Browns Backers Bar in NYC: Playoff Watch Parties

Big Apple Cleveland Browns Backers NYC Sunset


Join us for our famous Cleveland Browns watch parties in New York City as the Browns make their playoff run. We’ll be hosting NYC watch parties for EVERY Cleveland Browns playoff game!

Doors open 2 HOURS before kickoff for every playoff game.

The first 100 folks to arrive this Saturday will get a drink ticket for 1 free Brownie beer or hard seltzer, thanks to our friends at DUDE Wipes.

SPECIAL GUEST IN ATTENDANCE:

Former Browns player Phil Taylor (2011-14) will be joining our watch party this Saturday. He’ll be available to sign autographs and take photos before kickoff. Yet another reason to get to the bar early!

OUR VIEWING SITE LOCATION:

We host all Cleveland Browns games at Haswell Green’s bar, easily accessible from almost any Subway line.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

  • No Reservations! Doors open and seating starts 2 HOURS before kickoff for playoff games. First come, first seated. Folks start lining up outside 10-15 minutes before seating begins so plan accordingly!
  • Inside the bar, we can accommodate 300+ people. We’ve got BOTH floors of the bar for the playoffs. Seating options include solo seats at our center bar, dozens of 4-tops and 2-tops, loads of family style tables for 8-10. We combine smaller parties like we’ve always done — so feel free to come with a group or solo and we’ll find you a spot!
  • We also have TONS of standing room all around the bar for those that show up closer to kickoff, plus a second floor that will be open for playoff games.
  • Kids are welcome to join our watch parties. It does get a little rowdy but we love our young Browns supporters and will do our best to make them feel welcomed.
  • Get drunk. Order lots of food. Tip well. Don’t be an idiot.
  • NO FANS FROM TEAMS WE’RE PLAYING THAT WEEK! If for some stupid reason you’re cheering for our opponent, or wearing their gear, you will NOT BE PERMITTED to watch the game (this counts for any friends or significant others that Browns fans might bring). ZERO EXCEPTIONS.
  • NO STEELERS FANS ALLOWED FOR ANY GAME! They are strictly prohibited, mocked relentlessly and cannot enter our establishment. We will kick you out if you are found out. ZERO EXCEPTIONS.
