7 E 36th St | Midtown

With 30+ TVs and projector screens, 5th & Mad is made for March Madness. They’ll be showing every game, and it’s also a known Ohio State Buckeyes bar, so expect a little extra noise if they’re on. OH-
308 Bedford Ave | Williamsburg
Catch all the March Madness action at Blazers, where the games are on and the crowd is fully locked in. Plus, it’s women-owned and a cool spot to keep in rotation year-round, especially with WNBA season coming up.
506 9th Ave | Hudson Yards
Catch every game live at D.B. Cooper’s. With screens in every section of the bar and bites and booze galore, you won’t have to move a muscle to catch every buzzer-beater. Plus, it’s right near Penn if you’re meeting up with your commuting college buddies.
145 E Houston | Bowery
30 rotating local and international beers on tap, a deep whiskey selection, plus cocktails, wine, and all the bar food you could ask for. 10 big screens on top of that? You’re set!
2153 Frederick Douglass Blvd | Harlem

With 16 TVs and not a bad seat in the house, Harlem Tavern is a go-to for game day with laid-back neighborhood vibes. Plus, they’ve got an outdoor patio perfect for when the competition (and weather) starts heating up.
45-58 Vernon Blvd | LIC
This classic neighborhood gem has old-school vibes, solid drinks, and every game playing from Selection Sunday through the championship. Plus, their outdoor garden is worth keeping in mind for the warmer days.
39 5th Ave | Park Slope
Right off Atlantic Ave near Barclays, McMahon’s is showing every game for March Madness, with 25 beers on draft to keep things interesting. Fuel up and settle in for a watch party with friends.
45-01 23rd Ave | Astoria
Obviously, Murphy’s has it going on this season. They’ve got every game on big screens throughout the space, making it a one-stop shop for sports, beers, and bites. Plus, with high ceilings and plenty of room, you won’t feel cramped with the crew.
352 7th Ave | Chelsea

An obvious choice for just about any sports game, this spot has two floors, tons of seating, plenty of screens, and a location near Penn Station that makes it especially easy for commuters.
2224 Frederick Douglass Blvd | Harlem
The Fox is a sneaky good spot for tournament viewing. You can book tables for every game from the First Four to the Elite Eight, and they take their happy hour deals just as seriously as the sports.
192 3rd Ave | Gramercy
A classic Irish sports bar with 19 TVs, Triona’s is a go-to for Michigan fans and a solid pick for March Madness. They pour a mean Guinness and offer great happy hour deals throughout the week.
975 2nd Ave | Turtle Bay
Not only are they home to a killer burger, but they’ve also got plenty of tables, bar seats, and TVs to keep you locked into every game.
70 University Pl | Greenwich Village

A longtime Indiana (IU) bar, so expect Hoosiers fans to show up loud when it counts. Still a great spot to catch every game, with a packed room and solid beer selection.
33-15 Ditmars Blvd | Steinway
Reserve a seat at Rivercrest for the ultimate watch party with friends. They’ve got buckets of Coronas, Suncruisers, and more for the table, plus solid apps like their Bavarian pretzel.
225 N 8th St | Williamsburg
With loaded tots on the menu and big screens on every wall, Roebling is a great March Madness hub. They’ll be playing all the games, but beware of the Gators! This is a big spot for Florida (UF) fans.
149 Bleecker St | Greenwich Village
Stop by Wicked Willy’s if you’re looking for a place that’s equal parts fun, food, and sports. Marg pitchers, wing specials, and college basketball are all on the bill this month.
