The Three Monkeys.

Worth it, says Antonina. Despite being a Patriots’ home bar (boo!), the friendly vibe cements The Three Monkeys as one of NYC’s best sports bars.

Where The Three Monkeys appears on New York Dearest

It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.

Worth it
  • Address236 W 54th St, New York, NY 10019
  • From my guide, updated January 2024.

The Three Monkeys secures its spot on our list thanks to its standout dish, sliders. With beef, buffalo chicken, and brisket options, each slider is a flavorful, must-try delight that’ll have you planning a return visit before leaving your seat.

The bar, equipped with plenty of TVs, keeps you updated on major sporting events. While game days draw locals, getting a table is usually painless (good news since The Three Monkeys doesn’t take reservations). With two floors and a patio, the seating area remains spacious.

Boasting over 30 brews on tap, it’s an ideal spot to enjoy a game with ample fuel. Despite being a Patriots’ home bar (boo!), the friendly vibe cements The Three Monkeys as one of NYC’s best sports bars.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
