The Best Sports Bars In NYC - New York - The Infatuation
"This second coming of a beloved San Francisco sports bar—originally in the East Village—is the best place in town to watch the Giants, 49ers, and Warriors. Finnerty’s 2.0, in Midtown, still has plenty of fernet-fueled Bay Area charm and sports memorabilia. While it gets appropriately rowdy during games, this is nevertheless a good spot for a post-office drink or wings with any colleagues if you work in the area. Even if Derek from accounting doesn’t totally grasp the significance of the life-size painting of Willie Mays making The Catch, it’s still nice to look at." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim
Great and spacious sports bar. I like the service here better than all the others around the vicinity maybe because it’s not as busy so they pay more attention to you.
At the end of the day, all drinks are pretty much the same no matter where you go, but it’s how satisfied and comfortable you feel.

Soft opening, so no food available yet. But wow, the renovation of this place is gorgeous! Spacious, lots of TV screens everywhere, clean, welcome, and a great neighborhood bar to be in. It's likely to be a neighborhood favorite and staple once it gets up and running. Can't wait!
Note: SF giants bar ⚾️

Great new Sports Bar with a lot of space close to Ktown. Brandon was our bartender and took care of us all night! Tons of TVs, ability to split the streams and switch a single TV, which makes it so much easier to watch multiple games. Fantastic new spot that I look forward to visiting more often!!

First timer . Was walking around in NY and found this place . When I peaked in it wasn’t that crowded and thought of hopping on . Great location. I looked at copa America flag outside and assumed it was a sports bar . Lots of space inside to sit ! Bar is good . Lots of seats and it was well maintained. They don’t have few brewers and no bluemoon etc. they did have some good IPAs . 10$ per glass of beer: expensive but ok..
No fooooood :( wow. Not even snacks . I’m confused why couldn’t buy some small packet snacks like peanuts and sell locally . You have to chug beer and drink there with zero food . Yeah . They said they were new and it will take a month for the food , but why open a sports bar without food !!!!! Disappointed . They could always buy some snacks and give them to customers .. 3 stars now and if it improves later , I’ll come and update the rankings .

Wonderful week at this bar during the Fifa World Cup of Clubs in NY. The staff managed to properly serve a crowd way more numerous than usual with grace and efficency. Hawaian Kona beer available and great burgers !!! Days to be remembered.

The bay area bar is back!!!!! Losing finnerty's in NYC left a hole in my heart and I'm so glad they're back and better than ever. Feeling lucky to have a piece of home here 🧡🖤

Fine time at Finnerty's! Friendly, obliging service, reasonable prices considering the location. Plenty of room for our group of hockey fans. Fun atmosphere but not too loud. Great to have this place back in NYC. Looking forward to seeing what the food will be like once they get that going. Bay Area inspired - how can they go wrong?

I remembered their old cozy location, watching the SF Giants play and having beers with other SF natives. Back then, it was difficult to find bars/places that would air Bay Area team games. Fast forward to today and this new bar is just as welcoming and probably the only place in NYC that airs Bay Area sports teams, and beyond. Bartenders were friendly and kept the beers flowing. Their selection of whiskey is limited, but decent.
With Bay Area sports paraphernalia on their walls, I totally felt at home watching the Warriors playoff game here along with the Giants playing on other screens. Both teams won that night and the crowd was extremely rowdy. Beats watching the games from my hotel room.
They served samples of Buffalo chicken tenders. They didn't have a food menu yet. But if that chicken tender was a sign of what's to come, I'll definitely come back!

Great venue with helpful staff, ready to tune the TV of your choice to the Giants game (or whatever game you're interested in. And they have a limited food menu now, with excellent burgers and fries.

I'd heard about Finnerty's from the SFGiants broadcasts, but it was great to be able to find a home away from home. Good was great. Garlic fries tasted like the old ones from Candlestick. Great Bay Area beer selection. Service was quick and friendly.

Great sports bar, as a SF Giants fan this is the place to be in NYC. Lots of SF & Giants paraphernalia on the walls. They don't have food yet, as the kitchen is still under construction, the only thing they offer right now is potato chips with dip. But they have a full bar with 8-10 beers on tap, another 8-10 in bottle, and a wall of liquors. The next time the Giants play the Yankees or Mets, will definitely come back here to pre-game and/or post-game.

Service was horrible the bartender & manager were very rude! We came here to see the warriors game was excited to find a Bay Area bar but with the horrible service by both the manager & bartender definitely do not recommend this place

Had an amazing time at Finnerty's. Bay Area sports fans dream bar. Super friendly staff, quick service, and clean bathrooms. They don't have food yet but they allow in any outside food. Thank you to the best bartender, Daniel, for making our visit memorable! Highly recommend this bar!

Gotta give 5 stars out here! Huge shoutout to Brandon for being so accommodating to my wife and I! Came to watch the warriors vs rockets playoff game here and the atmosphere was crazyyyy! We loved it so much. They even gave us some amazing food to sample. We'll definitely be back!
