14 New York Bars Where You Can Watch Football | Eater

"If you want a dive that’ll take you back to your old college bar, look no further than Down the Hatch. Tucked away in Greenwich Village, this low-key bar is a go-to for sports fans and locals alike. The drinks are inventive and the food hits the game-day spots (you can’t go wrong with the chicken wings and crispy tater tots). Order your favorite rum-based cocktail, grab some grub, and settle in — it’s going to be a good game, no matter how your team plays." - Julia Gómez Kramer

"COVID-19 update: Open for pickup. Ariane Goldman had her lightbulb moment five years ago when she was pregnant with her daughter and couldn’t find many fashionable options for her growing size. Her months of searching resulted in Hatch, an easy-to-wear line geared toward mothers before, during, and postpregnancy. There are staples, like a striped bateau and chambray tops, as well as special pieces, like the Noa Jumper, a versatile linen jumpsuit with adjustable knotted straps, and the Ziggy Pant, which features a stitched smocked waistband to accommodate an expanding waist. Dressing rooms have a size chart to help you figure out how a piece might fit, depending on where you are in your pregnancy and—best yet—there’s a cravings bar stocked with candy, pickles, you name it. COVID-19 disclaimer: We are working hard to keep our listings as up to date as possible (deliveries, outdoor dining, etc.), but given the evolving nature of local COVID-19 restrictions, we recommend double-checking the information in this guide with any business you plan on visiting.

I'm sure it's fantastic for locals who are looking for your run-of-the-mill basic beer options, but as visitors we were hoping for some more authentic local NY beer options. As far as food, we got the Lemon Garlic Pepper and the Honey BBQ wings with Waffle Fries, but the Honey BBQ wings were the only one of those items that we really enjoyed and honestly the only reason I consider giving the food any stars at all. Staff was friendly, everything was pretty affordable, and it has a nice atmosphere. If you're hungry for wings and thirsty for any kind of beer it's an alright choice

Incredible bar! We walked past and saw the happy hour and just had stop by and ended up spending a couple of hours there. Alex the bartender was incredible friendly and made the tastiest spicy margarita we have ever had. Very good service and nice and clean place. Will be going there again before my trip ends, wish I lived here and could become a regular💖

Super dive bar ! They have different happy hour every day, for example on Saturday all the bottles and cans are $5. There are some TVs to watch a football game and there is plenty of space to enjoy a beer with your friends. I would definitely recommend if you are in the area !

Always a great place to enjoy some delicious wings and a beer! I always take a trip back in time when visiting since my husband found this place as a USMA Cadet (20 years ago!) on weekend leave and we stop by every time we are in the city. This time we brought our kids back!! We sat on the patio and enjoyed our time together, even though I wasn’t able to eat indoors. Thankful that option is offered!

Really nice local spot to chill and enjoy yourself. Great music. You'll definitely meet a lot of people. It's very friendly. I can't forget about Sam the bartender. She's awesome!! So if you get her as your bartender make sure you tip her well. 😀

You couldn't pay me to hate this place. Down the Hatch might be one of the last true dive bars where you can get a deal and come out on top. I used to frequent this place for happy hour when I worked in the area but hadn't been back in ages. I was recently here on a Saturday with a friend in town. We had over an hour to kill before our dinner reservation and wanted somewhere to pass the time that wouldn't break the bank. Down the Hatch was serving $5 cans on a Saturday, which even included an alcoholic seltzer, so we were in. $10ish bucks each later, we were feeling good and not poor, so it was a win. The place wasn't overly crowded despite this deal. Ambiance is a dive bar, but relatively clean and unrowdy. I hope this place never closes and continues to be a spot where you can hang out with friends without going broke on drinks.

