This week kicks off the RBS 6 Nations Rugby Championship. This is an event that can stop the clocks in Ireland, the UK and the rest of Europe, but hardly be noticed in NYC. However, it is a big deal at Brickyard Gastropub, which attracts a large horde of fans for every major European rugby match.

While we have not finalized all schedules yet, we know for certain that we’ll be showing these five games:

Scotland vs. England
Murrayfield in Edinburgh
Saturday, February 4, 12 pm ET

France vs. Ireland
Stade de France in Paris
Saturday, February 11, 3 pm ET

England vs. Wales
Twickenham in London
Saturday, February 25, 11 am ET

Wales vs. Italy
Millennium Stadium in Cardiff
Saturday, March 10, 9:30 am ET

England vs. Ireland
Twickenham in London
Saturday, March 17, 1 pm ET

We expect a boisterous crowd of fans. With nine giant screens, the best brunch in Manhattan and the best beer menu in NYC, Brickyard Gastropub is one of the very best bars in New York City to watch the Rugby World Cup.

Brickyard Gastropub has quickly become known as the best place in midtown NYC to watch Premiership Soccer.

Now, we’re going all out to become the best place in Hell’s Kitchen or anywhere in midtown to watch Premiership matches. We’ll be opening at 10:00 am every Saturday and Sunday to show all of the matches starting at that time or later.

Let the Yanks get all excited about the wrong kind of football – we know what the biggest game being played Sunday is. We’re very excited to bring you Sunday’s match between Chelsea and Manchester United.

We’ll be serving the best brunch in midtown NYC, and our stellar line-up of European and American craft beers.

We also welcome groups of fans for a particular club who want to make Brickyard the headquarters for fans of their club. Please contact Pat or Addis at 212-767-0077 to discuss.

So whether you support Bolton, Manchester United, Liverpool, Wolverhampton, Norwich City, Sunderland, Wigan Athletic, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Fulham, Newcastle, Stoke City, Everton, Man City, QPR, WBA, Blackburn, Tottenham or Swan City, wear your finest club jersey and come cheer your team on at Brickyard Gastropub.

Brickyard Gastropub is one of the best bars in midtown NYC to watch soccer and other European sports, with large, enthusiastic crowds for all major events. Indeed, we’ve become known as one of the best Barcelona soccer bars in NYC.

We’ll certainly be one of the best NYC bars showing Valencia vs. Barcelona in the COPA Del Rey Semi-final on Wednesday, February 1, at 3:00 pm.

Too often, when we heard the word “sports bar;” we think “fist fights, cheap plastic pitchers of bad beer and crappy 25 cent wings, crowds five deep at the bar.”

The Brickyard is not one of those cavernous sports bars whose capacity rivals Madison Square Garden. We don’t want large, rambunctious crowds; just a few dozen fans who are passionate about the game, their drink, and their food.

We’re the midtown New York sports bar for grown-ups.

For the Super Bowl, we’re doing something different than most other bars in New York City. Sure, like everyone else, we’ll have a bevy of large screen TVs turned up loud, but we’re adding something else: a healthy dose of sophistication.

For those who call us early enough to reserve a table, this starts with your own seat, at a table, and waiter service. For everyone at a table, and those who choose at the bar, we’re also offering a special for a fixed price of $65: for the duration of the game, you can enjoy 20 of our craft beers, house wines and well drinks, as well as an ample supply of a wide array of passed hors d’ouvres, including the best chicken wings in NYC.

Those sitting or standing at the bar are welcome to enjoy our usual menu and drink selections at regular prices.

Call us today at 212-767-0077 to reserve your table.

Come enjoy the lead-up to the Big Game, which will include Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton singing “America the Beautiful” and Kelly Clarkson singing “The Star Spangled Banner.” Like everything with the Super Bowl, these performances are watched closely and ranked against the all-time greats. Most observers currently rate Whitney Houston’s 1991 rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner as the best ever at a Super Bowl.

Welcome to the best sports bar in midtown Manhattan for grown-ups.

Today is the beginning of Broadway Week, an event that has been so well-received by theater goers that it now runs for more than two weeks, ending February 4.

So what’s the deal with Broadway Week? It’s elegantly simple. Most of the shows on Broadway – from classics like Chicago, Godspell and Porgy & Bess, to new shows such as Chinglish and Relatively Speaking – are offering two tickets for the price of one. See the Broadway Week website for limitations, but it’s the best deal you’ll see on Broadway all year.

