Where To Watch The 2022 World Cup In NYC

"TailGate, an outdoor sports bar in Williamsburg, will be showing every single World Cup match no matter what time it starts. Yes, it'll probably be cold out, but this place has bottle service, private heated cabanas made out of shipping containers, and more than 20 TVs spread out across the venue. The menu has a handful of shareable platters, like one with a quesadilla, tacos, and chips with guacamole." - kenny yang

Where To Watch Sports Outside In NYC

"We’d like to think tailgating has prepared us for our current situation of huddling in the cold watching football, but we’ll still take some heat lamps. Which is exactly what’s being offered at this new outdoor sports bar in Williamsburg. Along with heated cabanas, they’re doing a bunch of special deals for when the Chiefs and Bucs square off that include bottle service and a puppy-friendly “Puppybowl brunch.” Make a reservation and find out more info here." - matt tervooren

NYC’s Anti-Outdoor Dining Contingent Launches a ‘Chuck the Sheds’ Rally This Weekend - Eater NY

"The price hike in chickens is forcing some city restaurants to scramble to still turn a profit over the Super Bowl weekend. The sports bar hasn’t upped its wing prices for fear of losing customers but is trying to find other ways to make up the losses, including launching a new winter cocktail menu." - Erika Adams

32 Restaurants for Heated Outdoor Dining in Brooklyn - Eater NY

"Billed as an outdoor sports bar, Williamsburg newcomer Tailgate has built 20 private “cabanas” out of repurposed shipping containers. Each table is outfitted with a space heater and a widescreen television, while diners can order food truck fare and coolers of beer for their group. Keep an eye on the bar’s Resy and Instagram pages for a list of its events, which include screenings of RuPaul’s Drag Race, the Bachelor, and Sunday Night Football." - Erika Adams, Luke Fortney

Just visited this bar, and it quickly became one of my favorite spots! The music and atmosphere are on point—it’s lively, fun, and the perfect place to unwind. The space is really well-designed, with plenty of room and lots of tables, so you never feel cramped, even on a busy night. One of the best things about this place is the variety of games and entertainment they offer. Whether you’re into playing pool, darts, or just enjoying some good old-fashioned board games, there’s something here for everyone. If you’re looking for a great night out with good vibes, this is definitely the bar to hit up. Can’t wait to go back!

came here for the Yes Chef Food Fest & everything was so good! Only thing is that it was super crowded I kind of wish there were designated time slots but overall all the vendors were delicious. Im hoping we get another Yes Chef Food Fest next year!

I went for Pride day and was so happy with meeting other party goers. Sadly, when I tried to enter the venue at first I had a rude encounter with whoever was handling their tickets at the time and had to make sure that the people who wanted me there for professional reasons knew what was going on. I didn’t let that bad encounter ruin my night. I also love the security team, they’re really sweet and made my day. Also the food and drinks are reasonable prices.

Just left this venue after attending YES CHEF FOOD FEST, promoted by Bucketlisters NYC. Event started at 12p, we arrived at almost 1p. Stood on a long line that reached the furthest street corner opposite the entrance, with about 100 people. Inside was already crowded to the brim by the time we got in, about 30+ minutes later. Couldn’t last longer than an hour in there it was so uncomfortably crowded with 84 degree weather, sun beaming down without cover. How incredibly irresponsible of this events organizers to try to squeeze hundreds of people in this small space for this type of event! Cons: - Overpopulated - Not enough seating for crowd size. Most people were standing around eating their food and being shuffled around because we were either in a crowd flow space, blocking a food line or just a “no standing” zone. - Overpriced food. Although the 3 spots I tried after ridiculously long and confusing lines were delicious, food companies were price gouging. - horrible to non-existent crowd flow Pros (for the event organizers): - They got my money 🤦🏻‍♀️ without caring for people’s quality of experience or health regulations. - Security was patient and informative This event should’ve been in a much bigger venue, with at least THREE 3 hour blocks of entry/ ticket price times.

Super friendly staff, great bartenders, and plenty of space! If you’re looking for a cool place to hang out, an outing for a group event, or a place to catch whatever your favorite game it, this is the place to be! They even have a sand volleyball court! Local beers are also a plus!