Came back here for some wings. Cool bar, although it seems louder now, good service, but sadly the wings were a huge disappointment. At the start of the pandemic, there were still atomic wings. I'm sad to say that they no longer carry these and you can definitely taste the difference. I ordered the hot wings and at first glance they didn't look like they were coated with any sauce. Good hot wings have a decent ratio of saucy to crunchy. These wings were DRY. No sauce in the container to speak of and barely any on the chicken. Flavorless! I literally had to fix these with a bottle of Frank's red hot buffalo sauce. Considering that the price on a lot of things have gone up in this bar including the wings, I don't want to pay for something I'll have to fix when I get home. I'm glad I got to go there before congestion pricing kicked in because these wings are not worth the toll. I will stay my behind in Brooklyn.

I have been going to Down the Hatch and the other bars from the NYCBestBar group (Off the Wagon, 3 Sheets Saloon, Jake's Dilemma) for over 20 years but unfortunately they have changed for the worse. Down the Hatch, in particular isn't the same as it used to be. We used to go to these bars for the fun atmosphere and cheap drinks but prices have gone up considerably. In the past I would pay around $7 for a domestic pitcher during happy hour and around $13 during regular hours but right now it's $12 during happy hour and $22, yes $22 during regular hours for a Coors light pitcher. If you opt for Blue Moon or other imported beer it's more expensive. If you opt for a domestic pint during regular hours you'll pay almost the same you would pay at a bar in midtown. They no longer serve the famous Atomic Wings, instead they make it in house. It's tasty but not as tasty as the old Atomic Wings. On the plus side the music is still good, bartenders friendly and the vibe is nice, but I miss the old Down the Hatch!

This is a quintessential dive bar. It's hard to notice down some steps. The neighborhood is full of pretentious restaurants. This was a great find. We came on a Sunday afternoon. It was busy enough. Bottles and cans were only $5 which is a steal in NYC. We decided to go ahead and order a bit of food. We split a double cheeseburger with waffle fries. It was an amazing burger! Just what you would expect from a dive bar...flavorful, a little greasy, and a toasted bun. The waffle fries were also really good. You have to order everything at the bar which is a pain in the a$$. There was only one person working the bar when we were there and they were having a hard time keeping up. It's clearly a locals bar which is what we love! Also, if you're in the mood, they have beer pong set up and ready to go!

Great little happy hour spot in the Greenwich area. Entire bar is half off and after 8pm, they offer $1 wings.

This place is a dump and people literally only come here for cheap Jell-O shots. Today couldn't come in because I was wearing ugg slides? Meanwhile the crowd was ratchet inside. Never coming back. Can't wait til a new bar opens in this space when this inevitably closes.

W 4th Street bar in NY Univ hood. Take a few steps down from street level to Down The Hatch and you got Drinks, TVs and Best drinks in West Village. Fully stocked bar and positive, high energy Keyla gets it all going for guests. The music is bumping funky and plenty of TVs for all sports activities.

This place is the perfect chill bar. Such a great vibe. The bartenders are cool and nice to talk to. The service is great. The food comes out fast and it's surprising delicious for a bar. The burger here has beat some burgers in restaurants and diners that I've tried. It's a very juicy double cheeseburger. They have a full bar but only American beers, no imports. They have beer pong set up in the rear and darts. Numerous tvs, each showing different sports. Festive lights flickering throughout with the feel of a dive bar. Happy Hour is Everyday until 7pm which is awesome and very rear. I highly recommend this spot. Just pop in and try it and I'm sure you will be a returning customer

The service I experienced here has been amazing. A couple weeks ago I went here and ended up loosing a necklace that meant so much too me. It was something that was really bothering me so I reached out to management there to see if they could check the cameras for me to see what happened to it, and they have just been so kind and helpful. Lucas, especially was empathetic of my situation and has done everything in his power to connect me to the right people. Taylor and Kurk, were two other people who I have spoken with and could not be more appreciative of their efforts to help me try a future out what happened to my necklace. They are working with me weeks after to help me. I highly recommend swinging by Down the Hatch. They deserve the business.

