Mustang Harry’s is a legendary NYC sports bar for European soccer fans.

We’re also known as the best NYC bar for Dortmund fans. We show all the teams games on our big screen and several smaller screens throughout the restaurant and attract a huge crowd of Dortmund fans. Of course, we’ll be showing the Dortmund vs. Malaga match on April 3 and on April 9.

We always attract a good-sized and ever-growing crowd of football fans. We’ll be showing every Champions League match from the Quarterfinals through the Champions League final on May 25. We have scores of TVs everywhere you turn, outstanding bar food, and a stellar line-up of world class beers.

No wonder we’re the best bar in NYC to watch Dortmund.

Cheer your team on at Mustang Sally’s, the best sports bar in NYC showing Champions League.

Mustang Harry’s is the best Knicks bar near Madison Square Garden. We have a crowd of fans before and after every game.

On Tuesday April 3, The New York Knicks and Mustang Harry’s invite all Knicks’ fans to watch an away game at Mustang Harry’s as the Knicks play the Atlanta Hawks at 7 pm.

The New York Knicks will be giving away a ton of team merchandise, including T-shirts, bottle openers and other items. We’ll also have  drink specials and our usual lineup of outstanding pub fare.

There are just 9 games left in the season, and the Knicks hold a narrow lead over Indiana for the #2 seed in the  Eastern Conference and a modest divisional lead over Brooklyn. Every game is a big game for the rest of the season.

Don’t watch these critical games at home; come experience what it’s like to watch an away game with dozens of fellow fans.

Horse racing, the Sports of Kings, is treated like a pauper by most sports bars. Most bars in NYC don’t show horse racing outside of the Kentucky Derby.

We’re happy to tell you that Mustang Harry’s is the exception. We usually have small crowds for major stakes races, and we’d like to make it a big crowd. Thus, we’ll be following this year’s top three year-olds on the Road to the Roses and through the Triple Crown. If we build enough of an audience, we’ll show all major stakes races throughout the year.

The lineup thus far:

March 30 Florida Derby and Louisiana Derby

April 6 Santa Anita Derby and Wood Memorial

April 13 Blue Grass Stakes and Arkansas Derby

May 4 Kentucky Derby Day

May 18 Preakness Stakes

June 8 Belmont Stakes

For the Triple Crown races we’ll have a full gala celebration.

Invite all of your horse racing friends and come out and watch these crucial races with your fellow racing fans!

Where to Bet on Horse Racing in NYC

New York City OTB closed its doors several years ago. The only way to legally bet on the Kentucky Derby in New York City is to go to Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens or Belmont Park in Elmont, NY on Friday or Saturday, or to open up an account online with one of the four services we list below.

The four online wagering providers listed below are the most reliable sites that permit same-day funding of a new account. There are other legitimate providers, but most do not allow same-day funding of a new account. Be wary of any other operator; they may be located offshore and may not be legally permitted to accept wagers from U.S. residents.

NYRA Rewards is operated by The New York Racing Association, which operates New York’s three major thoroughbred racing tracks; it offers free, instant accounts to residents of New York and Connecticut.

InterBets is operated by Catskills OTB and operates the nearest OTB branch to Mustang Harry’s – this is important if you want to go collect your winnings in person!

TwinSpires is managed by Churchill Downs Incorporated and offers wagering on races at Churchill Downs to all U.S. residents.

A revered New York city tradition is the weekend brunch with friends. Once confined largely to Sunday, it has become so popular that many places, including Mustang Harry’s, now also serve brunch on Saturdays.

A weekend brunch is a great way to reconnect with groups of friends that you can’t always connect with in the evening. Planning brunch for a large group in NYC is not for the faint of heart. Friends coming from all around the city, unpredictable subway schedules, no reservations policies, and of course the dreaded “the whole party must be here before you can sit down” rule can make the experience of planning a group brunch onerous.

Forget that! Have all the fun and great food, at a location convenient for everyone. Mustang Harry’s is just steps from  Penn Station, and near all the major subway and railroad lines in the city. We’ve just published the best brunch menu in NYC to rave reviews in the few weeks we’ve been offering it.

We’d never pull that “is everyone here” schtick, and we have room for large groups for brunch – so if you’re planning a baby or bridal shower brunch or just have a lot of friends, let us know, we’d love to see you. Call us at 212-268-8930 to book your table now.

The middle of March in NYC brings with it a sense of renewal and hope for the rest of the year. It matters not that we hardly had a winter this year; Sandy provided enough bad weather for ten years.

At Mustang Harry’s, the best sports bar near Penn Station,  the main reason for the excitement is March Madness. When it begins, 68 teams have a chance to win the tournament. Significant underdogs have been on a tear in major sport championships for several years – starting with the SF Giants’ win in the 2010 World Series, we’ve seen the GB Packers, UConn, the Dallas Mavericks, the St. Louis Cardinals, the SF Giants again, the NY Giants and the Baltimore Ravens come from nowhere to take home a trophy or ring.

Thus, tens of thousands of fans times 68 have a new sense of hope, a reason to believe their team can win it all.

Mustang Harry’s is one of the best sports bars in NYC to watch the NCAA Tournament, as we show every game, all day long. Once the tournament reaches the Sweet Sixteen stage, you can be sure we’ll have every game on multiple TV sets.  If you live or work around Penn Station, we’re right in your neighborhood. We see a steady stream of employees from the Penn Plaza office buildings all day long while the March Madness games are on.

We’ve recently added a large line-up of world class craft beers, and have long been known for serving food that is just right for those watching their team play and enjoying a pint or a glass of wine to go with it. Many of the games fall during our Happy Hour, from 5 to 9 pm daily, so you can enjoy great values on our food and drink.

We’ll see you soon!

The Big East tournament begins next week. One of the teams taking a familiar spot at the top of the standings is the Georgetown Hoyas. Coach John Thompson III’s team is ranked #5 in the country and dreaming big about playing deep into the league and NCAA tournament this March.

Mustang Harry’s, the best sports bar near MSG, is a favorite meet up for Georgetown Alumni before games at Madison Square Garden. We’re expecting a sea of Georgetown fans as they do their own “pre-game warm-ups” before each of the team’s several games in the Big East Tournament. We have an outstanding menu, a terrific beer and drinks menu, and plenty of room for everyone. No wonder we’ve become the best Georgetown bar near MSG.

If you don’t have tickets to the game, we’ll show it on many of our dozens of big screen TVs.

The 2013 NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade will be held on Saturday, March 16, from 10:45 a.m. until the early afternoon.

It begins near 44th St., on Fifth Avenue, and continues straight up to 79th St.

The best place to watch the NYC St Patrick’s parade is in the high 40s, along Fifth Avenue. This is near the start of the parade, and away from the madness around St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Columbus Circle.

Before and after the parade, come to Mustang Harry’s for lunch or dinner. We’re a family friendly NYC restaurant for St. Patrick’s Day, and we will not be hopelessly mobbed. See our food and drink specials, below.

We have outstanding Irish fare and a full line-up of craft and Irish beers. No wonder we’re considered one of the best Irish pubs in NYC.

We’re just a few blocks from Penn Station, so you can enjoy your meal and drink and then catch your train about 5 minutes away.

Slainte!