What a vibe!!!!!!! This is what life is about baby. What a lovely little backyard bar hangout in a great location. Wish I could come back every day but I would lose my job!!!!!

It's weird that there is no food served here, but the drinks are very reasonable. I went to watch a FIFA world cup match and the atmosphere was really really good. The music was good, the beers were good, the staff was good, and the overall ambience was great. Great. Just one thing, food is served here but not inside. If you want food you will have to go outside and get it. Overall a very good bar, 10/10 would go again.

so fun, outdoor great summer vibes with yard games. good mix of canned drinks and fresh cocktails.

Great place to watch a Knicks playoff game on a warm evening! I definitely suggest making a reservation just because I have been here for games that have been completely packed, but they've expanded with a lot more tables and TVs so I like your chances of just walking in as well. There was no food on the Monday night I went but pretty sure they have a taco truck on busier nights (maybe Thursday-Sunday?) and I remember the food being really good. Steve the bartender was amazing and made sure we had a great time, even when I was stressed AF about the New York Knickerbockers. Will definitely be stopping by again!

What happened to this place? It used to be Tailgate, the go-to for a great game day vibe, buzzing with college football fans and Barstool employees. The bar now seems to be a showcase for a DJ, replaying the same tracks as whoever performed most recently at Forest Hills Stadium or Brooklyn Mirage with minimal service. When I arrived, there was no hostess stand, and I had to track someone down just to check in--a frustrating setback that took about 10 minutes to resolve. I'd booked a shipping container with a private TV, but they first tried to seat me at a regular table. After minimal pushback, we were seated at a table with spotty TV signal, and we waited another 10 minutes to move to a table with a functioning TV. They've also scrapped the convenient table service and QR code ordering, forcing everyone to line up at a single bartender, where a 20% gratuity is automatically added for drinks that are already on the expensive side and are primarily canned. Really disappointing to see how far this place has fallen. I miss the old days and doubt I'll come back.

Stopped by here for some quick drinks while out with friends, and it was a lively, fun stop. Set up outside, there's plenty of picnic tables to sit at with a bar as well as a food stand. Weather was nice, so perfect for sitting outside. It was definitely busy while we were there, had to wait in line a bit to get our drinks, but it wasn't that bad of a wait. It was early afternoon when we were there, but I can only imagine how busy it gets later in the evening. Great music playing, and they also have some games set up for people to play. There were no big sports games on that day, but I'd imagine this would be a great place to watch a game. Bartenders are great, and they work through the line well. Great stop to grab some drinks with a group of friends.

It has been a whole year later, but I told myself when I went back I'd get pictures! Truthfully everything I said in my first review I still stand by. I will add that when drinks are purchased tip is included and they won't always tell you that so keep that in mind!

Great space for a large gathering, quick service, quesdillas were good. No TVs though so dont plan on watching sports here

Steven is so friendly and vibrant. Love the games and all of the space they have. Such a wide variety of drinks, and they have nice food options too.

Kris H.

Such a scam. They advertise cocktails as $12, we got 2 and ended up paying $36. They told me after the fact that they add tax and auto gratuity and I ended up tipping extra thinking it was a normal tip. Then when I asked he gaslit me into telling me he had "warned me" about the extra charges LOL he said "anything extra would be appreciated" which to me meant "hey please tip me" so I did. Considering I paid $14 for a beautiful rooftop cocktail across the street and didn't get scammed into paying $36 for 2 watered down drinks I will definitely stick to the drink with a view not this BS place that tricks you into spending your hard earned dollars and tipping extra to people who did nothing but dis-service you

As we were wandering around Williamsburg, we happily stumbled into this fun, outdoor space. After a quick ID check, we headed over to the bar for some drinks. The highball is basically a well drink with mixer for $14 each. I got a whiskey with gingerale, which is usually my go-to. The bartender also gave a shot of the Devil's Backyard Frozen Margarita to try, which had a nice kick of spice. With a drink in hand, we decided to play some corn hole. What I love about this place is all the games and activity they offer from corn hole to ball pong to volleyball, and giant jenga. It's perfect for parties and groups to hang out here. Plus, there's also a food truck if you're getting hungry. This is such a fun spot for the community that feels like you're literally in a friend's backyard.

