Sox Bars

Here is a great site for finding Sox bars in cities/states outside of New England, compiled by the Sons of Sam Horn (SoSH)...

From that site, this is the New York City section:

Brooklyn

Cody's

• Address: 154 Court St. (at Pacific St.), Cobble Hill, Brooklyn (Take 2,3,4 to Boro Hall; R to Court St., A,C to Jay St., F to Bergen St.
• Phone Number: (718) 852-6115
• Comments: Not a Red Sox bar strictly speaking, but they have EI and a dozen TV's and the Sox game is usually playing (and they will put it on upon request if it isn't.) Also has NFL satellite package. No-frills sports bar, nothing fancy.

200 5th

• Address: 200 5th Avenue, Park Slope, BK
• Website: http://www.200-fifth.com/
• Phone Number
• Comments: A general-purpose sports bar with a borderline-ridiculous amount of TVs. Very parochial and fairly meaty during football season. However, after Lighthouse Tavern closed during the '08/'09 offseason, its Sox-friendly bartender (Seamus) migrated here and Sox games are featured whenever he is working. Upwards of a dozen beers on tap, and legit food available as well. Remains to be seen how the place will shake out during Sox-NYY series, but a viable option in general.

Manhattan

Brady's Bar & Grill

• Address: 1583 2nd Ave (at E. 82nd St.) (Take 4,5,6 to 86th and Lexington)
• Website: http://www.bradysbar.com
• Phone Number: (212) 650-0567
• Comments: Not a Sox bar, but it's a favorite Upper East Side spot for Mets fans (including the owner) and old-school rooters of the Giants & Dodgers. As such, they welcome Yankee haters with open arms. The place dates back to the early 1900's when it was known as McGrath's. It's been in the Brady family since 1961, when Dan Sr. took ownership 5 years after immigrating from Ireland. Dan Brady Jr. has run it since 1991, and he's added six wide-screen TV's, the MLB package, and a jukebox. They're also serious about their dart games here (NYDO tourney play on Mon/Tue nites), and there's a billiard room out back.

The Hairy Monk

• Address: 337 3rd Avenue (at 25th St.) (Take 6,N,R to 23rd St.)
• Website: http://www.thehairymonknyc.com
• Phone Number: (212) 532-2929
• Comments: A Red Sox-Friendly pub in Gramercy. Pros: Red Sox games always on one of the numerous televisions, large contingent of Sox fans (including bartenders), good beer & food selection, Theo Epstein has stopped by for a turn behind the bar. Cons: Jimmy Fallon lives in the neighborhood, and will pop in on occasion.

Pat O'Brien's

• Address: 1701 2nd Avenue (at 88th Street) (Take 4,5,6 to 86th Street)
• Website:
• Phone number: (212) 410-2013
• Comments: They have a rather large sign in the window stating that they show all Red Sox games. The sign was put up during the pre-season DirecTV/MLB vs. Cable and Dish Network controversy and it's still there. They also have a sign announcing that they also show all Patriots' games.

Professor Thom's

• Address: 219 Second Avenue (between 13th and 14th St) (Take 1,9,A,C,E,N,R,4,5,6 to Union Square. L to First Avenue)
• Website: http://www.professorthoms.com/
• Phone Number: (212) 260-9480
• Comments: This is the best Red Sox bar in NYC. Ex-Riviera bartender Jim Maguire, and others, opened and run it.

***(I concur...Thom's is the best. It is the HQ for the New York Chapter of Red Sox Nation, one of the bar's founders is the NY Governor. I am a member of his cabinet, as his Fashion Police Chief.)

Riviera

• Address: 225 W 4th St (off Seventh Avenue) (Take 1,9 to Christopher St. or A,C,E,B,D,F,V to W 4th St.)
• Website: http://rivieracafe.citysearch.com/
• Phone Number: (212) 929-3250
• Comments: This is where you may find New York City SoSH members (go downstairs). Great place for Patriot games as well. Fills up early for big games, try Kettle of Fish across the square if you can't get in.

Standings

• Address: 43 E 7th St(between 2nd Ave & Taras Shevchenko Pl)(Take the 6 to Astor Place or R/W to 8th St/NYU)
• Website: http://www.standingsbar.com/
• Phone Number: (212) 420-0671
• Comments: There is a 2007 World Series banner hanging above a window, and a declaration on a bathroom wall that'JESUS HATES YANKEE FANS'. There is also quite a bit of BU stuff on the walls. It's a tiny bar, built in 1886, but you can actually fit a lot of people in here easily. They have TVs all over the place, and a number of quality beers if you're looking for something besides Bud Light. It's on the same block as McSorley's, and there are a number of bars in the immediate area that are great to hit up after the game ends.

And to that list, I would add:

Mullanes

• 71 Lafayette Ave
• Brooklyn, NY
• 718-797-7606
• www.mullanesbrooklyn.com
• Not necessarily a Sox bar...but definitely Sox friendly. Bartenders will put on any game you ask for...and the Fort Greene neighborhood (I live there) has a sizable Sox fan presence.

But definitely check the link at the top of this post for the entire list (Sox bars nationwide)...always good to have when on the road!

Anyone know of any others? Or how about other bars nationwide that are for rival fans (i.e. Dodgers bars in SF, Lakers bars in Boston, Hatfield bars on the McCoy compound...you get the idea.)

Let us know...
