Been here a few times and enjoyed my experience each time. The staff is attentive, polite and friendly. It can get packed at times for big events but that should be expected even with how spacious it is. Expect your typical bar drinks with good bar food. I definitely recommend this spot and think you should give it a try. If your experience is not the best, then don't blame me : )

Super cute bar with ample seating. Went here for a happy hour and was pleasantly surprised by the attentive bartenders and speedy service. Would definitely recommend this place for large groups.

Amazing place to watch a Manchester United game....even when they lose, which is more often than not

Found this spot down the block from my hotel.. Walked in and got seated asap.. Fast service.. Jammed pack during the lunch on a weekday due to the soccer match was on.. Plenty of tvs, fast service, full bar and plenty of space.. Food was good, nothing too special just something quick and lite to eat before I got on my flight.

Smithfield Hall is conveniently right around the corner from me so I decided to check it out for the first Patriots game of the NFL Season, which happened to be on at the same time as the US Open Men's Finals that my friend wanted to watch. I was told at the door that there were two "sides" inside and if we wanted to be able to watch both things at once, our best bet would be outside. They have TVs facing out so that you can see them from the outdoor tables. The ambiance and vibe inside and outside were completely different. Outside it was pretty chill while inside it was rowdy, crowded and loud. I was happy to be seated outside, even though it was a bit less lively. The die hard people seemed to be indoors if not for the reason there was no way to hear sound for the TVs outside (I put the game on my phone and put one airpod in to hear the sound). Outside there are maybe 6 (covered) picnic tables in street and 4 high tops on the sidewalk. You conveniently order and pay for all food and drinks via a QR code. Initially I grabbed an open picnic table but the TVs are "owned" by the table in front of them and we could only call dibs on what would be shown on one TV. Kevin was awesome and directed us to a high top that had two TV's right in front of it so that we could call dibs on so that we could watch both the US Open and the Patriots Game. They have a lot of game day specials and prices are very reasonable. There's a big beer menu as well as cocktails, wine, etc. I opted for a topo chico with tequila (upgraded to patron) and had the chicken panini. The fries were excellent and I ate all of them despite my intent not to. The panini came on a pita like bread which was great because it wasn't too bready. I was very happy and pleasantly surprised how good the food was. I'm a fan! Tip: Bring bugspray if you sit outside because I was eaten alive.

A bit pricey, good Wait staff. Very attentive to the guests. The kitchen was a little open pretty late and we had no problems getting food at 11:30 PM. Very loud, not a good place to have soft conversation with a friend. Younger crowd for sure.

Loved it! Onion rings were on point service was great and REAL football on the tele!!

Came here to watch Premier League soccer on a Saturday morning. We were a party of 5 and got lucky getting a table as many tables were reserved. We only got beers and got served quickly. The reason I am giving 3 stars is because of service. We asked the waitress 5 times for cups of water as when we were seated they did not give us enough glasses for the whole party. They also refused to change one of the televisions to the match we wanted to see even though 95% of the televisions had the same game on. There are plenty of bars to watch these matches and this one did not impress.

The bartender was really nice. They have no menu for any cocktails or wine. The food certainly did not look appetizing. We decided to leave. They also have no volume on the TVs.

Came from out-of-town and hoped to catch a home MLS match. It took them a few minutes to find it in the listings, but got it on just in time. Good crowd. Very good staff. Good evening out.

We found Smithfield Hall steps away from the Renaissance in Chelsea on 3/17 at 9:30 in the morning. Expecting to be asked "How many?" we instead encountered "What game?" The left side of the hall was supporting Leicester in the FA quarter final, and the right side was supporting Chelsea. We replied "Can we have breakfast?" and were accepted in, knowing we'd best not dally lest the party who had a reservation show up. I had the excellent Avocado toast - although the avocado itself could have had more seasoning. My partner had the American Breakfast. Great coffee! We exited successfully about 80 minutes into the match. Love it!

