The Irish Exit, sister bar to the beloved The Dead Rabbit, is located inside Moynihan Train Hall – ideal for anyone coming into the city to catch a game or watch nearby. Visitors can swing by post-game or on their way home to enjoy a late-night happy hour (Monday–Friday, 10–11 p.m.) and toast the Knicks with Passionately Late, an orange-hued Cosmo riff made with Grey Goose Vodka, Aperol, passion fruit, cranberry, lemon, and cacao.

At Dear Irving on Hudson, a quick 10 minute walk from MSG, guests can celebrate at their upscale, rooftop bar, celebrating NYC with skyline views and a drink from the menu’s Empire State of Mind section, which features drinks made with spirits brands proudly made in NY. Fans can opt for the Sapphire Hour, a blue cocktail made with ALB Vodka, Conquilla Cava, St. Germain Elderflower, Giffard Blue Curacao, Luxardo Bitter Bianco, Italicus Bergamot, and lime.

Together, the drinks rep the Knicks’ signature orange and blue – perfect for sipping while rooting for the home team.
