“Sports bar” often brings to mind rowdy crowds, poorly made drinks and an atmosphere that’s, well, less than desirable. But at J.Bespoke, an intimate Manhattan speakeasy in NoMad, fans can cheer on their teams in a sophisticated atmosphere with expertly crafted cocktails.

During major matchups year-round, J.Bespoke broadcasts the game on surrounding monitors, offering clear views whether guests are seated at the cozy bar tables, the bar itself or the plush banquette. Now, guests can sip signature cocktails like the Call Me Bell (Pierde Almas Mezcal, fresh lemon juice, orange bell pepper, basil) or an Irish Old Fashioned (pecan wood–aged Bushmills 10 Year Irish Whiskey, cherry + peach bitters, maple) without missing a single play.

J.Bespoke is traditionally closed on Sundays but will be open for the Super Bowl from 5 p.m. to midnight.

With the Big Game just days away, plans are already well underway to figure out the best ways to watch to tune into the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 12th. Whether you’re watching for the thrill of the action, the much talked about commercials or Rhianna’s first televised live performance in years (where fingers crossed she’ll be debuting new music) – this is one of the first must-watch events of 2023.

To celebrate, Long Island City’s Gamehaus (5-14 51st Ave) Sports Bar, Arcade and Beer Hall is planning a blowout festivities for both the most devoted sports watchers, or for people looking for their own night of play. Revelers can catch all of the action one of more than a dozen large screen TVs alongside its 11-foot tall LED video wall for the ultimate sports watching experience. A menu of more than 20 different beers, wings and burgers is being offered. Beer is being sold by the bucket and pitcher.