The Great Man Theory posits that history can be explained by the impact of a few great men (ex. Alexander the Great, George Washington, Winston Churchill, YNW Melly, etc.). Their actions had a profound impact on those who lived during their time and on those who lived after. To be considered part of their ilk is the closest us mortals can come to immortality. That is why I am so passionate about pushing every bar in the tri-state area to install floor piss grates throughout their establishments to empower everyone of every background to piss through said grates whilst wearing water repellant robes to conceal their "pieces" (or you can just let people go full action bronson on the dance floor who cares). This would enable patrons to avoid long bathroom lines and instead spend more time blacking out on Long Island iced teas. Will you join me in my revolution, or will you be left behind to the decrepit annals (lol) of history.

Basic drinks and strong pours at great prices (for NYC). Loved our adventure to find this highly recommended bar. Bartender was great at giving us recommendations for NYC nightlife. Doorman was also friendly. Tiny bathrooms, but that's part of the charm!

Lucas was the best bartender. He gave us recommendations for other places for pizza and cannolis. We couldn't have had a better time during the Knicks win.

I truly don't write reviews out of spite, but this one left a bad taste in my mouth. There was nobody at the door to greet me so I sat myself down. The bartender calls someone who I thought was going to be the server over to me, to ask me for my ID. So I did, and the server/bouncer/manager walked away. At the 20 minute mark there still was no server, this was at 6:20pm. This upset me and I walked out and to a different restaurant. The vibe of this place is also very off, like they're prison wardens. Might I add that the one person that I did encounter seemed as if he didn't want me there. However, online it seemed like a nice place to dine out. Very misleading, and I don't think anyone should patronize a business that treats their paying customers like crap.

PRICE · $ x 1.5 POSITIVE · West Villlage · Hot ladies · Smart ugly ladies · Beer pong table · TVs for catching up on games NEGATIVE · Can be ethinically homogenous like how one would feel about gentrification (... on the border with whether this is a negative or positive). IMPRESSION · It's a good spot to add to a list of bars to hop to and from.

I had my birthday here this year and had a pretty good time. They have a really nice and easy open bar package for groups that's $60 per person for a 3 hour open bar. I knew ahead of time that I wouldn't have a private room but was a little disappointed when I got there and they didn't even have any sort of assigned area for my group. I was also a little unimpressed with how uncoordinated the check in process was. I was told my guests would come to the bouncer, pay $60, and receive a wristband, and instead the guy with the wristbands was hanging out inside the bar so people were on a wild goose chase to find him all night. Ironically, it was very easy to coordinate with them beforehand and everyone I spoke to on the phone was great, it was just chaos the night of. I will say that they were very generous with the open bar. It was a little unclear beforehand whether actual cocktails were included or just mixed drinks, but they didn't limit us to mixed drinks. The bartenders were fast and I don't think anyone waited very long at all. They served a cake to me at one point and held onto it until the next day which was amazing! I was shocked when we were able to pick it up intact. All in all, there were a few kinks, but it was a nice night and I would consider having a party there again in the future.

Cheap drinks and a good time! I've been here a few times with friends and I leave pretty satisfied. The drinks are cheap and with the right group, you'll have a blast. Don't go looking for an amazing experience as this is truly a dive bar. The inside is pretty small but when the weather is nice, sitting outside is much better.

Love this place. They have one of the best happy hours in the West Village and on top of that there bar food is pretty good as well! Rustic but homey feel. The servers/bar tenders have always been kind and welcoming every time I stop by here.

Bouncer was hitting on girls that he turned away for being underage. Bartender was also being creepy towards the girls in my group. Decent prices I guess but it's not enough to save this place.

Went here for brunch. Got the bottomless mimosas and some wings. The place definitely changed since covid. Pre-pandemic the food and drinks were bottomless for an extended time. Now only the drinks are bottomless and it's only for 90 mins. After our 90 mins were up, we had additional drinks at the bar. I have no complaints about this place. The waiters and bartenders were friendly. The wings were good. Although they changed their bottomless brunch, it was nice to see they survived the pandemic.

the fries and wings simply put are what you want here and maybe a matching drink to go with it. this place is what you want to end with. the wings are crispy and juicy. the fries are crispy and perfect not oily. there are plenty of beer options that you can have try to come early and not on the weekend because it does get packed.

