On that rubric we come third, and the table says why.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tbg-short\">\n<p><strong>The short version.<\/strong> By what each bar publishes, the best sports bar in Park Slope for a game you want to hear is The LayUp Bar at 47 5th Avenue: nine screens with sound on, kitchen to midnight, one block from Barclays Center. The Dram Shop at 339 9th Street is second on what its calendar page publishes: 8 TVs, a projector and NFL Sunday Ticket. The Beer Garage at 148 5th Avenue, Park Slope, Brooklyn is third, with the only 100 per cent gluten-free kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>The Commissioner wins on late hours and The Dram Shop on NFL Sunday Ticket, screens and a pool table; Black Horse Pub is the South Slope pick. Five rooms, one rubric, and the answer to the best sports bar in Park Slope changes with the night.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tbg-gf\">\n<p><strong>One kitchen note.<\/strong> The Beer Garage in Park Slope, Brooklyn (148 5th Avenue) is the one bar on this page with a 100 per cent gluten-free kitchen, printed on its menu. The Beer Garage&#8217;s other location in the West Village, Manhattan has a standard kitchen. If gluten-free food decides your night in Park Slope, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/sports-bar-with-fully-gluten-free-food-in-brooklyn\/\">gluten-free kitchen guide<\/a> has the full menu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tbg-toc\">\n<p>On this page<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"#table\">The best sports bar in Park Slope, five candidates compared<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#nights\">Which bar for which game night<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#hours\">Hours on a game night<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#open-late\">Sports bars open late in Park Slope<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#walks\">Walks from Barclays Center and the train<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#beer-garage\">Where The Beer Garage fits, honestly<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#finder\">Which Park Slope sports bar tonight?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#faq\">Frequently asked questions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#verdict\">Final verdict<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"table\">The best sports bar in Park Slope: five candidates compared<\/h2>\n<p>The best sports bar in Park Slope by published facts is The LayUp Bar, because it is the only one of the five that prints a screen count with the sound on for every major game; The Dram Shop prints 8 TVs and a projector with sound for playoff games, and the other three, The Beer Garage included, say they show sports without saying on how many screens or with the sound on.<\/p>\n<p>The best sports bar in Park Slope score is out of 10 in three parts, explained in the methodology box near the end: up to 4 for what the bar publishes about screens and sound, up to 3 for game-night practicality (hours, kitchen, walk from the train), and up to 3 for something the others do not have. The Local Pack for this query on September 15, 2026 held The LayUp Bar, The Commissioner and 390 Social, a cocktail bar; the first two are here.

What you eat is bar food from the Park Slope kitchen, which has no gluten in it: the wings, the nachos, the burger, the pizzas. The full case for the room is on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/sports-bar-in-park-slope\/\">Park Slope location page<\/a>; the walk-and-leave-by math for a Nets game is on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/bars-near-barclays-center-nets-game\/\">Barclays Center guide<\/a>.

Every claim about another bar comes from that bar&#8217;s own website, read September 15, 2026, except Black Horse Pub, whose site returned an error; its row cites its public Google listing and says so. The LayUp Bar, The Commissioner and The Dram Shop were reread on September 25, 2026. That reread corrected The Dram Shop&#8217;s hours and kids&#8217; hours, added the screens and channels on its calendar page, and removed a dart-board line that came from a customer review on The Commissioner&#8217;s site, not from the bar. No competitor was visited for this page.<\/p>\n<p>The walks from Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr and from each nearest station were measured once, in Google Maps walking mode, on September 15, 2026, and the two Beer Garage walks on September 14, 2026. The score is three parts: screens and sound as published (0 to 4), game-night practicality from published hours, kitchen and walks (0 to 3), and one thing the others lack (0 to 3). It measures what is published, not how good the night is; a bar that has 20 screens but does not say so scores like one with none, and that includes us.<\/p>\n<p>The scores were recomputed on September 25, 2026 after every competitor site was reread. The Dram Shop rose from 6 to 8: 3 of 4 on screens for the 8 TVs, projector and playoff-game sound on its calendar page, 2 of 3 on practicality for an 11:00 AM open, a midnight weeknight close and a 27-minute walk from the station, and 3 of 3 for NFL Sunday Ticket, which no other bar here lists in writing. That moved The Beer Garage from second to third. The Commissioner keeps its 6 for its published football Sunday copy and 2:00 AM weekend close.<\/p>\n<p>Six Park Slope prices were reread from the posted menu.

