Best Sports Bars in Westchester

Sports bars

…  a haven where camaraderie meets rivalry, and where the beer flows as freely as the banter. Now, as a self-proclaimed connoisseur of game day haunts, I’ve embarked on a spirited journey across Westchester, NY to bring you the crème de la crème of sports bars. Whether you bleed blue for the Giants or have a soft spot for the Yankees, Rangers, Mets, Knicks, Liberty, Nets… the list goes on… there’s a stool waiting for you at these fine establishments. Westchester has some of the most passionate sports fans in the country, but every locale says that.  They have no clue. If you’re looking for the best place to watch the Rangers, Giants, Yankees, Nets, Liberty, Jets, Knicks, Islanders, Devils, Mets or whatever soccer games are on, try one of these.

What makes for the best “Sports Bar?”

Now, anyone can slap a few screens on the wall and call it a sports bar, but the truly exceptional ones? They have a little extra magic. Here’s my take on what sets the greats apart from the mere mortals:

  • The Sports Spectrum: A stellar sports bar doesn’t discriminate—whether it’s football, baseball, basketball, hockey, golf, tennis, or soccer, they’ve got it all in high-definition glory.
  • Game Day Grub and Grog: Ah, the irresistible allure of game day specials. A cold beer, kick-ass wings, and a menu that goes beyond the deep-fried norm.
  • Bet Your Boots: A little friendly wagering always ups the ante. Whether it’s pools or bag-bets, a chance to prove your sports prowess (and maybe win a beer or two) is always a plus.
  • The Faithful: A bar’s crowd can make or break your viewing experience. A loyal, spirited crowd that’s there to cheer, jeer, and enjoy the game? Sign me up.
  • The Big Screen Bonanza: And, of course, a giant screen showcasing the game of the day. It’s like being at the stadium, minus the long lines and chilly winds.

My Rundown of Westchester’s Sports Bar Scene

I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve sipped, and I’ve munched my way through some of the best sports bars in Westchester County, NY. Check out my honest, no-holds-barred reviews of the places that scored a touchdown (Pipers Kilt), and those that fumbled on the 1-yard line(Buffalo Wild Wings). My quest for the perfect game day spot is a never-ending one, so stay tuned as I continue to explore what Westchester’s sports bar scene has to offer.

Oh and if you’re specifically looking for places to watch the Superbowl, <—-click that.
