East Village Sports Bar Near Union Square
Premier League mornings, rugby weekends and NFL Sundays, with proper food and a serious gin list on East 14th Street.
A sports bar that also feeds you properly
The Winslow is an East Village sports bar near Union Square, but it doesn’t look or eat like a chain. We’re a British pub and gin house at 243 East 14th Street, with big screens around the room and a kitchen that takes the food as seriously as the football.
There’s nearly always a game on. Most nights we play music and keep the TVs muted, so the friend who doesn’t care about the score still has a good night. For the big ones, the sound goes up: Six Nations rugby, Arsenal matches and NFL Sundays all get the commentary.
Bring the group, order from the menu, and stop choosing between a sports bar and a decent dinner.
What's on the screens
Our loyalties lean British. The TVs don’t. Here’s what you’ll usually find, depending on the season.
Soccer
Premier League, Champions League and Europa League. A loyal crowd of Arsenal fans watches here, though we're not an official supporters' club.
Rugby
The Six Nations every February and March, plus internationals and club rugby the rest of the year.
NFL
Sunday football, and a room full of Bills Mafia whenever Buffalo plays.
Baseball, basketball, hockey and college football
MLB, NBA, NHL and college games in season, on whichever screen you ask for.
The hard-to-find match
Ask the staff. We can often stream soccer and rugby that isn't on regular TV, as long as it falls in our opening hours.

Wings, scotch eggs and a gin you haven't tried
Food is the part most sports bars skip. Ours runs from duck wings and scotch eggs to burgers and proper plates, with brunch on Saturday and Sunday from 12 to 4 PM for the early kickoffs.
Behind the bar you’ll find imported and American craft beer on draft, cocktails built on rum, whiskey and everything else, and over 40 gins. If halftime drags, ask for a gin and tonic made with a bottle you’ve never had. The gin bar is the reason we’re more than another pub.
Watching with a crowd
We don’t take table reservations, so on a normal game night just walk in. If you’re bringing a crowd and want space held, book it through the event request form. There’s no rental fee, only a minimum spend.
- The Nook: a high top across from the bar for 10 to 15 guests, $300 minimum.
- The Back Room: our private room with its own TV. Seats 18 to 20, $700 minimum.
- Communal High Top Area: up to 45 standing, $900 minimum.
Fantasy leagues like the Back Room because the draft board goes up on the TV. More on our fantasy draft parties page.
Sports bar questions
Do you show games with sound?
For the big ones, yes. Six Nations rugby, Arsenal matches and NFL Sundays get the sound. Other nights the games are on with music playing, though a big enough group can ask for the sound on a particular game.
Can you put on the game I want to watch?
Usually. Ask the staff when you arrive. We can often stream soccer and rugby that isn't on regular TV, as long as it falls within our opening hours.
Is The Winslow an Arsenal bar?
Not officially, but a loyal group of Arsenal fans watches here and the Gunners get the sound when they play.
Do I need a reservation?
No. We don't take table reservations, so just walk in. If your group wants its own space, book the Nook, the Back Room or another area through our event request form.
Where exactly are you?
243 East 14th Street, between 2nd and 3rd Avenues, on the north side of the street. The L stops at 3rd Avenue, and Union Square station is about a five-minute walk west.
