A Wood-Paneled Soccer Bar With 54 Draft Beers

Sean’s Bar & Kitchen starts with the sort of Midtown entrance that looks modest from the sidewalk, then opens into a roomy, wood-lined room where soccer screens keep the tables moving. The draw is straightforward: 54 rotating drafts, house options such as Sean’s Red Ale, and pub food that leans comforting rather than precious. Chicken pot pie, salmon, and specialty burgers give the kitchen range, while Liverpool FC match days turn the room into a proper supporters’ gathering.

The wide interior is the reason this works for a group that wants to settle in without feeling packed against the next table, especially on match days. It sits on West 48th Street, a short walk from Radio City Music Hall and Rockefeller Center, and runs from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily. The 4.4 rating across 3,039 reviews fits the pitch: a sports-minded Irish pub with enough room for a long lunch, an after-work pint, or a late plate when Midtown has gone quiet.
