Pretty nice sports bar right in the heart of Murray Hill. As a head's up, this place is deceivingly huge! They have multiple floors - the first floor has a bar immediately when you walk in, and then you can go up a small flight of stairs to an upstairs/balcony section with another bar and they have some tables, and then you go through a door to their outdoor covered deck, which has another bar and a lot of tables. The only downside on the deck is that there are only two TVs, so if you're coming to watch a game, you'll have to come early or wait to get a table that has a good view of one of the TVs. However, I tend to enjoy any sort of outdoor space in NYC where you can eat/drink.
Overall, the place is decent - probably higher on my list of sports bars in the area. They have beer specials and pretty much have anything and everything you could want, drinkwise, and their food is decent. My friend and I came here one night to watch football, and we ordered the nachos and I got a garden veggie burger, but served on their normal bun (their menu has the veggie burger in a pita). The food was pretty good for bar food and for some reason, I think nachos at bars are one of the greatest things ever. Their nachos didn't disappoint - loaded with cheese, salsa, beans, veggies, sour cream, and guac. Perfect amount to clog my arteries.
The burger was pretty good and it comes with waffle fries, which is always a nice substitute instead of traditional fries. I definitely pigged out and didn't get anything healthy, so that's probably another reason why it all tasted good.
Also, it always seems to be packed with people, which is a good sign. People come for happy hour, dinner, corporate parties, etc. so it's usually packed.
