Best Sports Bars in New York

New Yorkers love their sports bars and the number of them has been steadily on the rise recently, boosted by the rising popularity of flat screen TVs. Some of the sports listed below base their entire brand identity on the theme of sports, such Mickey Mantle's Restaurant, while others are fairly conventional bars that happen have enough flat screen TVs and sports fans stopping in for drinks that they are categorized as sports bars not by intention but almost by default. Keep in mind, depending on which one you go to, some of these sports bars have a specific fan base of loyal followers of a particular professional team— not everyone in New York is a Yankee fan.
