"Finnerty's, a longtime Manhattan bar dedicated to Bay Area sports, is permanently closing today after 11 years due to the drop in business caused by the pandemic, and the owners not being able to reach a favorable rent agreement, according to a spokesperson for the bar." - Tanay Warerkar

"Getting food from Han Dynasty or Joe’s Pizza while drinking a keg with friends may sound like one of those confusing dreams that mixes current life circumstances with college ones, but at Finnerty’s, you can make it a reality. Both of those restaurants are about a block from this East Village sports bar, which offers the option to reserve a keg of anything from its massive beer list." - Bryan Kim, Matt Tervooren

"Your roommates don’t actively dislike sports, but they complain about going to sports bars because they don’t want to eat jalapeno poppers or room-temperature chicken tenders. Finnerty’s is an East Village sports bar with a BYO food policy, so you can bring in Han Dynasty or Joe’s Pizza whenever you get hungry - both are a block away. They also offer the option to reserve a keg, which is a good move if you want to day drink with a big group while watching pretty much any game you want (they have a lot of TVs)." - Matt Tervooren

This place is your typical bro bar..not saying it’s good or bad. I liked the attitude of the bar tender who really seemed invested in his customers. I went up several times to ask about different kind of drinks they could make and they were very accommodating with me, patiently waited to hear what I wanted. They got me what I needed! So for that reason, I would go back.

Came for the Warriors game, stayed for the frozé This frozé is not for the faint of heart! One is good, two is enough. I heard it's a blend of liquor (like a LI) that is the secret behind the punch. It's always a little busy when I come by, but the service is great! BYOF!

This is the Giants bar of New York. By which I mean the original baseball Giants, founded as the New York Gothams in 1883. With that being said, it is also the Bay Area bar of New York as well, and both are excellent things! You can get Anchor Steam on tap at a good price, watch Giants baseball, bring your own food in, enjoy the pleasant atmosphere, and receive warm and quick service. Can't ask for much more than that from a sports bar.

First of all this is the best place to watch any California teams. I come here to watch Stanford football and there's always a good crowd. The staff is also super friendly. They've always been really nice, and this weekend I left my card there and forgot to close out, and when I came back the next day for it they were even more understanding and friendly about it than I could've asked for. They have good drinks for good prices, and they let you bring in outside food which is awesome because there are great pizza places nearby. I come all the way down from the Bronx to go to Finnerty's! I absolutely recommend this place.

One of the best nights of my life. Had some down time. Found this place by accident and well being a Niners fan and sports fan, this place had the SF Giants game on. Met some great people. We had a lot of drinks and enjoyed the games. Bartender was outstanding. Turned the music on every time the ball game went to commercial. Brought it back up at the right time all while keeping the whole bar drinking. I won’t ever hesitate to go back. Niners!!!!

A great bar to go to if you're a California transplant. All Pac 12 games and West Coast sports teams on the many TVs. And best of all, West Coast beers like Anchor Steam and Racer 5 on tap! Only downside is that they don't serve food there, but you are allowed to bring your own.

This is exactly where I needed to be on my recent trip to NYC! It was great to be surrounded by SF sports fans, and every TV had a Bay Area team on (it was the perfect storm of baseball, basketball, and hockey seasons). Friendly staff, great beer selection, and plenty of space for all of the Bay Area fans. Definitely a must if you are in NYC and want to catch a Giants game!

This is a great bar to hang out and watch all Bay Area sports. Prices are normal for New York ($8 beer, $10 glass of house wine). Big crowds for big games. Rating brought down by unfriendly staff that rudely and abruptly shut the bar down well before listed closing.
