Stan's Sports Bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Bronx, New York

Great nostalgic bar here on the concourse. Been coming here for years before or after games. Definitely a Bronx staple and must see when your at Yankee stadium read more

I came here for bar food and had low expectations but that's far from what I got. Timing to be seated seemed like it was going to be quite the wait because the place was slammed but it turned out better than any 5-star I've been....Chaos at the street where diners and boozers are building up for the game ahead, the host grabs a name from you nearly audible over the L we are perched below. You think you're never getting a table... minutes later seated , seconds into the wait drinks are ordered from you, and literally as you get comfortable, they're served. You order off the limited menu thinking bar grub.. it's all served hot and as requested. Well done fries nailed and wings falling off the bone in a hand made sauce that sticks (so damn tasty it caught me off guard). You need to visit pre and post game. It's a NY thing. read more

Stan's Sports Bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Bronx, New York

Best place to have a beer before and game and an amazing crowd after a win. Highly recommended for a true "game day" experience in the Boogy Down. read more

Stan's is a South Bronx icon. It's almost a pilgrimage for any Yankees fan. But this, this is the World Series and I wanted to get the experience. I walked in to get my tab going so I can enjoy my time (well, before game 2 started). Walking in, INSTANTLY hit by Yankees history. Seeing some of the pictures threw me back into memories of seeing games on TV with my grandfather and my dad. It felt right. I ordered my beer and it was a good one! Stan's Pilsner. You can only get it there and the brewery, that's it. Definitely a solid beer. I found my spot at the bar and had a couple before ordering chicken tenders and fries (the menu is limited, but they're good with it). A simple chicken tender (I'm thinking Tyson, by the seasoning. Can't go wrong with that), and fries. I ordered it and it came to me screaming hot in a flash (literally 1-2 minutes). The staff is top notch. Always asking if I needed anything. Friendly, and the best of the best. I don't know what to say about ambience. It's a sports bar for Yankees fans. It's perfect. The pennants of past World Series championships, the mural of past and present Yankee greats, it's astonishing. The only drawback is the super tiny bathrooms, but it's NYC, it's expected. read more

Stan's Sports Bar - Bar area - Sports Bars Near Me - Bronx, New York

Tried to go to Yankee Tavern before the City, AC Milan match but it was small and crowded. Stan's was the bar my boyfriend researched and wanted to visit. We were very happy when we walked in and it was not crowded. I also liked that the crowd was mixed with both sets of fans. Nice outdoor space too. Drinks were a bit pricey, fries were okay. Bartenders were great, very friendly. read more

This is THE place to come to pregame if you're a Yankees fan getting ready to watch the Yankees play. Yes, this place will get crowded, but it's still manageable. Plenty of bartenders and they move quick so you'll be sure to get your drinks and move on. read more

Sure, everyone wants to get some brewskies from the infamous Stan's when catching a ballgame, but you really shouldn't miss out on the hot dogs and fries. Look at the picture--and enough said. read more

Stan's Sports Bar - Hot dogs and fries - Sports Bars Near Me - Bronx, New York

What a fun place with tons of history and such great energy all around. this bar is located directly across from the "original" house that Ruth built! Across the way is this beautiful field where you see people walking and spectators sitting on the bleachers with a baseball game going on. The bar is simple and serves both food and beverages. They provide fast service and a friendly New York style attitude! A couple of beers and we were off and ready to see the game.... read more

Great starting place for Saturday Afternoon Yankee games. Get there early as it packs up fast

We had the best experience eating and drinking at Stan's! We only sat outside but our waitresses (Julia & sydney) made us feel so at home and gave us the best time. Thanks to them we will definitely be coming back to pregame a yankee game read more

I cane here after a game to see the legendary Yankees bar, got a very cold Corona for $10 and drank it in a massive crowd. Some guy spanked me as I was leaving. I don't know if it was Stan. Not a casual experience but maybe it's more chill at other times. read more

