Where to watch the Ireland v France World Cup Qualifier in New York
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009Question: Heading to New York on the 17th November and we want to find a bar to watch the world cup qualifier between Ireland and France on the 18th November. Also the premiership football, Liverpool games if possible? Thanks so much in advance!
Answer: There are plenty of pubs or should I say bars in New York that will be showing the Ireland v France world cup qualifier matches as well as live premiership football and 6 Nations or Heineken Cup Rugby. The following Manhattan bars are great for atmosphere for the football and rugby matches. It is possible but unlikely…have a quick look on the bar’s website or call in advance from your hotel to see if they have a cover charge (usually $20 if any) for the games.
- The Red Lion Pub in Greenwich/West Village: 151 Bleecker St at Thompson St, New York Phone: 212-260-9797 ($20 cover)
- O’Briens Irish Pub & Grill - Home of the North America Munster Rugby Supporters Club: 134 West 46th St, New York Phone: 212-391-1516
- The Kinsale Tavern: 1672 3rd Ave btw 93rd & 94th St (Upper East side) Phone: 212-348-4370
- McCormack’s Pub: 365 3rd Ave at 26th St Phone: 212-683-0911
- Tonic East: 411 3rd Ave at 29th St Phone: 212-683-7090
Fingers crossed we make it through!
C’mon you boys in green!