In the spirit of encouraging New Yorkers and tourists to partake of all that New York has to offer, Brickyard Gastropub is offering two, prix fixe specials for Broadway Week. One is a small-plate tasting menu, and the other is a traditional three-course meals, with choice of entree. Each costs just $29.95 per person (plus tax and gratuity).

Small-Plate Tasting Menu

 Witte Steamed Cockles - New Zealand cockles, capers, tomato, fennel, shallot, steamed in Ommegang Witte

 Le Belle Farms Duck Salad - New York State duck, poached pear, dried Michigan cherries, roquette, candied walnuts, goat cheese, champagne vinaigrette

 Steak Frites - Seared and skewered grass fed New Hampshire hanger steak, parmesan & white truffle frites,

Au poivre dipping sauce

Assorted Petits Fours - Four unique and delicious petits fours

Prefixed 3 course Dinner Menu

 Soup du Jour or House Salad

Entrée Selections (* choose one)

* Pressed Chicken - Crispy skin-free range chicken, spaghetti squash, wheat berries, brussel sprouts

* Potato Crusted Flounder - 6 oz flounder, haricot vert, oven roasted roma tomato, saffron beurre blanc

* Flat iron Steak - Pan seared flat iron, truffle mashed potato, haricot vert, bourbon bleu cheese sauce

Assorted Petits Fours - Four unique and delicious petits fours

For those who just love tastings, may we also suggest our four-beer sampler? Just as the tasting menu is for those who can’t choose from among our many savory appetizers, our four-beer sampler is for those who can’t just pick one of our 24 world-class craft beers on tap.

Brickyard is quickly becoming known as one of the best restaurants in the Theater District of NYC. Our reviews on Open Table are the very best you’ll ever read for a restaurant in our moderate price-range.

Reservations are strong for this two-week period, so please call us at 212-767-0077 to book your table today.

Brickyard Gastropub has quickly become known as the best place in midtown NYC to watch soccer and other European sports. The large boisterous crowds we drew for the Women’s World Cup were covered in segments on NBC Nightly News and Tokyo TV.

We also had large, enthusiastic crowds for the Heineken Cup Rugby Final last year and the Barcelona vs. Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League Final. Indeed, we’ve become known as one of the best Barcelona soccer bars in NYC.

We’ll certainly be one of the best NYC bars showing Real Madrid vs. Barcelona in COPA Del Rey on Wednesday, January 18, at 4:00 pm.

Indeed, we’re now going all out to become the best place in Hell’s Kitchen or anywhere in midtown to watch European Soccer. We open at 10:00 am every Saturday and Sunday to show all of the matches starting at that time or later. We will also show all matches during the week. If ever you walk into Brickyard and find your team’s game is not being shown on at least one of our TVs, let us know and we will quickly remedy that.

Many people in New York City will spend some or much of this upcoming weekend planted in a seat at a sports bar, gobbling up bar food, downing beer, and watching one great football playoff game after another, all day long.

New York City has many sports bars to choose from. But most of them define “sports bar” as ones that offer cheap plastic pitchers of bad beer, 25 cent wings and fist fights over space among crowds 5 deep at the bar.

You’ve looking for something a little more sophisticated.

Watch the NFL Playoffs at Brickyard Gastropub, the midtown New York sports bar for grown-ups. Here’s why:

We Take Sports Seriously

We have  9 HDTVs, more than enough to satisfy everyone in the bar.

The Beer

Our first-class list of 24 craft beers on draft and five craft bottle beers evolves regularly, particularly as the seasons change; it’s always anchored by beers from Blue Point, Six Point, and Ommegang. As the glowing reviews on Open Table and Yelp convincingly show, sports fans share our taste in beer.

The Wings and Other Fabulous Bar Food

Our passion for sports and beer doesn’t come at the expense of the taste of our food – we are, first and foremost, a Gastropub.

Ours are anything but ordinary: very meaty, perfectly crispy with just enough spice and served with creamy New York State Bleu Cheese dressing. Take your pick of Buffalo, Teriyaki, Thai Chili or Honey BBQ wings.

Groups

Got a big group of friends?  We accept advance reservations from groups of loyal fans and promise to show their team’s game in its entirety. So whether you’re cheeseheads from Green Bay praying for a repeat, Tebow maniacs, or Niners fans from SF dreaming of former glory, all that matters to us is that you’re in NYC now, and fans of the Brickyard. Let us make you feel right at home.

Call us today at 212-767-0077.

You can also make smaller reservations on Open Table.