McMahon&#8217;s Public House at 39 5th Avenue is open to 2:00 AM every night, and The Commissioner and Drums &amp; Flats to 2:00 AM on weekends. The Beer Garage closes at 10:00 PM Sunday to Thursday and 11:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Hours as read on each bar&#8217;s own website on September 25, 2026.<\/p>\n<h3>What are some good bars and clubs in Park Slope, Brooklyn?<\/h3>\n<p>For a game, the Park Slope bars that publish sports facts on their own sites are The LayUp Bar at 47 5th Avenue (nine screens with sound on), The Commissioner at 247 5th Avenue (football Sundays, a low-key happy hour), The Dram Shop at 339 9th Street (8 TVs, a projector, NFL Sunday Ticket, pool and darts) and The Beer Garage at 148 5th Avenue (a converted garage, 100 per cent gluten-free kitchen). Park Slope has no real nightclubs; the club nights are Barclays Center events.<\/p>\n<h3>What are some good sports bars in Park Slope, Brooklyn?<\/h3>\n<p>Five are compared on this page as candidates for the best sports bar in Park Slope: The LayUp Bar (47 5th Avenue, nine screens, sound on, one block from Barclays Center), The Commissioner (247 5th Avenue), The Dram Shop (339 9th Street), Black Horse Pub (568 5th Avenue, South Slope) and The Beer Garage (148 5th Avenue, Park Slope, Brooklyn, the one with the gluten-free kitchen). The table says what each publishes.<\/p>\n<h3>Which sports bar is the best?<\/h3>\n<p>There is no single best sports bar in Park Slope, only the right one for the night. By what each bar publishes, The LayUp Bar scores highest here, 9 of 10, for nine screens with sound on and a kitchen open to midnight one block from Barclays Center. The Dram Shop scores 8, second, for the 8 TVs, projector and NFL Sunday Ticket on its calendar page. The Beer Garage in Park Slope, Brooklyn scores 7, third, with the only 100 per cent gluten-free kitchen; it also closes earliest, 10:00 PM on weeknights.<\/p>\n<h3>Which sports bar in NYC has the best views?<\/h3>\n<p>None of the Park Slope bars on this page publishes a view; they are ground-floor rooms on 5th Avenue and 9th Street, and the view is the screens. If a skyline matters more than the game, that is a Manhattan rooftop question, not a Park Slope one. For a Park Slope night, the practical version of a view is a seat facing a screen with the sound on, which is what The LayUp Bar publishes and the others do not.<\/p>\n<h3>Which Park Slope sports bar is closest to Barclays Center?<\/h3>\n<p>The LayUp Bar at 47 5th Avenue, three minutes on foot from the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center station and one block from the arena, per its own site and a Google Maps walk measured September 15, 2026. The Beer Garage at 148 5th Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn is nine minutes from the same station. The Commissioner is 15 minutes, The Dram Shop 27 and Black Horse Pub 33: those three are for nights when the game is on TV.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there a sports bar in Park Slope with a gluten-free kitchen?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. The Beer Garage at 148 5th Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn has a kitchen that is 100 per cent gluten-free, printed on its menu and stated on its site, so wings, nachos, the burger and the pizzas there are all gluten-free. No other Park Slope bar on this page publishes a gluten-free kitchen. Beer is separate; most beer contains gluten, so ask at the Park Slope bar. Readers with celiac disease should ask staff and use their own judgment.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"verdict\">Final verdict<\/h2>\n<p>If the question is which is the best sports bar in Park Slope for a game you want to see and hear, the published facts point to The LayUp Bar at 47 5th Avenue, and we say so on our own site. If the question is where to eat wings and a burger from a gluten-free kitchen with the game on, eight minutes from Barclays Center, it is The Beer Garage at 148 5th Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Late night, The Commissioner or The Dram Shop; Saturday with kids, The Dram Shop; South Slope, Black Horse Pub. Five bars, five nights, no single winner.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sources\">Sources and references<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Venue websites, each read September 15, 2026: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelayupbar.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">The LayUp Bar<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/thecommissionerbk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">The Commissioner<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/dramshopbrooklyn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">The Dram Shop<\/a> (home page, specials page and All hours panel), all three reread September 25, 2026, with The Dram Shop&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/dramshopbrooklyn.com\/calendar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">calendar page<\/a> for its screens and channels. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackhorsebrooklyn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Black Horse Pub<\/a>&#8216;s site returned an error the same day; its row uses its public Google listing.<\/li>\n<li>The Beer Garage, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/\">beergarageny.com<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/PS-Beer_Garage_Menu.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Park Slope menu PDF<\/a>, July 2026 upload, reread September 15, 2026; the Park Slope Google listing, read September 14, 2026.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.barclayscenter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Barclays Center<\/a>, 620 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mta.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MTA<\/a> station and line references.<\/li>\n<li>Google Maps walking mode, from Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr and from each nearest station to each bar, measured September 15, 2026; Beer Garage walks measured September 14, 2026.<\/li>\n<li>Google Local Pack and listings for the query, read September 15, 2026, for ratings and review counts (shown with their date; not in structured data).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"tbg-card\">\n  <img class=\"tbg-avatar tbg-avatar-lg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/marina-charny-owner-the-beer-garage.webp\" alt=\"Marina Charny, owner of The Beer Garage\" width=\"96\" height=\"96\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"object-fit:cover;padding:0\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Marina Charny<\/strong>, Owner, The Beer Garage<\/p>\n<p>Marina Charny owns The Beer Garage.