Amazing location! We stumbled in randomly & Chris ( manager / bartender) gave us a mini tour & an overview of the location amenities.I really appreciated this, as new- comer from the Bronx (BX Stand UP). The atmosphere is lovely- lots of space and lively energy. There was a volleyball game happening & plenty of games to enjoy. Chris is amazing & we I will definitely be back because of him.

Went to grab a drink. The bartender took our order and said a tip would be kindly appreciated. We saw the tips for 5 , 7 or 9%. We thought wow... finally a place that doesn't eye gauge you with unwarranted tips. Drinks were $12 a piece. We then realized our drinks were $36. We went back to the bartender with the pony tail and he said "20% gratuity automatically added... I told you before we ordered" this was absolutely not true. They just try to hustle you for your money. End of the way it was on me for not playing close enough attention. Can't trust anyone, even BK backyard BBQ.

After being denied entry at a nearby hotel for a dress code faux pas, I stumbled on this lovely spot for a few drinks with my friends on our night out. Great outdoor vibes with games like corn hole, volleyball, and a scaled-up beer pong available. Plenty of outdoor seating. The Moscow Mule was really good and the bartenders were really friendly. Definitely worth checking out again in the future.

Margs are the go to for hot days. Tons of outdoor games like volleyball, corn hole, pong.

We were watching this spot from the top of the William vale hotel/westlight and there was a whole lot of vibes in here! We saw people jumping double Dutch, shooting basketball, and just dancing having a ball! After we left westlight we decided to stop by to see what was happening inside and we weren't disappointed! The security at the gate was so friendly and welcoming (Chrissy I believe her name was)! They have a bunch of different games like giant connect four, which we indulged in. The music was great and everyone was just dancing and having a GRAND OL TIME! We stayed for just about an hour as I had to head to work but we have definitely added this spot to our list so we can go back and get the full experience!

Had pinpointed BK Backyard to be our Sunday evening place for a football outing. However, they informed us that there hadn't been enough reservations that evening and asked us to leave. Bizarre to say the least and bordering on offensive. To be honest, ruined our entire evening. Have a backup plan for this place.

This is place looks cute on the outside, unfortunately I found a small bandaid at the bottom of my glass, I had finished most of the beer before I spotted it . When I brought it to the bartender they were really rude and dismissive. Definitely would not reccomend, steer clear.

Lisandra R.

Great service everyone is so friendly. And they really keep the party going. The drinks was also very taste and strong

I thought it was a sports venue, not knowing there was a ruPaul event pretty much on Fridays, plus no sound for 3 quarters of the game. It wasn't an ideal place to come for a game! The bathrooms is porta potty, and so dark I have to guess where I m aiming. Food was expensive and limited to the point there was a closed on one of the food venues, and alcohol was expensive AF. For a sports venue or outdoor event, I wouldn't come back because the prices doesn't collate to what I can get in other locations. You mind as well go to the local bar for more bang for your buck. You going to have to spend $100 for a cup of double shot and two orders of food, why not bring your date to somewhere else.

Christian O.

All the waiters and waitresses were super drunk. We asked for the check and they said they would bring it, then waited 30 minutes and had to go to the bar to actually close out. Our waitress couldn't even comprehend our requests she was so drunk. I don't even know what to say, it was somewhat shocking. The music was way too loud and there was no game sound, so if you are going to watch the game would not suggest. There is no food, you must go outside the bar to the food trucks and wait there. Would strongly suggest going to other places nearby for watching games (Kent Ale) or really anywhere if you are trying to get a drink. Update: They charged our card twice as well. Forgot to mention they said it was $150 minimum per table, and we were going to leave so they changed it to one drink per person?

I'm from San Francisco, I came here for the Super Bowl. The spot was such a vibe and the workers were more than sweet and brought the entertain. I would completely recommend if you're looking for a young vibe and want a drink.
