Overall rating: 4.6 I came here to watch the last few episodes of Summer House to feel part of a group. The bartenders are very odd about serving water (in addition to a cocktail). I had to ask a few times and a few different people to finally get it. I've had a few things, rated below. - disco fries 2/5: best in a group vs solo - Cucumber martini 6/5: when made well, delicious - Crunchwrap supreme 5/5: solid choice and worth the price; ask for sour cream when you order. Can def take some home. I've also noticed they charge a 2.25% convenience fee. Can't even call it a service charge. read more

Perfect spot for late-night eats, especially if you're catching a game! We stopped by during the World Series Dodger game, and the energy was great -- lively but still comfortable enough to enjoy the food and drinks. We ordered wings, calamari, and fries, and everything hit the spot for a New York late night. The wings were tasty, the calamari was fresh and crispy, and the fries were the perfect snack-between-innings kind of vibe. My ice-cold Stella was exactly what I needed, and the good old fashioned was smooth and made just right. And I have to shout out our waitress -- she was AMAZING. Super attentive, friendly, and on top of everything, which made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a chill place to eat late, watch sports, and enjoy solid drinks and great service, Blue Haven South is a definite win! read more

This restaurant bar has a great vibe and staff. The bartender who doubles as the lunchtime waitress was super bubbly and polite. I ordered the chicken strips based on the otherworldly photos I had seen on Yelp and they were as impressive in person as in the pics. Unfortunately they were heavier on the wonderful and tasty batter than on the extremely thinly sliced chicken. Still, it tasted great -- just not as good for my waistline as what I was expecting. My cider was tasty until a bug decided to provide me with an assist and dove in headfirst to forget about his bug problems. He passed out immediately. The waitress offered to give me a new one but I couldn't show up to my afternoon shift three sheets to the wind and not expect anyone to notice so I washed out the taste of the bug with a Diet Coke and I washed on my way. I will probably be back to tempt fate again based on the energy and the talent of the chef who clearly puts a lot of effort into these chicken strips! read more

Back at Blue Haven South again. My favorite sports bar in NYC. Great drinks, great food, great sporty vibe with all the sports on probably 40 TVs. But most of all hands down the best bartenders and service in town. To the names of the previous bartenders with whom I have interacted, I have to add Autumn, Ava, and Andrea!!! Love this place so much! read more

Autumn & Margo are phenomenal bartenders!! Very attentive, very friendly and they make the absolute best drinks!! I highly recommend this establishment especially if Autumn is working!! read more

Pretty average sports bar in FiDi - definitely would recommend getting beer here over well/mixed drinks, due to both the pricing of liquor here and the selection of beer. Decent amount of space so perfect for large groups, which was the reason I had come here in the first place. read more

I really liked this place. I think the old Ainsworth used to be here. Y'all know the one, on Fulton street in the financial district. I didn't know why it seemed so much larger but I went with some colleagues. They had happy hour and we got some really good drinks. I did the watermelon margarita. So good, made with fresh watermelon juice! We also ordered a bunch of food. We shared buffalo wings, fries, guac, quesadilla and everything was tasty. Perfect bar food. Tons of TVs everywhere so if you're looking for a sports bar, this is it. We went during the US Open so tennis was on. The waitress was so nice and I had a great time. I'd definitely make that a regular happy hour spot for an afterwork drink or mixer. read more

Great sports bar with lots of TVs and a wide variety of drinks! It's much larger on the inside than it looks, so there's different sections of the bar with different vibes and liveliness. We sat at the bar and only had drinks, so I can't speak to the food, but the wings next to us smelled great! Overall, a fun spot to catch some sports! We really appreciated that they did a collab with Wilka's to celebrate the NCAA WBB final! read more

I'll keep this one more on the short side since I don't have much to say on this. I had some friends visiting from faraway Finland and they were doing their tourism thing to absorb as much of the city as possible. The overall plan initially was to meet in Manhattan once they had walked over the Brooklyn Bridge and then head into Chinatown for some eats. Sadly, they opted to eat in Brooklyn and ran on the late side to meet so that dinner part was off the table. Having walked so much they were quite thirsty, and being Finns a cold beer or two was high on the agenda. As I haven't drank in a few years, I very rarely pop into the bars and didn't know much of the area that I was once familiar with the establishments of but luckily we quickly found Blue Haven South that welcomed us all in. There were seven of us in all so they brought us to a spacious table in the back and we were attended to by the awesome Lor. I will guess this was short for Lauren or Laura. The friends had pints of Guinness, a couple of shots and then some Corona's while I stuck with a Sprite and water. Adventurous I know. Since they already ate, I was the only one ravenous and ordered a batch of buffalo chicken tenders and some french fries. There was a more expansive menu but I felt having things for others to pick at was a better idea. They were playing solid tunes and there were a whole lot of televisions showing assorted sporting events. The overall ambience seemed fine and since its near the courts and some of the further up Wall Street offices the crowd was a nice mix of professionals. One thing to point out was how spacious it seemed to be. There were a few sections that you could secure yourself away and if you are someone who hosts regular networking events, you would be able to do that without being cramped into the mix of everyone else. I am going to recommend this spot to friends who do that and keep this on my area recommendations list so I can go again. I will still with the Sprite of course but might look into a burger of something else next time. Thanks to the friendly and quick moving staff. Oh yeah there is also some WiFi if you must get TikToks and Instagrams up right away. read more