Stopped in for drinks and to watch soccer on a Saturday mid day. If you're a big soccer fan, this place is for you and I'd recommend making a reservation for a table. It got pretty loud with people chanting for their respective teams. We were lucky and arrived at noon to get one of the last 6 tops available. They had standard bar drinks, beers on draft and by the pitcher, wine, cocktails seltzers. They also offered a few brunch options. We stuck to ordering drinks. Our waitress was not friendly and looked miserable. We barely saw her, had a hard time getting refills on drinks and waters and ended up scanning the QR code on the table to order via their online system. Overall, it was an average sports bar. Lots of soccer games and TV no matter who your team is.

Great spot to watch sports. Wide open, lots of TVs. Not too expensive. Strong recommendation

Went here for two hour open bar for work event and it was awesome Firstly, the staff was super friendly and cool. The vibes in the bar were chill & the ambience even outside of our party was nice. There were a good amount of people. I had a marg that was delicious, as well as a blue moon :) Nothing bad to say, would come back on my own!!

Wings were SUPER crispy, and I got the wing sauce on the side. Perfect crunch, and the sauce was delicious. The wings were really big too! (6 wings). Burger was alright, a little overdone but got the job done. Plus it was a pretty great size, and it came with fries!

Sunday morning in NYC and looking for a sports bar? Well, head to Smithfield Hall. We didn't realize it's actually a soccer bar, but thankfully they had the NFL games on a couple of TVs. I cannot believe how crowded this bar was but makes sense if there's that big of a soccer following in the area. Games were on all day. It's a super energetic bar to watch sports and have drinks. Unfortunately, we had lunch plans somewhere else so we did not partake in the food options but we saw lots of plates coming out of the kitchen. Food looked super tasty.

Big sports themed bar. Very dark inside even during the day. Good amount of outdoor seating where you can also see the TV during games. Decent selection of beers including their own branded lager and ale. Unfortunately the service is slow at best, and non existent at peak times. The food is not particularly good. The standout dish was the "guacamole", which was basically chips with a tiny bowl of store bought guacamole on the side, for $14. They try to get customers order online, but we had several issues with the payment portal so that wasn't any more efficient.

The food was classic Hostess found us a table* Hoppin' after work! *came here around 8 for Thursday night football, it was packed but we were seated right away.

I was craving a burger so I found the closest pub to me! It was total pub vibes with dark lighting, high tables, and TVs. We came by around 9pm on a Friday night and it wasn't busy at all! We easily sat at a table, ordered our drinks and food through the app, and was served pretty quickly. I ordered their classic burger which was pretty basic but fulfilled my craving. It came with a side of fries as well. I think the only downside was the price being about $15 and I wish there were more fries. Aside from that I loved that the place seemed pretty local and the service was great!

It was convenient located to the gallery at 150 W, so we stopped by for a quick dinner. Bar food which is ok, bad service, which isn't ok. Littles visibly on the floor inside, outside isn't any better.  The best thing is the sunset.

The smithsfield hall fries were delicious and I would get them again next time. I also got the breakt sanger and for $9 is a great deal and is filling without feeling like it was too much. I would get that again as well! Good seating for groups and if you sit outside at the tables with heaters that have the QR code, everyone orders from and pays for their own tab in their phone which is SO convenient

Service was good. Place was clean. Food was decent. I had a working lunch, only two people on my check. Also bought a round for a friend. Paid my bill, tipped 20%. It wasn't until I got home that I realized they added the 20% tip in already... and another line for additional tip! If the server doesn't explicitly tell me tip is included, I believe this is a shady practice and it leaves a very sour taste in my mouth. Not a good way to conduct business. Be careful of this place.

Smithfield Hall is your standard Manhattan sports bar. From photos, we thought it would be fancier than it actually is. It is actually just a dimly lit bar where once you look closely, it is just a step above a dive bar. There are a large amount of TVs to watch sports on and you will find a decent selection of beers (IPAs, lagers, ales, etc.)

Good place to watch sports, menu selection just ok. But the drink selection is limit and the drinks were so watered down. Much more of a beer bar wouldn't recommend for cocktails at all.

Great place to watch soccer, food was also very good, the staff was super friendly, and everyone was very welcoming, I can't wait to go back

So I was looking for a place to watch the Timbers vs Sounders derby while here in NYC (RCTID!). This was a great option. The place was pretty quiet on a Saturday afternoon in the summer, but it was cool and had a good sports bar vibe. The staff got the audio setup for the game for the whole bar, and it turns out there were actually several other people there to watch the game too (they were pretty decent people, despite being Flounders fans). The bar encourages ordering through a mobile app, which is actually super efficient. I had a chicken katsu sandwich, with fries. It was very tasty.

