Hey all — I just moved to Manhattan from Jersey and I'm trying to find a bar to watch the Liberty game this Friday. Back home I'd just watch at a friend's place, but I don't know anyone here yet. I'm looking for a spot that will actually put the sound on, not just have the game on a tiny screen in the corner. Ideally somewhere in Manhattan, not too bro-y, where I can grab a stool and a beer. Any recs? I'm near the 6 train but happy to travel.

Welcome. The Fast Break on 2nd Ave near 7th is solid for Liberty games — they actually turn the sound on if you ask the bartender, and it's not a frat scene. Avoid the big Midtown sports bars; they'll have the Yankees on the big screen and the Liberty on mute. Get there 20 min before tip and grab a spot at the bar.
