"Smithfield Hall is one of the best soccer bars in New York City. You can happily come to this huge spot in Chelsea wearing the Liverpool or Barcelona scarf you got during your last trip across the pond, but it’s also where you should go to watch a Dutch league match at 9am with crowds of people talking about the most promising prospects in the Ajax youth academy. There are a ton of TVs, and if you contact them ahead of time, they’ll almost always put whatever match you want to watch on at least one of them." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim
"Our favorite soccer bar in the city, Smithfield Hall in Chelsea has reopened with eight outdoor tables that are available daily from 11am-11pm. Each table has a view of a TV, and you can make a reservation for groups of six or more by emailing hello@smithfieldnyc.com." - matt tervooren
"Smithfield Hall is already a popular destination for soccer fans, so it's no surprise that this bar in Chelsea will be showing a bunch of World Cup matches. The space is huge, there are TVs everywhere, and the menu consists of hall-of-fame sports-watching snacks like tots, bratwurst, and wings. You'll have no trouble finding someone here who can explain what a yellow card is." - kenny yang
"Grub Street once called this the absolute best soccer bar in NYC, and it’s easy to see why. An ample drinks menu, food that’s deeply satisfying, and football, football, football…just endless football. If you like the game at all, you probably already know to check here, and to make reservations during big match broadcasts (or just teams with big fan bases), when seating and server attention become as competitive as what’s on the screen. Select games will be screened as time and interest prompt them, so if you’ve got a wish to lock in, don’t be shy about letting them know you want to roll up with the crew. After that, there’s nothing to do but tour the world through burger and salad variations that lean hard into Asia on Smithfield’s menu…though Britons seem to really love the battered cod even while Americans praise the wings." - Brendan McGinley
"Reservations are available for select games; indoor and outdoor seating is available. Look for lunch and dinner specials; Irish and American brunches are served on weekends." - Melissa McCart
