Where to see Premiership in New York

Cerdito

Can anyone recommend any bars that show Premiership footy in New York? Also, is it true that you have to pay a cover charge to see some of the games?

Most of them show games and they all have cover charge, the bars are empty most of the time and sports is where people actually go in to them.
You can technically see every game on over there, live 3pm games inc:

Its 7$ on digital tv to watch them but ESPN2 and FOX Sports show the games kinda live,some are live but time difference makes them unwatchable if you have a job.
Trust me when you have no way of knowing a games score ,seeing a sunday game in full on a tuesday you will consider it live.

In NY city you can get sky digital some bars in Yonkers have it but have cover charges.

I can give you phone number of a bar owner over there who can point you in right direction.

thanks for the info Kdjac....

I'm actually only going to be there on holiday but my main concern is making sure I catch City in action agains Leeds on monday (how sad am I?!). Also the champions league footy is unmissable. These games all start around 3pm in NY, so I guess I'll just check out the sports bars. Anybody else know of any bars good for the football?

They the free channels FSW and ESPN2 so if it on there no cover charge if it on PPV which every 3pm game is the there a cover charge.

If you come out Port Authority take a left and about 2 streets down on your right (you will notice a very stange car park where cars are parked on top of each other) there is a bar called James O Connor ,always very full for anything with a ball in it. Thats a good spot for sport but get to the Bronx and a bar called Gallaghers they will have every game available taped or live (its 7 in food is good there ) on same street is 5 or 6 bars with umm plastic paddies ,wear an Eircom League jersey really confuse them. If you find WC o Farrels and see a red St Pats jersey tis mine and blonde haired girl propping up bar is my sister

Oh dont buy anything in City it less than half the price just outside in place called Woodbury Commons
