Standings

We went here on a recent visit to NYC with our 22 year old son and his friends to watch a football game on the tube. A VERY enjoyable experience. A sports bar without much in the way of eats, but plenty of brew and there are carry out places nearby for your food needs. We got a couple of pizzas and enjoyed them while watching the game. Pros: Several choices of COLD beer Cons: Limited food choices more

I'm in the process of relocating to the area, and was looking for something just a little bit off the beaten path, where I could enjoy a game from my hometown, and have a good beer at the same time. Pros: Cheap microbrews, excellent atmosphere, all around good place! Cons: No kitchen more

Dont go to Standings unless you like to hear the announcers on TV, hard to find microbrews at good prices (especially happy hour), the Mets, the Red Sox (though Yankee fans seem welcome), FREE PIZZA (Friday nights), FREE WINGS (Sunday & Monday Nights), or FREE BAGELS (Sat & Sun afternoon). Pros: Free Food, Great Beer Selection, Good Prices Cons: No kitchen, not enough female customers more

This place is great with lots of character and it really know its audience. It's no for everyone though...don't expect to go to Standings and hear hip hop in the background as you watch LeBron light up the Wizards. You'll actually HEAR the play by play. It's beer and sports - sports and beer (and some wine I think). Pretty good beer at that too - lots of stuff I never heard of but it was pretty tasty. Nice, laidback place to hang with your buds...will definitely be back soon. Pros: Friendly, Free Food Cons: Red Sox fans more

Abhor a ""clean finish?"" Sorry to spoil the party for the Miller and Bud crowd, but having a beer with a clean finish (and a measly 3.2% ABV) is like watching a boring game. Fortunately, neither of these nightmares are features of this bar. Team getting blown out? They have the full sports package: no joke, I've seen high school cross country running - they have EVERYthing. Not sure what to get? It won't matter. The 12 taps of gourmet European and American microbrew beers (which I've seen get to 18% ABV - to do that kind of damage, think six Millers simultaneously, but without the letdown) rarely disappoint, not to mention a bottle list worthy of a Pulitzer. Gregarious, managably sized crowd, very friendly and accomodating staff, amazing beer, free food for many big games - Highly Recommended (meaning don't tell anyone!) Pros: great staff, AWESOME beer, relatively uncrowded more

Standings is great: totally New York, and unpretentious. The ever-changing beer list contains many brews from rising local breweries and never disappoints. Highly recommended for sports snobs, beer people and everyone else. Pros: Great staff, obscure, tasty beers, fun atmosphere more

The 5 screens at Standings show all the games via Satellite, so if your team is on the other side of the country-- they have it. It's a cozy place, but never too crowded to change a screen to whatever my friends and I want to watch. Standings even hosts alumni groups for games. The 72-ounce mega pitchers (4.5pints) are a bargain at $22--not tasteless mass-produced beers, but handcrafted (and strong) microbrews. The bottle list boasts the best of what domestic microbrews offer, and a few wines. It changes all the time, so go in to check out the week's selection. The people are cool, bartenders are awesome, and friendly regulars converse on beer and sports. At Standings, the best of beer meets the best of sports in a non-pretentious bar that feels like your neighborhood pub (not those loathesome frat-boy sports bars we've all learned to watch games in). Pros: Awesome Beer, Many Sports Packages, Great Bartenders more

Standings is a fantastic place to watch sports. The space is well laid out, so it never feels too crowded or loud. Plenty of screens for NFL Sunday Ticket addicts, and plenty of variety at the bar. While the beer selection is great, $24 for a pitcher is pretty stiff. But for the great atmosphere and abundance of screens, it's worth it. Pros: beer selection, nfl sunday ticket, laid back crowd Cons: pricey beer more

This is the best place in New York to watch college sports! I went to Gonzaga in Spokane, Washington and Standings makes myself and fellows GU grads feel right at home always showing their games on satellite in a fun, spirited environment with FANTASTIC microbrews and occasional free pizza for my alumni group. It's a college basketball's fan's dreamspace (just watch out for the U of A fans who think they own the place...) Pros: Beer Choice, T.V.'s, Sports packages more

Love this bar for after work. The selection changes frequently- I can always try something new. I really like the special events like Oktoberfest and the free food at the bar. I can watch the Jets lose on nice flat screen tvs AND they have pitchers of good beer, which a lot of bars don't have. It's a great place to catch the game or just for happy hour. Pros: beer selection, happy hour, pitchers more

This is my new favorite bar!! We came for the beer and stayed for the games and great bartenders!! Every week there is a different theme night (New Hampshire Beer, Oktoberfest, Pennsylvania Beer) with great deals and fun prizes. If you are looking for a good beer, great service, and fun place to hang out and watch the game...this is the place!!!! Pros: Beer Selections, Inexpensive, Great Bartenders more

We wanted to find a good NYC bar to drink beer and watch multiple games on flat screen tvs. Standings was perfect! The service was friendly, the clientelle fun to be with and a great atmosphere. Pros: laidback, not crowded, flat screens more

This place rocks...it's like being in your own livingroom kicking back with a good microbrew and watching the Eagles paste the Giants!! Was there on a recent Sunday watching 5 different games and drinking Dogfish 60 Minute IPA...came back later for the Sunday night game and the bartender started passing out free buffalo wings... Pros: Beer Choice, Great TV's more

Just discovered this little gem down on Seventh Street. Really good beer selection, nice bartender, and five awesome tvs to watch games. Was there Tuesday night and had some Dogfish Head, Six Point, and Victory. Another great beer bar in the tradition of the Blind Tiger and DBA--and games too. Pros: good service, great selection Cons: bad parking more
