Smithfield Hall NYC: The Ultimate Sports Bar Experience in NYC

We were staying at a hotel down the street and decided just to walk and see what kind of restaurants we could find. We stumbled upon this place because of how cute the outside seating was. The menu is a lot of bar food but very good bar food! We ended up going again on another day we were in town.

Go catch the game here! It's a true football "soccer" pub. Has ton of tvs great food and drink. It's big and the staff are very nice. Our server Hannah was outstanding ! It does fill up quickly with locals so go early

A review on this place is a challenge. If you're going to have a few beers and watch the game in a loud atmosphere- you're in the right spot. Median age was prob under 30. Food was good, beers were good, service was good. Many long, shared tables - so if you're looking for a sports bar - this is it. If you're looking for a quiet dinner spot - this is not. But was fun to watch a game. One downside - beer selection was pretty generic - nothing really interesting

Been here a few times and enjoyed my experience each time. The staff is attentive, polite and friendly. It can get packed at times for big events but that should be expected even with how spacious it is. Expect your typical bar drinks with good bar food. I definitely recommend this spot and think you should give it a try. If your experience is not the best, then don't blame me : )

Super cute bar with ample seating. Went here for a happy hour and was pleasantly surprised by the attentive bartenders and speedy service. Would definitely recommend this place for large groups.

Found this spot down the block from my hotel.. Walked in and got seated asap.. Fast service.. Jammed pack during the lunch on a weekday due to the soccer match was on.. Plenty of tvs, fast service, full bar and plenty of space.. Food was good, nothing too special just something quick and lite to eat before I got on my flight.

A bit pricey, good Wait staff. Very attentive to the guests. The kitchen was a little open pretty late and we had no problems getting food at 11:30 PM. Very loud, not a good place to have soft conversation with a friend. Younger crowd for sure.

Smithfield Hall is conveniently right around the corner from me so I decided to check it out for the first Patriots game of the NFL Season, which happened to be on at the same time as the US Open Men's Finals that my friend wanted to watch. I was told at the door that there were two "sides" inside and if we wanted to be able to watch both things at once, our best bet would be outside. They have TVs facing out so that you can see them from the outdoor tables. The ambiance and vibe inside and outside were completely different. Outside it was pretty chill while inside it was rowdy, crowded and loud. I was happy to be seated outside, even though it was a bit less lively. The die hard people seemed to be indoors if not for the reason there was no way to hear sound for the TVs outside (I put the game on my phone and put one airpod in to hear the sound). Outside there are maybe 6 (covered) picnic tables in street and 4 high tops on the sidewalk. You conveniently order and pay for all food and drinks via a QR code. Initially I grabbed an open picnic table but the TVs are "owned" by the table in front of them and we could only call dibs on what would be shown on one TV. Kevin was awesome and directed us to a high top that had two TV's right in front of it so that we could call dibs on so that we could watch both the US Open and the Patriots Game. They have a lot of game day specials and prices are very reasonable. There's a big beer menu as well as cocktails, wine, etc. I opted for a topo chico with tequila (upgraded to patron) and had the chicken panini. The fries were excellent and I ate all of them despite my intent not to. The panini came on a pita like bread which was great because it wasn't too bready. I was very happy and pleasantly surprised how good the food was. I'm a fan! Tip: Bring bugspray if you sit outside because I was eaten alive.
