Polished neighborhood bar with stylish decor, patio, and great food
"Because of a fire at a laundromat on Manhattan Avenue earlier this week, this next‑door Greenpoint sports bar is temporarily closed due to damage. Co‑owners Noah Goldman and Vinny Milburn (a fish buyer for Greenpoint Fish and Lobster) opened the bar in April." - Nadia Chaudhury
"There are sports bars, and then there are sports bars where you can order an orange pet-nat. That’s Rounders. This polished Greenpoint spot is essentially the opposite of a dive, with stylish dark wood accents and comfy barstools with backs. But the best thing about Rounders is the covered patio out back, with a massive screen of its own. Second-best is the menu of fancified bar food, like crunchy, pesto-striped pepperoni pizza wontons, or a wonderfully moist and garlicky chicken milanese sandwich. The third-best thing is the NBA Jam machine." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim
"A new Greenpoint sports bar opened April 10 by co-owners Noah Goldman and Vinny Milburn (a fish buyer for Greenpoint Fish and Lobster) in the former Esme space, offering beers, games, and bar food like chicken wings." - Emma Orlow
"Rounders, from the Greenpoint Fish and Lobster folks, is a sports bar in Greenpoint that looks like it has the potential to be North Brooklyn’s answer to Rocco’s. The zhuzhed-up bar food is from someone who used to work at Cozy Royale, and includes things like black garlic caesar, tuna melt croquettes, and wings. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Will Hartman
"The shuttered Greenpoint restaurant Esme (which opened in 2014 and closed in 2024) at 999 Manhattan Avenue near Huron Street is being converted into a new sports bar, tentatively opening Wednesday, March 12. Co-owners Noah Goldman and Greenpoint Fish and Lobster’s fish buyer Vinny Milburn are leading the project; Goldman recounts that he frequented Esme often but thought the neighborhood needed a sports bar. Expect beer offered tapped, by the glass, pitcher, or bucket, plus cocktails. Chef Matt Dickhaut, who had been cooking at Greenpoint Fish’s pop-up at Threes Brewing, will oversee a food menu including burgers, chicken wings, and sandwiches." - Nadia Chaudhury
