Winter is coming. Well, the Winter Olympics at least! With the Opening Ceremony happening on February 6th, it’s time to start planning where to watch the games. Whether you want to watch hockey or ice skating, alpine skiing or luge, there’s plenty of places to watch in NYC. Here are a few of our favorites: 

The Standard Biergarten 

Watching the Winter Olympics at The Standard Biergarten is a classic West Village moment, with giant screens tuned to the Games, communal picnic tables full of cheers, and that infectious buzz of people rooting for their favorites. As the competitions unfold, you sip on cold German-style beers and inventive Olympic-inspired cocktails like the Olympic Flame Margarita or Team USA Martini, designed to make every medal moment taste even sweeter. Along with salty pretzels, sausages, and good company, it’s the perfect blend of sport and spirited drinks that turns viewing the Olympics into a proper celebration. 

The Dram Shop Bar 

Located in Park Slope, The Dram Shop Bar gives you big screens tuned to every event from skiing to skating while you can savor their wide selection of beers, draft pours, and classic cocktails alongside hearty Tex-Mex-inspired bar fare, in a laid-back, sports-friendly atmosphere. The bar opens early (around 11:30am) to show all your favorite winter sports with Happy Hour specials through the afternoon, so you can cheer on the competition with a cold pint or a refreshing frozen cocktail in hand and the buzz of fellow fans around you.
