Highlights

    Detailed Guide

    Nestled in Williamsburg's vibrant heart, Emblem Sports Bar blends the grit of a classic Brooklyn tavern with modern craft beverage culture. This brick-and-tile-walled haven at 187 Graham Ave transforms sports viewing into a communal art form, where 21 flat screens glow like stained glass for devoted fans[1][2].

    Game-Day Atmosphere
    The space hums with energy from its 30-foot handmade concrete bar – a runway for rotating craft brews like Jack's Abby Pilsner ($7) and experimental cocktails like the Passion Fruit Moscow Mule ($13)[3]. While the indoor picnic tables foster camaraderie during Knicks games, the hidden gem remains the year-round backyard beer garden, where string lights twinkle above heated tents during winter months[1][5].

    Culinary Playbook
    Beyond typical pub fare, Emblem surprises with gourmet twists:

    • Blackened shrimp baskets with Cuban-style yucca[2]
    • Vegan-friendly options marked clearly on menus[3]
    • Shareable boards perfect for pairing with their 16-tap lineup[1]

    Event Ready
    More than just a bar, this versatile space converts into:

    Conveniently located near the L/G/J/M subway lines, Emblem's industrial-chic space (renovated in 2017) maintains Brooklyn authenticity while offering $35/person catering packages for events[4][5]. As day games fade to night, the venue morphs into a neighborhood living room where craft beer aficionados clink glasses under the soft glow of Edison bulbs – a testament to Williamsburg's evolving social tapestry.
