Not every matchday ends at the stadium, but that doesn’t mean you have to miss the feeling. Across New York City, a growing group of bars has joined the Brooklyn FC partner program, committing to screen every match and give supporters a place to gather, watch and react in real time.
We’re honored to have Brooklyn FC become part of the weekly rhythm at these community spots. Whether you’re down the block or across the borough, these are the places to stay connected to the club when you can’t make it to Maimonides Park.
1. Kitty Kiernans (Bay Ridge)
Kitty Kiernans is a long-running Irish pub in Bay Ridge, founded in the mid-1990s by Dublin native James Keenaghan. It carries a classic neighborhood feel, with an “old school Brooklyn and Irish charm” that comes through in both the space and the crowd.
The bar leans into a simple, no-frills identity built around conversation, Guinness and a strong local presence. As part of the Brooklyn FC partner program, it offers a natural setting for matchday viewing — sports-friendly, community-oriented and rooted in the neighborhood.
For supporters who want a straightforward, authentic place to watch the game alongside a truly local Brooklyn crowd, Kitty Kiernan’s delivers exactly that.

The space is designed for groups, with plenty of room to gather and a TV setup that makes it easy to follow the match while still taking in the buzz of the boardwalk.

4. Fulton Hall (Fort Greene)
Fulton Hall sits at the edge of Fort Greene and Downtown Brooklyn, and it leans fully into its identity as a beer hall built for sports. The space is large, open and designed to handle a crowd, with a mix of beer, cocktails and a full food menu that makes it just as suitable for a full night out as it is for a quick stop-in.
There’s a clear emphasis on gathering here. Locals often point to how well the bar handles events and groups, and that translates naturally to matchdays, where the energy builds as more people filter in. Even outside of sports, it’s described as “chill, delicious and fun,” which says a lot about its ability to appeal to a wide range of fans.

5. Threes Brewing (Gowanus)
Threes Brewing’s Gowanus location starts from a different place entirely: it’s a brewery first, with soccer layered into an already strong social scene. Known for its “wonderful brews” and easygoing atmosphere, it’s the kind of place where people come to spend a full afternoon or evening, especially when the weather opens up the outdoor space.
It’s less about packed-in watch parties and more about having room to breathe — groups of friends catching the match over good beer, moving between indoor and outdoor spaces and treating the game as part of a broader hang. That makes it one of the more flexible viewing environments on the list, especially for fans who want something a little more relaxed without losing the communal feel.

The atmosphere here is relaxed and polished, with the focus on quality beer and a comfortable place to spend time. It’s not built around chants and packed crowds, but that’s part of the appeal. For Brooklyn FC matchdays, it offers a more low-key viewing experience, one where the game is on, the drinks are dialed in and the crowd feels easygoing rather than intense.

7. Highbury Pub (Kensington)
Highbury Pub is about as close as it gets to a traditional English neighborhood bar in Brooklyn. Small, intimate and full of character, it has the kind of English pub charm that regulars describe with affection, along with a reputation as one of the best bars in the neighborhood.
It’s the kind of place where the atmosphere doesn’t need to be manufactured. The space is tight, the crowd is loyal and the focus naturally settles on the match when it’s on. Long hours make it especially useful for early kickoffs or lingering after the final whistle, and the overall feel is less about spectacle and more about settling in for a proper watch.

Beer Garage brings a more playful take to the neighborhood sports bar. Modeled after an auto garage, the space mixes vintage decor with multiple TVs, darts, games and even a beer garden, giving it a little more personality than your typical watch spot.
It’s still grounded in what matters on matchday. The screens are easy to follow, the staff is known for being friendly, and the food holds its own, with reviewers calling it a Park Slope gem. One notable difference is its 100% gluten-free focus, which makes it a more accessible option than most bars in the category. Still, you don’t have to be gluten-free to enjoy the incredible food and vibes at this neighborhood favorite.

11. Soccer Tavern (Sunset Park)
Soccer Tavern doesn’t need to try to be a soccer bar. It already is one. With roots tracing back to the Prohibition era and a history tied to the early 20th century, this Sunset Park staple carries decades of soccer culture in its walls.
The setting is low-key and lived-in, shaped as much by the neighborhood as by the game itself. Located along 8th Avenue, it reflects the area’s layered history and diverse community, and that comes through in the crowd on any given matchday. Reviews highlight its friendly feel and simple strengths — including the kind of Guinness you come back for — and that straightforward approach is exactly what makes it work.

Berry Park is one of the bigger, more energetic options on the list, known for its rooftop views and lively atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where the match is part of a broader night out, with a crowd that spills between the downstairs bar and the open-air rooftop overlooking the Manhattan skyline.
The vibe leans social and high-energy, with DJs, group gatherings and a steady flow of people throughout the night. German and Belgian beers anchor the drink list, and the space itself is built to handle volume. For Brooklyn FC matchdays, that translates into a watch experience that feels more like an event. It’s the perfect place to be when you want to be part of a larger crowd.

The setup is intentional, from the drink menu to the overall design of the viewing experience. It feels curated without being exclusive, offering a fresh alternative to more traditional sports bars.
