We wanted to kick off the much anticipated 2021 Browns season with BRAND NEW merch from the Big Apple Browns Backers of NYC…

Meet King Dawg!

Inspired by our bar’s proximity to the Empire State Building, this playful design reimagines King Kong as a member of the Dawg Pound and even includes our beloved “Shot Penguin” as his damsel in distress.

• King Dawg T-Shirts: orange, brown, white

These items are printed-on-demand and shipped directly to you.

The Big Apple Browns Backers of NYC will be hosting our 2021 NFL Draft watch party on Thursday, April 29th, at our official viewing site The Liberty.

Doors open 7:30pm with the Draft kicking off at 8pm.

We’ll be towards the back of the main bar, with lots of reserved tables for Backers. No reservations needed — just show up!

We hope you can join our annual draft party, aka The Super Bowl Warm-Up Party, to talk football with your fellow Browns fans, get drunk and welcome new fans who have recently moved to the Big Apple.

Lastly, be sure to check out our Merch Store for Big Apple Browns t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts and other gear.

The day after a loss is always difficult, but today is a little easier knowing the Browns gave us one of the BEST seasons of Cleveland football in decades.

It was a wild year — COVID prevented us from hosting two NYC tailgates, it threw a wrench in hosting night games with state-mandated curfews, and it had us going from outdoor-only to partial indoor to outdoor-only yet again.

Through it all, our chapter members and fellow Browns fans came out to cheer on the team they love. We wanted to thank everyone for their diehard support, especially in these uncertain times.

You are the reason we do this and why the Big Apple Browns Backers are the most exciting backer chapter in the world.

HUGE shout out and thanks to the entire staff & ownership at The Liberty bar. You gave us a new home in a season of uncertainty, filled our bellies with delicious food and kept us sufficiently drunk — doing so with extreme professionalism and thoughtful execution. THANK YOU!

We’ll see everyone next year for our SUPER BOWL run!

GO BROWNS!

We WILL be having an outdoor watch-party in NYC for the Cleveland Browns divisional playoff game versus the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, January 13th!

WHEN: Seating starts at 1:30pm & kickoff is 3pm. As always, seating is first-come, first-seated and we don’t do reservations.

WHAT: Indoor dining is still banned in NYC (fuck off, Governor Cuomo). Fear not: we’ve got a massive socially-distanced outdoor setup with lots of comfy seats, plenty of heaters and fabulous food & drink specials (plus a full menu). Remember to dress warm just in case. You can still use the indoor restrooms. 

WE’VE GOT MERCH FOR SALE: Use code FUCKCUOMO for 15% off your entire order at our Big Apple Browns merch store.

GO BROWNS!

On Friday, December 11th, Governor Cuomo announced indoor dining in NYC will close for a yet to be determined time, due to the rising infection rate of COVID-19.

Combined with the 10pm curfew for outdoor dining, we have no other choice but to cancel our next two Cleveland Browns watch parties as they are both night games:

• Monday, Dec 12 vs the Ravens
• Sunday, Dec 20 vs the Giants

We will resume outdoor watch parties, in our beautiful & heated setup provided by The Liberty, for the games thereafter:

• Sunday, Dec 27 vs the Jets
• Sunday, Jan 3 vs the Steelers
• Knock on wood… a playoff game or two

As soon as the indoor dining ban is lifted, we’ll be back to normal with lots of socially-distance seating options inside.

Hopefully that will occur in time for the Jets game, but either way we’ll be holding down our own version of the Muni Lot here in NYC.

GO BROWNS!

The Big Apple Browns Backers of NYC have announced that Vice-President Sean Martin is resigning from his post at the end of October, 2020.

Dedicated Backer, Alex Koontz, will take over as VP effective immediately.

Serving as VP of the Big Apple Browns Backers the last 5 years, Sean has been a beacon of happiness & positivity every game day no matter the outcome.

Words can’t describe how much we’ll miss Sean so we got former Browns coach Hue Jackson to do it for us!
