2025 marks our 15th season as a Browns Backers bar in NYC! We are the ONLY Cleveland Browns Backer location in New York City and the most exciting (and rowdiest) chapter in the entire country.

We host NYC watch parties for EVERY Cleveland Browns game!

OUR VIEWING SITE LOCATION:

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

Haswell Green’s

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

• No Reservations! Doors open and seating starts 90 minutes before kickoff for regular season games (ie, 11:30 AM for 1pm games). Folks start lining up outside 10-15 minutes before seating begins so plan accordingly!
  
• Inside the bar, we can accommodate 300+ people. 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 we open up when crowds get really big.
  
• 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.

T-SHIRTS & MERCH FOR SALE:

We do NOT sell merch during watch parties at the bar — everything is online and printed-on-demand and shipped directly to you.

All profit is donated to an animal rescue org in NYC at the end of the season. We offer multiple Big Apple Browns logos in a bunch of clothing styles, in various colors, including t-shirts, hoodies & sweatshirts.

FOOD & DRINK SPECIALS:

This season, we have a brand new gameday menu customized just for us, including food & drink specials with some of the best bar food you’re going to find in all of NYC.
