Really appreciated the great service that our group received, unfortunately we didn’t get to try the food but the beer was great!

Joshua Hallmark

They were so kind and put on the sdfc game on! Asked them earlier in the day if they were going to put it on and they said we will definitely put it on and add audio. Banter bar so clutch

Saikrishna Chavali

Great bar for footie watching!! Highly recommend. Don't expect much for veggie folks who don't like fake meat. Get there 15-20 mins before your game and you'll get seats for sure.

Tomás Orihuela

Great bar to watch Premier League if you can get a spot

Ross Yenerich

best place for a soccer pub in town. great staff, friendly people. immaculate vibe. the food is significantly underrated as well (sandwiches & pretzel both gas), and they know how to pour a guinness 🙏🏼

If you want to watch football in Brooklyn — or indeed in New York City — then this is the place to come. During my four-week stay in Bushwick, I regularly came here to watch the FIFA Club World Cup, and I always had a great time. I met good people and enjoyed some good beer.

Cem Tulunay

Best sports bar. It has a killer foosball table and regular pick up games on Thursday evenings. Great staff, fun place. There is dart as well

Per Sveen

Gets packed in here on big match days like Champions League. The atmosphere is so good and the bartenders are attentive and friendly. Perfect place to watch the game.

I recently had my birthday at Banter. I first started going to banter to watch matches around two years ago and it’s definitely one of the best neutral bars in Brooklyn, largely in part due to the people it attracts! Everyone is friendly and excited without being too rowdy or rude. The staff is great as well, always working hard and happy to help. The food is also excellent—my boyfriend and I often stop in while we’re in the area to just grab a bite to eat. When I started to plan my birthday party, I knew I would have a hard time finding a decent spot in Brooklyn on a Saturday night with enough space, a good atmosphere, and without a huge fee. I reached out to a bunch of places, but Banter immediately became the clear choice. Chris, who I believe is the owner, was fast to respond and let me reserve the back tables without any type of minimum spend or deposit. My friends all loved coming to check out the bar, the space was great, and it was the perfect option. I love Banter for both sports and socializing and recommend it to anyone in the area!

We came here to watch the Red Bulls play in the MLS cup. We are Columbus Crew fans from out of town, and it just happened that they were playing while we were there. The place was full of soccer fans of all kinds of teams, including rival teams. People were generally polite and not pushy. The bartenders were excellent. There was so much commotion and so many people in a small space, but they handled it very well. We got some vegan sausage and a pretzel, both were excellent, at least as far as bar food is concerned. Show up early to get a seat though!

Dagoberto Ramirez

Hands down the best fútbol bar in Williamsburg! Kick things off with an Irish coffee, follow up with a couple of Guinness, and you’re golden. Don’t miss the delicious Mexican chorizo!

This bar by far has the best staff in the neighborhood and maybe even the city. Banter has brilliantly captured a welcoming, warm, cozy yet spacious atmosphere for all sports fans alike. Obviously the best pub for footy in the city. But don’t count out catching other big games here for different sports! Whether you’re looking for live sports, conversation, board games, darts, or a solid trivia night (2nd & 4th Wednesdays), this is truly a gem for all who enter. The food is great as well as the extensive whiskey list and great beer tap. Bring your friends but don’t bring too many because this is my favorite spot.

Taylor King

Watched the man city vs Chelsea game here. Crowd was high energy and drinks + small bites were awesome. Owner is always walking around checking on people. A true sports bar football experience

Juan Gutierrez

This is a great Irish bar! And they love futbol!!! Or do you call it soccer? Six screens dedicated to the greatest game in the world. Plus artwork throughout the walls of great players throughout history - Messi, Ronaldo, Maradona and "The Hand of God"... Luis Suarez too... And in case I was not sure of the futbol fandom the urinals left no doubt about it. Freaking awesome - Goooooooollll

TommysTechReviews

Great place to watch soccer! Especially if you are in to Bundesliga, Premier- or Champions League. The Owner and staff are very nice and offer a good beer selection. Can only recommend for sports fans. Liverpool and Dortmund really welcome :) Thanks Banter!

Colin Miller

Great service, excellent taplist with a good mix of local and regional craft. Cool decor, compact and tasty menu and a super place to watch sporting events!

Shannon Ryan

Visiting NY and needed to keep up with the Premier League back home. Friendly, welcoming atmosphere, with a great selection of drinks on tap. Couple of screens around the bar, and they have the sound is ON during the games. A great phrase printed on their custom scarfs “Football never sleeps”. I can drink to that!

Robert Beveridge

Up there as one of the best spots to watch football in Brooklyn. I messaged their Instagram ahead of time and asked if they were playing a certain match and got back quite quickly with a response which was a nice bonus. They have all the games on and partition the TV’s to play one major game on one side of the bar and the other games on the adjacent, I asked if I could have one of the French league games on and the barman got one of the smaller TV’s switched over to it for me which was cool. Service itself is really friendly, I keep getting the same guy every time I go on the Saturday afternoons and he’s really accommodating, there isn’t really a food menu except bar snacks but they do have 4 types of Sausages like Argentinian Chorizo or Bratwurst and they taste really good, but don’t expect a full kitchen menu.

Brennan Hall

Eh, didn't love this place. Went on a Wednesday night, which would explain why it was nearly empty, but overall I didn't get great service from the bartender, and the whole place had a bit of a weird smell to it. But the beer list wasn't bad, and if you love soccer, this would be a solid place to go hang.

Jose Alfredo Cisneros

I was there yesterday for a game and ordered a bunch of drinks and food when all of a sudden I tried ordering 2 more drinks and the bartender asks me if I closed out already because he doesnt see my card. I told him no and he says well i dont see your name here and we dont have your card. I explained to him that I gave my card when I started ordering and I never closed it or got my card back. There should be no reason they dont have it. He simpy says we dont have your card are you sure you dont have it and forgot? Thats when I got upset and told him to keep looking and to ask the other bartenders. I couldnt believe he was trying to act as if I had the card and misplaced it. He starts looking around and they finally realize that one of the bartenders gave my card to another person and closed me out. Not only was this a huge inconvenience but to act as if I misplaced my card and trying to blame it on me was ridiculous! They gave me a half ass apology and simply said to write my number down and they'd call me if they happen to get my card back. Showing no sympathy whatsoever, not even offering to cover the rest of the night or at the very least offer shots or anything for the huge mix up they made. Will never go back there again! They need to learn to be more professional and somehow compensate the customer when they made such a huge mistake!