This was my first experience at Stan's. It's an absolute gym. If you attend a Yankee game stop by Stan's first for a drink and talk to nice people.. read more

Staple bar for before yankee games. The place gets packed and is extremely overpriced. $12 a high noon. $10 for a Truly seltzer. $12 shots, etc. You are basically paying stadium prices before you get into the stadium. Having said that, it's still an obligatory stop for a drink before the game, but I couldn't imagine coming here otherwise. read more

Food was a bit greasy. And they had the bus man standing right next to our table waiting to clean tables. Felt like he has hovering and was not relaxing. read more

The best prequel to attending a Yankee stadium. It's practically an unwritten rule for Yankee fans to at least have one drink at Stan's. Drinks come out quick, servers and bartenders are efficient. A sea of white and navy blue everywhere you look! Memorabilia all over the walls, captain plaques, and everything in between. Truly a Bronx game-day stable. read more

Denise was the best and so was her Sister LIsa Marie, made the night fun and were always there whenever we needed something. The whole place gets 5 Booms! read more

Great place to be would always go back and bring more people with me! The music is also great too!

I went here with a bunch of friends. I loved that the little bar back looks like he's 12 and looks like he hates everyone. So funny. The surly blonde haired one was great! It was like I was in Moe's tavern in the Simpsons! The other blonde got seemed very awkward and confused. Not sure if he's in the right business. Overall this place is awesome! Like Cheers on steroids! That salt and pepper weirdo didn't yell at us this time so that was good read more

Great beer selection. Bar was super busy and got to meet a lot of firefighters. Good yankee pregame spot for sure

This is my go to place before a Yankee game. It is what it is No frills. Loud music. And lots of Yankee fans This time I was there with my three girls. We had a blast. Perfect way to start a night in the Bronx. I have eaten here in the past and it has been good. Didn't have time this trip read more

The service fucking sucks I didn't get my right drink and then didnt give me the right food I ask for a burger but got a hotdog Never coming again. read more

Love it. I always come here after a game with my beautiful wife. When she was pregnant, they offered nonalcoholic beer so she doesn't feel left out. read more

Opening day at Yankee Stadium against the Red Sox! Packed house with Yankee memorabilia! --loud, good music with happy crowd. Drinks were pricey! Getting drinks could be a challenge if you don't catch bartender's eye! Great way to start game! Go Sox! read more

I grew-up a Yankee fan and our group stopped-in here recently on our way to Yankee Stadium, since the Yankees were hosting the Minnesota Twins. I really liked the vibe and it was cool to see all the Yankee fans hanging-out before the game. The bar was crowded, but, hey that's what a sports bar is all about. Even if you're not a Yankee fan, this is what you'd expect from devoted fans, who support their team. I really enjoyed all the Yankee memorabilia throughout the bar. They even have light fixtures of baseball bats and liquor bottles hanging from the bar. Service was really good and our servers were polite. Drinks were served quickly and everyone seemed to be having a good time. It was a good start to our night. read more

Well worth the pricey drinks. The ticker inside is also electric. Just an absolutely necessary spot pre Yankee games

It's not going to the ballpark without a stop at Stan's. Coors and a Jameson shot with classic rock blasting and fans buzzing before the game. It's crowded and rowdy but it's The Bronx in a nutshell. read more

Dennise was an excellent server very attentive and kind and cool under pressure !! Best bar to go to before a Yankees game!

This is a must stop before a Yankees game. The food was really good, service was excellent. I got the pulled pork fries and they were amazing!! Thanks guys! read more

Got up to the game early with my gal pals so of course we decided to stop in at no other but Stan's Sports Bar for drinks. We were greeted warmly by Colin, one of the servers, who was quite a gem. He was friendly, and even pretty cute. Service was 10/10, will be back anytime we come to Yankee games. read more

If heaven was on earth .......this is it! You are there to grab one last beer pregame or postgame and discuss the Yankees.

