If you search for the Everton bar in New York you will find a confident answer pointing at 63 Carmine Street, and it is wrong. Mr. Dennehy's — the pub that hosted the New York Evertonians for years and that every list still names — has closed. This is the standard failure mode of supporters-club information: the club moves, the bar shuts, and the recommendation outlives both by several years. Here is where the crowd actually is.
Early Premier League kickoffs run hours before a bar's posted opening time, and whether the door is actually unlocked at 7:30am is decided week by week. Ask Karpo which rooms near you are opening early for the match you want and what time the supporters club is meeting.
The club, and where it sits now
EFC NYC has been an officially affiliated Everton supporters club since 2011, which makes it one of the longer-running Premier League clubs in the city. Its current home is Turnmill, at 119 East 27th Street between Park and Lexington, which bills itself as the proud home of the NYC Evertonians and shows the matches live with sound. Sound is the part that matters and the part that is most often missing — a bar that puts the game on with the audio down is showing you a video, not hosting a match.
There is a second room now as well. Evan and Shorty's, at 229 Flatbush Avenue a few doors south of Barclays Center, opened before Thanksgiving and has joined the EFC NYC family alongside Turnmill. For anyone living in Brooklyn, that is a meaningful change — it removes a 7am subway ride into Manhattan from the equation entirely.
The discount that tells you who runs the room
At the Brooklyn room, Everton supporters get 18.78 percent off their tab during matches. Not fifteen, not twenty. Eighteen point seven eight, because Everton were founded in 1878. It is the kind of detail that cannot be invented by a marketing department and only comes from a bar where somebody genuinely cares — and it doubles as a reliable signal that the arrangement is real rather than a bar claiming a fanbase it does not have.
Practically, assume you need to be identifiable as a supporter and to be there during the match rather than turning up afterwards. Details like this are set by the people running the club rather than by the bar's till system, so ask at the door rather than assuming it will be applied automatically.
Posted hours are not matchday hours
Turnmill's published schedule runs 3pm to midnight on Monday and Tuesday, 2pm to 2am Wednesday through Friday, noon to 2am on Saturday and noon to midnight on Sunday. Those numbers cannot possibly describe a Premier League Saturday, where kickoffs land at 7:30am, 10am and 12:30pm Eastern. Bars that host supporters clubs open ahead of their posted hours for matches, and the early opening is arranged fixture by fixture rather than published.
So the rule for any early kickoff is the same everywhere: do not trust the listed opening time, and do not assume. Check with the club during the week. This is the single most common way people end up standing outside a locked pub at 7:20 on a Saturday morning in February, and it is entirely avoidable.
How to check a supporters club is still where you think
The Carmine Street situation is not unusual, and it is worth knowing how to avoid repeating it with any club. Bar listing sites and travel guides are the least reliable sources here, because they are updated on a slow cycle and a pub closing rarely generates the kind of news that triggers a rewrite. The clubs themselves are the primary source, and almost all of them run a public account where the week's fixture and venue are posted a few days ahead.
The second check is the bar's own site. A pub that genuinely hosts a supporters club will say so somewhere on its own pages rather than leaving it to third parties — a dedicated page, a fixture list, a line about the club in its description. If the only evidence that a bar is a club's home comes from an article written four years ago, treat that as an unconfirmed rumour rather than a plan, particularly if you are getting up at six in the morning on the strength of it.
What else the room does
Turnmill is not exclusively a football bar. It runs NFL Sunday Ticket and markets itself hard around American football, and it has a happy hour that runs all day on Sunday and Monday and until 7pm Tuesday through Friday, with the kitchen open late. The overlap is worth planning around: a Sunday with a 9am Premier League kickoff and a 1pm NFL start is a long day in the same room at happy hour prices, which is either an excellent plan or a warning, depending on your constitution.
The Gramercy location also helps. East 27th between Park and Lexington is a short walk from 28th Street on the 6 and from 23rd Street on the N, R and W, which makes an unreasonably early Saturday morning slightly less unreasonable.
Practical notes
Turnmill, 119 East 27th Street between Park and Lexington, New York, NY 10016; (646) 524-6060. Posted hours 3pm-midnight Monday and Tuesday, 2pm-2am Wednesday to Friday, noon-2am Saturday, noon-midnight Sunday; matchday openings for early kickoffs are earlier and arranged fixture by fixture. Happy hour all day Sunday and Monday, until 7pm Tuesday to Friday; kitchen open late. Evan and Shorty's, 229 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, near Barclays Center, is the club's second room and applies an 18.78 percent matchday discount for Everton supporters. EFC NYC has been an official affiliate since 2011 and can be reached through its public channels. Mr. Dennehy's at 63 Carmine Street has closed — ignore any listing that still names it. Confirm the early opening before travelling.

Ask Karpo first
Supporters clubs relocate when a bar closes and the internet keeps recommending the dead address for years. Ask Karpo where your club is currently meeting, what time the doors open for an early kickoff, and whether there is a second affiliated room closer to where you live.
