The best sports bars in New York City by David Perry on Nov 13, 2015, 2:00 PM Advertisement
 New York is never short of professional sports team to watch on TV, with more professional sports teams than any other city. So if you’re in New York this weekend, you like sports and you have a few hours to kill, here are five sports-geared watering holes in NYC worth visiting.

The whole point with our DJs and our staff, even the decorations, is to have a really good, fun, relaxed time.” Straddling the vibrant Gramercy and Union Square neighborhoods in Manhattan and still managing to be entirely unpretentious, The Royal splays the good cheer across 2400 square feet. Patrons can pony up to the bar, camp out in a booth, lord over the crowd on high-top stools, or ring a table while enjoying the Super Bowl-ready finger-food — we recommend the Grilled Wings — whipped up by Executive Chef Daniel Parilla.
Grey Bar  This isn’t your dad’s old fashioned sports dive. Grey Bar has beautiful wood decor, sleek countertops and a long bar as you enter separated by an equally as long communal seating area and, in understated yet strategic fashion, a dozen flat-screen TVs. As for cuisine, Grey Bar features an adventurous array of bar food including shrimp-and-andouille thin-crust pizza, barley risotto and diver scallops. For lighter fare, order the the seared Ahi Tuna – sliced rare with sesame cucumber noodles, ginger soy vinaigrette and avocado.
Manhattan Proper  So what’s so great about this newest face in TriBeCa Manhattan Proper? “Oo! Well, I’ll start with our staff, first and foremost,” beams Star Putnik, the effervescent Sales and Events Coordinator. We have a great staff, and when you come here, it’s kind of like a ‘Cheers’ bar; you’ve got familiar faces, great drink specials, great food, great atmosphere. It’s just a really great place to hang out on a lazy Sunday and watch the game.” There’s a good chance the World Series or Super Bowl Sunday for that matter will be anything but “lazy,” and Putnik and Co. are more than ready. Of course, the five 70-inch flat screen TVs and the 80-incher in the back will probably go a long way in keeping the fans in their seats, but the locally-sourced menu, dashed with such trendy entries like Sriracha Shrimp and Truffle Burgers, is guaranteed to put even the most ardent fan into a contented food coma.