I was at Stans today 4/5 before going to Yankee game, it was a very good eco. They are following COVID-19 rules, social distance, masks etc, it's table service only but there is plenty of room, they have tables outside and by curb. The service and food were outstanding. I would highly recommend going here before and after game the owners and help are the friendliest bunch you can meet. 5 Stars I'll be back again read more

Opening Day at THE Stadium. If this ambiance was in any other bar, I'd probably never go, but the fact that this IS across from the original site of Yankee Stadium and the place is always full of Yankee fans of all ages, makes it a "must do" every time i go to a game. In fact, all my Met fan friends wish there was a place like this near Citifield. Considering the crowds, service (provided you can get to one of the many bars) is excellent. The food is decent, but I'm trying to limit the amount of fried foods I eat, so it was only 1 very hot and crispy chicken finger for me. I would never go to a pace this crowded at home, but Stan's is the place to be for a Yankee game. read more

Stan's Sports Bar - Opening Day 2014! - Sports Bars Near Me - Bronx, New York

This place can get super packed on a nice game day and it was difficult getting to the bar but the prices are much cheaper than in the stadium and the crowd wasn't rowdy at all. All the doors and windows were open and the excitement of the game brought us in before the 2nd inning. Tip: DON'T come here to use the bathroom, its co-ed and the line is longer than actually ordering a beer. Tip 2: on a busy day, order yourself 2 beers so you don't have to go back and wait for the second one, you'll thank me later. read more

Great atmosphere. Old time baseball feel. Great selection of drinks and service was great.

Stan's is a notch above the other bars in this area for serving Bronx Pale Ale AND Not Your Father's Root Beer, whereas the other place a couple blocks away had a pretty crappy beer lineup. Prices are not outrageous. There'a also food, but we were waiting for overpriced concessions at the NYCFC game. Interestingly, the bar starts to look like a Murray Hill Dive closer to game time (maybe it was the soccer crowd). Lots of Midwestern-looking bros vs. the muscled apes I was expecting to find here. Also deserving note, the dude at the door was kind of a d--k. He thought he was being funny, messing with us in his own "genial" way, but mostly came off like a jerk. I guess he has to deal with a lot of bros with the bro-homie that serves them well. read more

Hot, crowded, extremely loud, music blaring, Nu Yawkers blabbing left and right, sticky floor, food (and beer) prices are riDICulous, and there are very few places to sit. Stan's has been around for 196 years, if I recall correctly, and it is THE classic pit stop before a Yankees game. We had an outstanding time. read more

If your're not agoraphobic, and you happen to be friends with a lot of broad shouldered, cliquey borough-centric people, then you'll fit right in here. Seriously, this place can be cool, but you can't be shy. Me and my buddy went on the 2011 Opening day, and resigned ourselves to being people-locked, and it wasn't really that bad. People are drunk, but friendly. People seem to come with the constant hope that the Yankees will pull out a victory, to slightly bolster their own shortcomings. Sometimes it works. This place is best observed by the casual outsider, during the middle innings of a weekday game when everyone is inside. Or a blowotu, when no one cares. It gives you the opportunity to check out the fun art work, and chat with the workers. Overall a good spot. read more

Stan's Sports Bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Bronx, New York

This is based off me spending a few minutes in Stan's while people I know met other people they know and so on and so forth.. Really not my type of bar. I don't enjoy bars that I have to literally shout over the music just to hear every other word in a conversation. Maybe this dies down when the game is, and it's fine to be loud DURING a game, but loud (may I also mention crappy?) music before the game, is just ridiculous. They seem to have plenty of seating, which is appreciated. However, maybe it was just the day I popped in, but there seemed to be a lot of sorority girls and frat boys lingering around. Not my kind of crowd. I'm older than half these "kids" and can hold my liquor way better than most of them. I'll come check out Stan's again one day for a game and see how it is. Luckily, I'm always at Yankee games so I can celebrate inside the stadium. read more
