Finnerty’s: NYC’s home for Bay Area sports
Finnerty’s is the Bay Area’s embassy in New York, the bar where SF Giants, 49ers, Warriors and Sharks fans pack in to watch their teams. After the original East Village room closed in 2020, the bar reopened in Midtown across from the Empire State Building, taking over the old Foley’s baseball-bar space at 18 West 33rd Street.
The new spot leans hard into its identity with 24 big screens, Bay Area memorabilia, and a full kitchen turning out garlic fries and sourdough bread bowls. It’s a group-watch destination first and foremost, best known for its GameBus trips that haul fans up to Giants and 49ers games in season.
What to Expect
No happy hour is currently advertised at the Midtown location. The old East Village deals no longer apply, and the official site lists no dated drink special, so treat any game-day pricing as something to confirm at the door.
The Room
The Midtown room is a proper sports bar built for crowds, with 24 big-screen TVs, a long bar, and Bay Area touches like a life-size Willie Mays mural and door handles made from reclaimed Golden Gate Bridge cable. It’s loud, packed on game days, and set up for watch-party groups rather than quiet drinks.
