Now they play for all the money. More importantly, for a ring. Super Bowl XLVII is this Sunday, February 3.

Many football fans in NYC are asking: “What is the best bar in NYC to watch the Super Bowl?”

For the Super Bowl, we’re offering an optional $75 package that gives you all the tap craft beer you can drink and plates full of appetizers at half-time. Of course, you can also just pay per drink and plate of food.

That’s just one reason why Rattle N Hum is the one of the best bars in NYC to watch the Super Bowl.

Comfy

Every seat in Rattle N Hum has an excellent view of several televisions and our large screen, so everyone gets a good view of all NFL games.

The Beer

No one else offers beer like Rattle N Hum, the best beer bar in NYC bar, We offer 40 taps of craft beer, and more than 100 types of beer in casks and bottles.

While we have solid crowds, we also usually have a seat for almost everyone. Our tables and benches are built for enthusiastic groups to enjoy themselves!

Rattle N Hum is also conveniently located; we’re the best bar near Madison Square Garden, and just a block away from the 33rd St. stop on the 6 train, and a few blocks from the 34th St. N-Q-R/B-D-F-V/1-2-3 /A-C-E lines. It’s just a short trip for nearly everyone in Manhattan and large parts of Brooklyn and the Bronx.

At long last, the New York Rangers drop their first puck of the abbreviated 2013 NHL season. When last we say the Rangers, they were a young, scrappy team playing deep into the conference championship round and looking like a group that would keep us cheering for a long, long time.

We’ll see what this team will bring when the season opens tonight, and at the home opener tomorrow night against the arch enemy New York Islanders.

Rattle N Hum is becoming known as one of the best bars and restaurants near Madison Square Garden.

We’re a mere 5 minute walk from the entrance to the Garden, on 33rd Street, just east of Fifth Avenue.

But we’re a world apart from the tired old places that are closer to MSG, that still serve stale kegs of the same beer you’ve been drinking since you turned legal.

The craft beer movement is no “craze;” it’s a well-ground evolution arising from the fact that people want to be able to taste their beer.

Given our ever-evolving list of 40 taps of craft beer, and another 100 types of beer in bottle, there’s no better bar near Madison Square Garden than Rattle N Hum. Because we know that not everyone in your party has yet developed a taste for craft beer, we also offer a full bar, a collection of fine wines, and some of the more commercial beers in bottle.

We also offer outstanding pub fare, including four types of sliders and a bevy of salads and wraps.

We want to become your home base before all NY Rangers games this season.

Come see for yourself why Rattle N Hum is widely considered one of the best bars in NYC.
