The Upper West Side’s wing-famous sports bar
Blondies is a fixture of Upper West Side game days — a women-owned sports bar on West 79th between Amsterdam and Broadway, with screens in every direction and a kitchen built around its legendary wings. It’s loud and friendly on game nights and an easy, generous spot for bar food the rest of the week.
Happy-hour specials are reported by listings, but Blondies doesn’t publish fixed times or prices — so treat any specific window as a guide and confirm at the bar. What’s reliable: the wings, the screens, and a neighborhood crowd that turns up for the big games.
The Happy Hour & Wings
Here’s the honest picture on deals at Blondies:
- Happy-hour specials reported — listings note drink specials, but no fixed posted times/prices, so confirm at the bar
- The wings — the real reason to come; generous portions and a long list of sauces
- All-you-can-eat wings — a Blondies tradition that’s run on-and-off; check whether it’s currently offered before relying on it
- Every game on — screens throughout, and the place fills up for marquee matchups
Come for the wings and the game; treat the happy-hour specials as a confirm-when-you-get-there bonus.
The Wings & Food
Wings are the headline — large, well-cooked, and available across a range of sauces — backed by classic sports-bar fare: burgers, fingers, fries and the like, in famously generous portions. It’s hearty, no-nonsense game-day food.
The Sports
Screens in every sightline and a schedule built around the sports calendar — Blondies is a genuine game-day bar, busiest for big football, basketball and soccer matchups. It’s also noted as one of the city’s few women-owned sports bars.
The Room
A classic, unpretentious UWS sports bar at 212 West 79th Street between Amsterdam and Broadway — comfortable for groups, good for catching a game, and a reliable neighborhood hang. The 1 at 79th St is right around the corner, with the B/C at 81st St close by.