Barca Peña and good sports bar food and spot for drinks. Will return next time I am in the city.

!!!!!!!!DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!!! My boyfriend and I went here on December 1st and there was some terrifying sketchy scene going on. A man approached us with his "friend" trying to make friends with us and speaking in multiple different accents. This woman who "didn't know them" then tried to corner us and was completely on drugs. The three people that were next to us "left"? And left their phones, wallets, backpacks, and jackets there. I hope nothing bad happened to them but I wouldn't be surprised if something did with what these sketchy people were trying to do to my boyfriend and I. I tried to tell the bartender about the girl that was seemingly on drugs and he claimed to talk to her but did not kick her out even after I told him that she was saying very suspicious and profane things to me. I would never go back I have never felt more unsafe in my life.

Super service! Bartenders found our game on a tv even tho it was super crowded! Friendly clientele as well

This is a cool, Loud, atmospheric sports bar. Plenty of beer on tap including some very good German beers. Their home light beer was very good as was the German lagger. They use an app to place orders and pay for your food and drinks. It's a very nice concept as you just place the orders on the app, everything shows up (well not fast but it does eventually) and when done you just click a button add a tip and go home. The drinks always came fast but the food? We ordered when we sat and it took probably 40 minutes to get the food. So how do they still get a 4? We only ordered two things but man where they good. The shrimp tacos were not big but had plenty of shrimp and tasted amazing. The guacamole was also out of this world. It came with thick non greasy chip and was a legit version of this dish everyone has on the menu. I probably would have ordered one more thing as neither of these was a larger dish (the sweet potato fries looked pretty swell) but frankly did not want to wait another 40 minutes. They have a nice outdoor sitting area and plenty of tvs to catch the game.

Nice bar with a good beer selection, good food and good bartenders. Good choice for the neighborhood- gets very busy for certain soccer team games as fan clubs gather there.

Solid soccer pub with great vibes for watching games. Great beers and great liquor selection for anyone. Near Chelsea and a lot of great food nearby, but if you are a soccer fan, this is the place to be for premier league games.

Very cool pub in the heart of Chelsea. Home to fans of West Ham and Man City, and a respite to fans of good drink and food. We had the opportunity to watch the Field of Dreams game here with quite a few Yankee fans in attendance, but mostly just folks looking for a nice pub with chill at. Drinks specials are available and the food looks bomb. I like that they serve High West Bourbon and Double Rye, which rank high in my taste. They also have a plentiful selection of draft beer. Tried the Bavarian pretzel which appears to be scratch made and served with sides of beer cheese sauce and brown mustard. I could see food for other tables coming out and everything looked delicious. If you are in town and need a cool place to grab a drink, maybe some nosh and chill out, this is a great choice!

Had fun watching some sports here. Good selection of beers and spacious interior. Didn't try the food. I'll be back!

Favourite sports bar - There are two sides to this establishment; the left side has more high top tables for large groups and the right side has more table seating for smaller groups - TVs everywhere, no matter where you sit, you'll have a view - Definitely come early if a big game is on, you can bet it'll be packed - Get the Jameson wings and sweet potato fries!! I love them - Never had an issue with the service here

This was a really fun sports bar to watch a soccer game. There are several big TVs throughout the pub and the noise level was perfect. We ordered the chicken wings and the cheese burgers. We enjoy them all and will definitely be back for future games. Actually, we will be back even if there aren't any games on, as the atmosphere feels like one of those bars you used to visit in college without the rowdy crazy crowd.

I was STILL on the hunt for fish and chips, but we got there when it was Knicks and soccer at the same time, so BUSY!! But! The bartender was awesome, the pretzel we got instead was standard, and the atmosphere was FUN!

Great American dive bar style bar with amazing prices for NYC! Really a real experience!

Stopped as it was next to our hotel and we wanted a quick bite after traveling. Tasty tavern burger, we split one. The fries were good. It isn't mind blowing just a good tavern/pub for decent food.

