| Where Can I Watch Premier League Soccer In Nyc |
The Holy Grail of Soccer Pubs
Let's start with the obvious: the pubs. New York has a surprising number of soccer-obsessed watering holes, each with its own unique charm (and beer selection).
 |
- Smithfield Hall: This place is like a pilgrimage site for Manchester United fans. But fear not, supporters of other teams, they show pretty much every game. Just don't expect too many high-fives if you're rooting against the Red Devils.
- The Black Horse Pub: A classic Irish pub with a strong soccer following. Expect plenty of banter, pints of Guinness, and the occasional chant.
- Berry Park: This Williamsburg gem offers a rooftop view, perfect for soaking up the sun while watching your team. Just don't forget your sunglasses.
Beyond the Pub Scene
If you're looking for something a bit different, there are other options.
- Sports Bars: While they might lean more towards American sports, many sports bars in NYC have multiple screens and are happy to accommodate soccer fans. Just be prepared to explain the offside rule to your fellow patrons.
- Restaurants with TVs: Some restaurants, particularly those with a British or Irish theme, will show Premier League games. It's a great way to combine your love of football with a decent meal.
Tips for the Ultimate Matchday Experience
- Get there early: Especially for big games. Good seats (or standing room) are at a premium.
- Embrace the atmosphere: Part of the fun of watching soccer in a pub is the camaraderie. So, get involved!
- Learn the chants: Even if you don't know the words, joining in on a chant can add to the experience. Just don't mess up the lyrics.
How to...
- How to find a pub showing your team's game? Use online resources like Premier League's official bar finder or check social media for local pub listings.