I used to be a big fan of this spot. Nice location and they have pong which is a fun game to play with friends. I unfortunately had a really unpleasant experience there with a bar tender yesterday 2/7. The bar tender yesterday was incredibly rude and possibly racist to me and my friends. I walked in with a group of 7 while the bar was entirely empty. He refused to let us play pong because 1/7 people wasn't drinking alcohol. They were willing to buy something else on the menu but he kept on saying if we got something other than alcohol it would be the equivalent of us loitering and ruining his business. He kept saying we were treating it like a library after all of us were drinking except for one person who abstains for religious purposes. I don't know if it was because my group was largely of asian descent but he kept telling us "this isn't a library". I don't know his name but he is the bartender with face tattoos and I have seen him have really rude interactions with people before. This is the first time I've seen it myself and the probably the last time I go or recommend this spot. Very sad.

No joke! A colleague of mine took me to Down the Hatch for my first drink in 2005 and I fell in love with kettle one & cranberry, atomic wings and waffle fries. One of the coolest and well known dive kinda bar in the village for happy hour specials like seriously 1/2 off prices on all alcohol beverages and they make their drinks stiff!!! Perfect place to go for drinks with a group of coworkers, friends or have a casual date. They have great deals on drinks, the best atomic wings in NYC, juicy waffle fries and good variety of music. Don't forget to take a shot at their ping pong tables and flirt with the boys! Most importantly, I'd recommend you bring a business card and drop it into the fish bowl. Try your luck to win one hour of free happy hour! Have fun!!!

I'm a big fan of these bars. I can walk in knowing exactly what to expect. Great drink specials, good bar food and awesome service. I love the jalapeño poppers and burger. Pretty much everything I've tried has been worth ordering again. Drink specials in NYC that you just can't beat. Join them in the side room for beer pong! It is definitely "down the hatch" though, as there is limited light in this basement bar, so know that going in, but it still remains as a great bar! 4/5

I went in this spot around 6 to kill time before I was headed to somewhere else. This spot is nice inside, TVs all over, they play music through there wall speakers and it has some bar finger food available. If your a person that likes to go and sit, drink and watch sports then you'll be fine. The food I would skip as it wasn't good. I had the nachos and they were gross.

This place right here reminds me of my good ole college nights. I would come here for their cheap beer and beer pong. They also have one of the best wings I've had (definitely in my top 5 list). Bartenders are always nice, n they always have good music playing. They have 2 beer pong tables in the back for those that play. They always have great happy hour deals too. Good place to catch your best sport on tv.

This place is a fire hazard they let WAY too many people in at night on the weekend, you can literally barely move. Also remember the age range is about 21-24 year olds. Miserable for an adult lol

It's a dive. It's an awesome dive. A fun time fueled by cold beer, great staff, good music and great drunk food! First of all each time we've been in we've been lucky enough to hang out with Katie the bartender - this lady is a winner with a great balance of sweet kid, love of fun and the toughness it takes to manage the likes of Friday night Village crowds. A great tap list includes both local and mass-market beers. Also a full bar with the usual suspects and all priced pretty reasonably. The topper though is a bar food menu that's pretty ridiculous - hot wings a dozen different ways (really good btw), fried macaroni and cheese, juicy onion rings, sliders - whatever you want. If you want to get away from the touristy Village bar scene, this place feels like home - especially if you live in a bar :-)

They advertised brunch for $25 on their website but was $35 when I arrived, +$5 if you want a more variety selection of drinks. You're given a plastic cup that you write your name on (lose the cup and the specials end!), unlimIted bar food, and a wristband to order. I came early on a Saturday and I was able to get seats with a larger group of friends. The breakfast basket that was part of the brunch menu was DELICIOUS, it includes: 2 sausage, 1 hash brown, and 2 French toast sticks. I ordered two breakfast baskets! If you're a bar food person, tater tots, onion rings, and waffle fries are included as well. If you prefer buffalo wings, they're also in unlimited and come mild/med/spicy. WiFi is also free and quick. I would definitely come back because it gets lively and all the students from NYU seem to visit love it here.