RAGS IN FOUR!!!!! Came here to chug beer towers and watch a ranger's game. The staff is incredibly hype and so attentive. if you want to see a certain game, they will accommodate you. Every time the rangers scored, they'd come around with a bubble gun and a horn. In between periods, loud/fun music was playing and everyone got on their chairs to dance and sing along. Started with two beer towers, ended with many rounds of shots. read more

A fun spot for an NFL game day -- it's a surprisingly large bar with plenty of tables and TVs, as well as full list of beers and some classic bar-brunch fare. The servers were very attentive and checked in on us throughout the afternoon -- they were also nice enough to swap channels on TVs close to us so we could catch our favorite teams. It's not too loud or crowded, but there's a steady flow of people throughout the day. If coming with a larger group, I might make a reservation -- we were able to get seated straight away with a small group. read more

Went here after work and I had a good time. If you are in the area and looking for a good Sports bar, this is the place you need to go to. The food was good as they had the typical bar food with wings, sandwiches, etc. Nevertheless, it was a good time and d I enjoyed my time and experience here. Looking forward to coming here again for such a great experience. read more

This bar used to be The Fulton and Ainsworth years ago. Honestly, if I didn't look at the awning, they all look the same inside. A quick drink before dinner at Blue Haven was a convenient choice since it is steps from the subway station. My friend arrived earlier and we sat at the bar. It was a quiet night with the lights being a tad too bright but whatever. I ordered an Aperol Spritz which wasn't executed very well. I mentioned it to the bartender who resolved the issue by adding more Aperol and Club soda. Scratching my head with that call to action. Blue Haven is a decent pit stop for whatever--drinks, appetizers or perhaps a meal. read more

I was starving when I arrived in NYC, but I wasn't in the mood for pizza. Luckily, I stumbled upon a real gem while waiting to check into my hotel. I arrived during lunchtime, so the sports bar was fairly empty, but it was still very inviting with TVs everywhere. It was the perfect spot for sports and beer! After perusing the menu, I asked the bartender for recommendations, and she suggested the buffalo chicken wrap. It was packed with flavor and so hearty! I was thrilled that it came with honey mustard, which was the perfect complement to the wrap. The food was so good that I couldn't finish it all, so I took the other half with me and enjoyed it later. I washed it down with a Tito's and cranberry, which was the perfect drink to accompany my meal. I also tried the guacamole, and it was delicious! The girls next to me raved about their quesadilla and wings, too. I'm disappointed that I didn't have time to explore more of the menu, but I know that when I'm back in this area of NYC, Blue Haven will be at the top of my list. Enjoy! read more

This bar takes reservations during professional sporting events. So, if you come here on a game day without a reservation expect to be rushed and told you can only sit in a certain area. This would be a 2-star except for the fact this bar is clean. Whoever mops the floor and cleans the tables deserves a raise. This is an okay bar, with good enough food, and not bad service. Nothing special or memorable. I appreciate that the waitresses encourage you to change out specific liquors in cocktails so they are customized for what you like. The problem is that all the drinks are watered down. The food tastes like frozen TGIF Fridays. read more

A very solid 4. Large upscale sports bar with 12$ lunch specials during the week. Beth was on point and made us feel so welcome. Pulled pork sandwich surprisingly good as was the Mexican salad. Food 2 levels above normal sports bars. read more

Found my new favorite sports bar in downtown Manhattan! Big on the Rangers, Knicks, and Yankees games. Amazing crowd if ya know what I mean (lots of women) and I nearly fell in love with several staff members. Wings and mozzarella sticks were delicious! Walking distance from the ferry terminal and concert venues like Pier 17 at the south street sea port. Will be returning here often! read more

