    One of my favorite bars in the whole country. If you wanna watch a soccer game this is the place, if you wanna have a great pretzel, this is the place, if you wanna relax and grab a drink after work THIS is the place. Banter has it all. They show all the BPL and all the World Cup qualifiers... they have it all.

    This is a great Irish bar! And they love futbol!!! Or do you call it soccer? Six screens dedicated to the greatest game in the world. Plus artwork throughout the walls of great players throughout history - Messi, Ronaldo, Maradona and "The Hand of God"... Luis Suarez too... And in case I was not sure of the futbol fandom the urinals left no doubt about it. Freaking awesome - Goooooooollll

    Great bar in Brooklyn, it is a soccer bar but not really for any one club and on Saturdays you will see a plethora of different club shirts coming and going from early. Awesome drinks, good food and most importantly friendly long time bar staff.

    Great place to go grab a pint, some food and catch a game! Limited options on menu but the sausage platter I tried for lunch was very good. Proper pour on a Guinness too.

    Easily the best football pub in the boroughs. Great beer selection on tap, fair prices, and lively atmosphere. Added bonus: Wednesday night trivia. Worth stopping by.

    Eh, didn't love this place. Went on a Wednesday night, which would explain why it was nearly empty, but overall I didn't get great service from the bartender, and the whole place had a bit of a weird smell to it. But the beer list wasn't bad, and if you love soccer, this would be a solid place to go hang.

    Great soccer and sports bar. They will put on any game you want. Good beer menu, $8 beers. It's one of my favorite bars to go to after dinner if you want to keep the conversation going with friends. Service was patience and kind to us both times I went this month.

    Arsenal played a flawless first half. High pressure. Excellent ball movement. Jesus and Odegaard connection is blossoming. Top it off with a Saliba top corner bender. We’ve got super Mik Arteta. And he knows just exactly what we need.

    American “soccer” fans are hilarious. say things like “push it” and “Kai havertz sucks” and think everything is a foul, expressed by saying CANT DO THAT. Loved it

    Visiting NY and needed to keep up with the Premier League back home. Friendly, welcoming atmosphere, with a great selection of drinks on tap. Couple of screens around the bar, and they have the sound is ON during the games. A great phrase printed on their custom scarfs “Football never sleeps”. I can drink to that!

    Great bar in the heart of Williamsburg! Games, TV’s, ample seating both indoor and outdoor. Lively atmosphere right on the corner. Bartender made us a lemon drop even though not on the menu, and he made it with fresh lemon. Small efforts to go the extra mile make a big difference in the dining experience. Highly recommend!!

    Long overdue review of this gem :) Best place in all of New York to watch premier league games. The team behind the bar is amazing. Awesome selection of beers, spirits etc and if you get hungry they make very good sausages! But even if you don’t come here to watch a game you’ll still have a good time.

    Great service, excellent taplist with a good mix of local and regional craft. Cool decor, compact and tasty menu and a super place to watch sporting events!

  • 5/5 Inder m. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing bar for soccer and sports. Great beer and food. Owners and bartenders are the best.

  • 5/5 Jessica S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great outdoor setup with TVs and speakers. Pretty large menu for a sports bar. And lots of options for draft beers, cans, bottles, and wine - even non alcoholic options. Fun place to watch a game!

  • 5/5 David M. 2 years ago on Google
    Good selection of beers. Small sized, yet filling options for food. Service was top notch for our group of 8 in the outdoor area. Place wasn't busy which may have been a reason for the availability of staff to meet us. I would return especially to catch a variety of soccer (football) matches.

  • 4/5 Kevin A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to catch football (soccer) games while enjoying some beers and pub food like kielbasa, sandwiches, savory pies. They do seen short staffed, unfortunately, so the service at times was very slow, but hey these are tricky times.

    Great for Thursday night foosball

  • 5/5 Christopher E. 2 years ago on Google
    Solid spot to watch the footie, i think they’re a tottenham pub because i saw a few white hart lane flags around. 90s kids would know what i’m talking about.

  • 5/5 Gilad L. 6 months ago on Google
    there’s a trivia night every other wednesday and it was so fun!

  • 5/5 Joe B. 2 years ago on Google
    Best staff, best beer, best everything.

  • 4/5 Colin R. 11 months ago on Google
    Larger than most bars. Plenty of screens for Premier League football. Reasonable selection of beer.

  • 5/5 Tilo Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Great people, great games, great beers. Banter breathes the beautiful game. You can start your day at 7am in England, glide into the Bundesliga (shoutout Brooklyn Borussen), and reach noon with the European top games. Catch the 2pm LaLiga game to lead you into MLS time and finish with the superclasico. All in a days work. The menu is limited, but the fine assortment of sausages or the prosciutto panini can hold you over a few games. It gets crowded for the big teams but always fun. Hands down the best footy bar in Brooklyn.

  • 5/5 TommysTechReviews 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to watch soccer! Especially if you are in to Bundesliga, Premier- or Champions League. The Owner and staff are very nice and offer a good beer selection. Can only recommend for sports fans. Liverpool and Dortmund really welcome :) Thanks Banter!

    Fantastic bar with some delicious beers. Massive shout out to Corey who had great chat and gave us a fantastic restaurant tip. Pomp and circumstance was spot on. Great shout. Thank you!

    Tragically, it's a racist bar. Unless you are of the white race. Team evaluation. My apologies. Because they were Spanish, you made my friends feel unwelcome. Never will I set foot there.

  • 4/5 Millie O. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little pub for watching fútbol and drinking some beer!

  • 5/5 Brooke M. 2 years ago on Google