Happy hour! Hell yeah! Hit up this place while roaming the mean streets of NYC! Nobody blinked an eye as a large black guy entered the underground pub. Bartender was mad friendly as she explained that happy hour was in progress. A couple of cold beers were perfect as I wait to pick up my daughter from NYU. Great place to hang. Good music. Cheap beers. Cool atmosphere. Do it!

This bar is not what it used to be. Which makes me really sad to say as this used to be one of my favorite bars in the area.The last couple of times the service and quality of food has decreased significantly. I decided to give it one last try and went in on a Wednesday evening. The bar was relatively empty so I decided to sit at the bar. I sat there for over 10 minutes and was not acknowledged once by the bartender working that night despite my many attempts to get his attention. Not just me, there were a couple of other people waiting for him too. He seemed to be more interested in talking to only one group at the other end of the bar. I gave up trying to order a drink and just walked out. It's save to safe I probably won't be going to down the hatch anymore.

One of the last minute place that we went, just for their well known LIT's! And let me tell you, 3 star is all because of their very well drinks + the service. The place is kinda ok! But definitely I would go here again for their drinks. We sat outdoors & it was nice.

Some buddies and I came to New York to watch the Dallas Cowboys whip some NY Giants ass...(sorry New York I had to throw that in there) but we stopped in Down the Hatch for afternoon grub and to watch football on Sunday. We get there and it's packed full of people having a great time, we find a table, and walk up to the guy behind the bar to order food and drinks. ( he's the manager there and I'm not going to misspell his name so it's the guy behind the bar for now) Super professional and welcoming us Texas boys to his bar. Food was delicious and service was great. The guy behind the bar ends his shift and comes around to sit with us at the bar. Olga comes in to bartend next and well she's nothing short of amazing. Great attitude, impeccable service with a great smile. We end up having more drinks and then the manager shows us the sister bar to Down the Hatch and we ended, which was probably the best night in New York besides watching Dallas Beat the Giants, of our stay. I'll always tell everyone coming to New York best little place to hang out from this day forward! Cheers Guys! I'll be back!

Was just here the other night with a couple of girlfriends bar hopping and doing what we do best - having fun! Down the Hatch has delivered and it was a memorable night. The bartenders were super friendly and attentive and it was a great time. The bouncers/security guards even seemed friendly, and not that passive aggressive vibe you always sense from the others. Will return if I was in the area!

Brotastic dive bar shenanigans. Another stop during our random bar crawl through West Village. We have a couple of hours left to kill before heading back to work. The handy yelp search on the phone says this is within walking distance of the last bar we hit up, so here goes. We weren't specifically searching for DTH, but managed to stumble upon this spot. A few steps down from the street and we enter this little sports dive. It's like the college party moved from the frat house and into the basement. Rowdy is putting it mildly, and in a fun (insert national TV ad beer name) kinda way. It's Saturday night, and Down The Hatch's bar is packed. Not fire marshal level jammed nuts-to-butts, but the bar area sure seemed like it. Maybe 4-5 people deep, but I don't think they're all wanting drinks. It's just that there's not much room or open seating. We got some cheap beers, but no eats. We were on a mission to crawl this part of the city, not settle in any particular spot, although watching the drunken sh!t show develop is worth hanging around. Kinda bummed I didn't have an appetite because the bar bites looked good and the yelp approval rating on the snacks are trending positive. If you're looking for intimate, fancy, or hipster, then this won't be your cup of organic loose leaf tea. If you're good to bro down, then grab some cold beverages, maybe some kitchen snacks to soak up the alcohol, and party on!
