Sports bar recommendations nyc west side?

[Stinger92860]

I will on the west side in the 60's at tip off time. Can anyone suggest a sports bar where the game will likely be on? There are quite a few games on at the same time, so a place with many TV's would likely be my best option.

Vaughan's has been great every night. Still time to get there.

Go to Blondie's on 79th/Amsterdam. I lived UWS for 15 years. Always watched March Madness there.

Yes on Blondie's, that would be my first choice, great wings.. it's kind of a B1G bar (at least for football) so there will be a lot of MSU fans there.

Up the block is Brother Jimmy's (Amsterdam b/w 80-81). It's an ACC bar, so you'll be dealing with those dooshbags

Bourbon Street is in the hood too (Amsterdam b/w 79-80)

Worse case, if your low 60,s Lincoln Park is kind of a dive sports bar. On 9th ave b/w 56-57 I believe).

Not a huge fan of VD, they do play sound upstairs though.

We were at Legends last night in midtown and had some of the upstairs lounge. It was solid.

33rd between 5th and 6th. Good food too, definitely not just a uconn bar though.

ESPN zone is gone

If you're near the Upper west side, definitely hit up Blondies.

Basically anything above Columbus circle though. Midtown/Times square sucks.
