This neighbourhood pub is a tad dingy and the patrons are hoarse from shouting at the TV screens but who cares? Grab a pint and ask the barkeep to flip the channels from everything to baseball, boxing and UK soccer matches. Live music on weekends; Wednesdays are trivia night.

 

Fashion-forward trendies at this South- Pacific-meets-techno retreat have to decide between the circular bar (always packed), the cube-shaped stools or the queen-sized beds covered in bordello red. Make your choice and unwind at this very happening spot.

 

Hang out with square-jawed preppies from the Marina district at this sports bar/meat market, where the 37 TVs and seven giant screens are only part of the action. Goodness knows the substantial beer selection helps lubricate the boy-meets- girl scene.

 

It’s all about the bubbly here as the name suggests and you’ll likely be chatted up by Financial District refugees ready to pop their cork. With over 300 bottles to choose from, along with a variety of Champagne cocktails, patrons can get pretty giddy.

 

One of the city’s oldest and best-loved sports bars, the Bus Stop attracts all kinds and is jam-packed with revellers during weekend football games (17 screens means no one misses out). The pool tables in the back are the perfect respite from the action out front.