Came here for a birthday party and had a pleasant time. The bar itself is quite spacious and very clean. We had an open bar and some finger food to pick on. The food was standard bar food and tasted yummy. The drinks themselves were quite strong (not complaining!). Prices are on the higher end considering it's in FiDi, but not exorbitant. Would come back. read more

Where do I even begin? I was always a Blue Haven East and West fan so I was so excited when they moved in by me. The staff are incredible. Super sweet and work hard. Abby is amazing. The food is so much better than bar food. I threw a big party tonight and everyone complimented it. Everything I've had at BHS has been great. Big fan of the nachos. Their private party space is wonderful. Cannot recommend BHS enough! read more

Go Penn State! They have become the official PSU football bar for 2023 season and I have to say I am impressed. Have a great time here - the food is pretty good and the bucket deals are unbeatable. Also first place i saw with Nutrl and I have to say I prefer them more than White claws. The staff members are attentive and a great time. Sometimes erratic but I get it with the amount of patrons during the games. Hope to celebrate the rest of the season with them. read more

Came here since I was staying in the Financial District. Cute little bar. If you are looking for quick bites and some drinks then come here. Music is loud but the place has good vibes. Our waitress was nice and attentive. We ordered margaritas that were really tart so we asked for simple syrup to assist lol. I ordered the Buffalo wings. They were okay but kinda bland. The best part about the wings is the amount of celery they give you. ( I love celery! Lol) The beef sliders were good and flavorful tho. read more

Sunday stop for lunch. Convenient with entries on Fulton and ann streets. Waitress was amazing nit he was fast as hell. Started with nachos and the waitress warned us it was colossal. Packed with all the ads ones and more cheese that legally allowed. Wife has the smash burner and it was perfection. I had the Caesar chicken wrap. Stuffed with chicken, kale and even croutons. Portions are crazy. We couldn't eat half. Sports on TV in every view. Soccer. NCAA basketball and golf. A sure hit on Sunday afternoon. Don't sleep on this one. read more

I went here around 5:00pm on a Friday with a group of people, around 30 ppl, for a retirement party. They had happy hour deals which was $2 off drinks. The place seemed a little overwhelmed. We only had one server for the amount of people. Then when we got up to get drinks at the bar ourselves, we were told that we couldn't open a bar tab and that we had to wait for our waitress. Needless to say by the end of the night we were yelled at and told to just go to the bar and get our own drinks. The food was typical bar food; mozzarella sticks, fries, wings, nachos, etc. I would come back here but probably not in a big group unless they get more servers. read more

Exactly what the neighborhood needed. Such a fun vibe, super spacious and the food is spectacular bar food with a fun twist (tried their brunch and their dinner and both here top notch). The service is excellent and the staff seems to really care and make you feel like a regular quickly (not easy to do at a big bar!) they also have a really cool back area that will be perfect for private parties. Also if you're a sports fan their vibe during a game can't be beat - they have tvs literally everywhere and you have a great view from every seat. Last thing that just puts this place over the edge for the neighborhood is the entire bar is decked with outlets to plug in your phone or laptop which makes this a perfect wfh set up during the days. Overall this place is an 11/10 read more

$39 for 3 strawberry lemonade with vodka. Make it a double plus $36. Make it with Tito's plus $3. Comes to $26 per drink. Good thing the bar stool were very plush and sturdy or I would of fell over when I saw the bill. Plus 2.25% for using your credit card. I don't mind paying $22 dollars for a grey goose martini at Nobu but paying $26 for a Tito's at a mediocre sports bar is crazy. read more

Blue Haven South is without a doubt the best sports bar in NYC. This is no slight to Blue Haven or Blue Haven East (they both have my heart), but South is a whole different animal. First of all, it's MASSIVE - so much space, SO many TVs. You'll never miss a game or an event on any given day. It's truly a vibe. The food, much like at its big sisters', is incredible. I'm obsessed with just about everything on the menu, but some of my favorites are the buffalo chicken quesadilla, nachos, and the crunchwrap. The staff is like no other. They're attentive, they care, they're so much fun, and they definitely love what they do. You will never not have the best time of your life when you walk through those doors. Never thought I'd willingly be spending time in FiDi, but for this bar, I'm making the trek! read more

I have celiac and the bartender INSISTED that Guinness was safe for me, fully gluten free. Argued even. It is not gluten free.

Great (GREAT) bartenders, excellent food, many TVs for great sports sight lines. Was really disappointed when the manager began pressuring us to leave so her friends/family could have our seats at the bar. Not a great way to run a business. Good experience, not great. Appreciative of those that took care of us read more
