Of course New York has a gay sports bar, and of course it's in Chelsea. Beer specials are reportedly good, and there are "hot jocks" serving drinks. Something tells me … these are not the same hot jocks who looked up cheerleaders' skirts. [link]

I know, I know, it's like sending someone who asks for a NYC slice to a Pizza Hut, but isn't it nice to know where to go to escape your terrible Broadway show matinee? … Like all things Time Square, this place is huge and will probably rip you off, but your game will be showing. [link]

Loki Lounge is one of my favorite "sports bars" because it's rarely busy, mixes homemade bloody marys, and has a huge lounge of old couches. It's the living room you wish … you had, and if you arrive early enough, the bartender takes your request for which game to project on the big screen (there are other TVs too). Oh yeah, and the Coors Light girls might stop by. [link]

My days of tequila with a beer chaser and random make-out partners are over, but maybe yours aren't? The Big Easy is your typical sports bar: cheap drinks and drunk frat … boys preying on females. Oh, and the bar's email is getdrunk@bigeasynyc.com. Exactly. [link]

11 flat screen TV's, chicken wings, and beer specials on the weekend all point to a decent sports bar destination. A tipster recently informed us that a group of Detroit … fans will be calling this east side bar home for the football season and beyond. [link]

If you're an out-of-towner like me, you are accustomed to watching your team on a bar TV without sound while the sounds of a Jets and/or Giants game floods your ear … canals. Ship of Fools remedies that with 5 different "sound zones" that allow you to actually hear the game. What a concept! [link]

Chelsea has its gay sports bar while Park Slope wannabe Gowanus has its lesbian version. With NFL Sunday Ticket, an outdoor smoking deck, and a go-go pole, girls will … have fun while guys will inevitably receive little attention. (photo) [link]

Like the Upper West Side version, the Blondies across Central Park has the same vibe: immense amount of space (two floors), televisions, bar food, and cute waitresses. [link]

Named after and co-owned by a former Playboy model, Blondies has a stand-out Ohio and Pennsylvania contingency, specifically the Cleveland Browns and a slew of college … teams at this Upper West Side locale. We recommend making a reservation on Sunday afternoons. There's another location on the Upper East Side as well. [link]

"Sports bar" and "tiny bar" are usually not synonymous, and this East Village watering hole stays true to its name; there's a good chance you will be standing on game … day. It's the official Cincinnati Bengals bar and also attracts a lot of college football fans. Free bagels on Sunday afternoons! (photo) [link]

Forty beers on tap, a decent Sunday brunch, and a full menu make this often-crowded bar one of my favorites for watching the game. There is a significant Steelers fan … presence, but a lot of teams are represented and appropriately cheered. [link]
