On their website, they claim to be the best sports bar in Brooklyn. NY magazine is inclined to agree. However, I haven't visited any except for this one, I can't say that is definitively true, but it was a fun place to watch a game, east way too much food and drink way too much beer.
This was when our friends Erin and Chris were here and Chris wanted to see if his beloved Bears would make it to the superbowl. The Downstairs area was packed, but the upstairs was relatively empty. The Jets game was the next game up, so word to the wise. Want to see your favorite team, and it's local? Get to your bar 2 hours ahead, b/c it was jam packed for that late afternoon game, but still clear around 1pm.
Anyway, nice big screen tvs, good tables, some couches set up as well. The waitress was great. It started off with pitchers and nachos and other apps. As time goes on, wings to die for (amazing, really!) and yummy old bay fries. And as time is winding down for a Bears win, more beer and a cheese-steak for Chris. The only bad point was the cheese-steak was ill prepared, they barely put any meat on it. The waitress was flagged and she quickly made up the kitchen's mistake by giving him another, fully loaded this time cheese-steak sub. He could barely finish because duh we were all totally stuffed at this point. But we appreciated the effort.
So if I have the inclination to watch a game on a afternoon and not in my own home, I would come here gain, hands down. Great service, good food, great beer, good camaraderie. What more can anyone ask?
