I have a hard time putting The Junction into a category, is it a pub? A sports bar? A cantina? Then I remember the drinks are served cold and strong and I think, who cares!
For fast and friendly service while catching the next game, The Junction stands out as one of the best sports bars in NYC. It’s an ideal spot for newcomers to the sports scene, offering a welcoming environment where you can enjoy various games on multiple screens.
Time seems to fly as you engage in banter with the neighboring tables. While the sports draw you in, it’s the helpful staff, laid-back atmosphere, and fantastic drinks that ensure The Junction secures its place on our list of the best sports bars in NYC.
I have a hard time putting The Junction into a category, is it a pub? A sports bar? A cantina? Then I remember the drinks are served cold and strong and I think, who cares! The first non-Mexican restaurant to crack the list of best margaritas in NYC, The Junction offers a steal of a deal.
They have a generous happy hour (from 11AM to 7PM, daily) that has $4 off cocktails, including the margarita. The margarita comes out swinging, with the first sip you can’t help but relax your shoulders and crack a smile (do I sound like I have a problem?). Plus, for an extra dollar you can make it a coconut margarita, which I always do.
