The Big Apple Browns Backers of NYC will be hosting our 2019 NFL Draft watch party on Thursday, April 25th at 8:00pm at our official viewing location, Brother Jimmy’s Murray Hill.

For the first time in forever, we don’t have a 1st round pick (unless Dorsey makes moves, which would surprise no one).

BUT THAT DOESN’T MATTER! We’re still going to have our annual draft party, aka Super Bowl Warm-Up Party, talk football with our fellow Browns fans, welcome new fans who have recently moved to the Big Apple (and those who have jumped on the OBJ bandwagon — you’re still more than welcome).

For all Browns fans in attendance – you get to make your own PICK from our draft specials:
– 1 free draft beer
– 1 free shot
– 1 free order of tater tots

We’ll be upstairs at the main bar, with the front stage area and all the tables by the bar reserved for Backers.