I went for an early lunch on a Saturday afternoon, the crowd was fun and all about sports. They have a convenient menu barcode where you can place the order and pay. The food came immediately and was the best bar food I've had. The famous Jameson wings were so delicious. I would order a second just to take home. The waitresses walked around and made sure the customers were happy. The staff was nice, natural bar lighting and music level not too loud. Would come back again

Another great spot close to our hotel in Chelsea. Nice decor and very quick staff. Food was really good. Wings were above average. The Burger and fries were really quite good. Price was reasonable for NYC.

We stopped in on Memorial Day at about 11:30. It was completely empty except for one other patron. There was only one waitress and she kept sitting in the back. We didn't see her often but she came around when we needed her. We saw a couple come in and wait for about 5 min and no one helped them. They ended up leaving. I got the bacon. The thing about bacon slabs is that I don't care for the fatty part. Luckily there was some of it that wasn't fatty. A little less than half. The flavor was good. I will say they had a great $10 lunch specials menu! My friend got the beyond beef veggie burger. He said it wasn't that good. My other friend got the philly cheese streak and said it hit the spot. I had some of the fries, they were good! This place looked like it would be great to watch a sporting event. Otherwise nothing special. We only came because the place we wanted to go was full. I likely won't be back.

We only stopped in for a quick bite & a drink after a very long day. They were super busy, and we got a seat at the bar. The bartender (an "older" gentleman) was attentive & we enjoyed our drinks & calamari. The man that sat us was SO FRIENDLY & it really made a wonderful impression on us as most of the people we ran across in NYC weren't friendly. HaHaHaHa. The game was on so it was loud, but you could tell it was a loved place by those that frequent it!

Just had a couple pints but it is a great place to watch football(soccer). Great atmosphere and diehard footy fans singing their club chants!

service was awful, will never go back. I was really looking forward to watching a match with a friend but felt so unwelcome we left within 20 minutes.

Food was average, but service was non-existent. There was only one server for the entire back area so they seemed quite short-staffed. We came in on a Monday evening well before the football game and it wasn't that crowded. Even then, any time we wanted to get our server's attention, we had to flag her down. She never bothered to check on us after we got our food and when we ordered a drink (which never came), she said the ticket got lost at the bar. Huh? Just ended up canceling the order. Then we asked for A-1 and hot sauce which also never came. I asked again and it came at the end of the meal. The icing on the cake was that tips are pre-designated in the square up app they use so there is no incentive for good service IMHO. We ended up leaving an 18% tip (the lowest amount) so that we could leave as quickly as possible. This was definitely not a $70 dining experience.

Great bar for watching sports. Good food and great service. Best chicken wings! Bartender Kevin is the best

Actually I came here last night with my friend and it was super duper crowded. We sat on the stools along the wall and ordered vodka cranberry with a splash of pineapple. One of the server gave us a check and my friend was waiting for the change then another server brings us the same check...SMFH! Boy did it take awhile and slow service. Tonight my friend and I got to experience a better and quick service from our server Erin. Phewww...thank god we didn't get the same server from last night! I wanted to try the food before I decided to write this review. So here it goes... My friend and I got to Smithfield a little before 6pm and good thing it was emptied. The host showed us there was other set of tables behind the wall of TVs but it was dark and too quiet. We went back to the other side and grabbed the two seater with backs to the chairs because I hate sitting on stools and slouching through the night lol We were greeted by our fabulous server Erin and quickly ordered 2 vodka cranberry with a splash of pineapple topped with cherries =) Wow less than a minute and she's back with our drinks...that's what I am talking about fast service Food: (sharing is caring) Short Rib Tacos minus cilantro because I am so not a fan of cilantro...Oooooo the short rib was cooked to perfection and melts in your mouth Fried Calamari...huge pieces of squid rings deep fried so yummy in the tummy then Onion Rings...huge pieces as well with equal portion of the yummy batter and onion slices Overall we definitely found a great gem with an amazing Happy Hour for $4 for Bud Light Draft and $5 for everything else. OMG definitely bookmark this spot and we will be back soon =)

Went here last night for appetizers and drinks. The sports bar vibe was on point but was disappointed that they were out of a lot of their bourbon that was listed on their menu and the drinks my wife had were weak. The wings were OK nothing to write home about but really enjoyed the onion rings.
