Best sports bars for football watching

Angry Wade's
The annual Thanksgiving Football Party, in its seventh year, promises to be big with pints and house drinks half price until 6pm. What’s also big are the six HD LCD Tvs; not to mention your stomach after tucking into the free Thanksgiving buffet with roast turkey, sausage stuffing and homemade cranberry sauce. 222 Smith St at Butler St, Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn (718-488-7253). Open noon–4am.

Bar 43
Show up in your team’s colors at this Irish spot. When your idols score a touchdown, they’ll toast you with shots on the house. By the time the Celtic rock band takes the stage you’ll be blarneying about the ol’ country. 43-06 43rd St between Queens Blvd and 43rd Ave, Sunnyside, Queens (718-361-3090, bar43.com). Open 11–4am.

Bleecker Street Bar
Ostensibly, this NoHo joint is a no-frills sports bar. But amidst the 10 TVs and $6.50 pitchers of Bud—plus pool tables and dart boards to amuse you between games—there’s a surprising array of Bloody Marys (including bacon-infused and pesto) that are also worth a try. 58 Bleecker St at Crosby St (212-334-0244, bleeckerstreetbarnyc.com). Open noon–4am.

Dalton’s
If your family is refusing to let you watch the football, just burn the turkey and take them here for a $25 substitute dinner. It doesn’t matter where you sit, you’ll be able to see the game on one of 15 HD 50" screens. Score with $5 Blue Moons and $4 Yuenglings while the game’s on. 611 Ninth Ave between 43rd and 44th Sts (212-245-5511, daltonsnyc.com). Open 11–4am.

Pacific Standard
If big crowds aren’t your thing, but a cornucopia of beer from American micro-breweries are, head to this cozy, laid-back Brooklyn. There, you will find large projection screens in both rooms, light bar snacks and plenty of space. 82 Fourth Ave between Bergen St and St. Marks Pl, Brooklyn (718-858-1951, pacificstandardbrooklyn.com). Open noon–4am.

Still
The surrogate home for fans of the San Diego Chargers and anyone who likes 25¢ buffalo wings and $3 domestic—which is pretty much everyone. But don’t be fooled by the prices—this is more stylish bar than sports dive. 192 Third Ave between 17th and 18th Sts, (212-471-9807, stillnyc.com). Open noon-4am.
