Planning on watching the Jets pummel the Steelers but not sure where to go? Here's a some of the area's best spots:
Prospect Heights:
, 583 Vanderbilt Ave., 718-857-5777
Although Woodwork is officially a soccer bar, they will be showing the Jets-Steelers game “with gusto,” according to one bartender. In honor of the game there will be $4 shots of Dirty Sanchez and $15 beer buckets.
, 603 Vanderbilt Ave. 718-484-8704
The game will be showing on three screens at this Western-themed bar known for its extensive selection of beer. Plus, where else can you watch the Jets take on the Steelers while munching on fried green tomatoes? .
, 234 Underhill Ave., 718-399-6680
This cozy and friendly bar will showing the game on two screens and will have a number of specialties in honor of the game including vegetarian and non-vegetarian chili, Bratwurst and two kinds of Sauerkraut (for the earlier Cubs game) and, of course, wings. There will also be Bud for $3 a pint.
, 638 Bergen St., 718-399-6855
At beast you can enjoy the game along with an upscale menu. The game will be shown on a large screen, and there will be $4 draft beers and possibly some even cheaper option, a staffer said.
, 629 Vanderbilt Ave, 718-230-8393
Here you can have $3 beers, perogies and beer battered onion rings with your game, which they will be showing on one screen.
Beyond:
, 200 5th Ave., 718-638-2925
With over 70 TVs and 40 beers on tap, Fifth Avenue’s 200 Fifth is like the Disneyland of sports bars. But if you plan on actually grabbing a seat for the game, best get there early — this place fills up quick.
, 80 Lafayette Ave. at S. Portland Avenue. (718) 797-9536
This bar is your best bet when it comes to sports in Fort Greene. Eight TVs will display Mark Sanchez in all of his maddening glory. The projection TV in the back is so big that you’ll feel like you can literally reach out and touch Rex Ryan’s wattle. There aren’t any specials going down at Mullane's during the games, but the place has a full menu of bar food. The manager, Todd Sample, says you better get there early. “We’re full to capacity by halftime, we have to turn people away!” he said.
Moe’s, 660 Fulton St. between Fort Greene and S. Elliot places, (718) 625-9339
If huge crowds aren’t your thing but cheap drinks are, then try Moe’s, which is right down the road from Mullane’s. The bar will have one projection screen set up, and a killer happy hour will go until 7:30 p.m. Here are the bargains: two for one draft beers, $6 frozen margaritas and $1 off of well drinks. Not bad at all. But look out for those Bears and Packers fans at around 6 p.m., they’re going to be pretty rowdy by then considering those deals.
