You don’t have to go all the way to Arthur Ashe Stadium to catch the action of the 2026 US Open, which runs from August 23 to September 13. Skip the tickets and head to one of the city’s watch parties instead, where you’ll find everything from a recreation of the iconic player tunnel for photo opps to your chance to try the US Open’s viral Honey Deuce cocktail. 

All summer long, NYC’s best sports bars have been holding it down with huge screens and drink specials. As the season of sports is winding down, you can head back to your favorite watering hole to catch a few more games, or try one of these activations and US Open-themed watch parties. Whether you’re catching a match on a 30-foot outdoor screen or putting your own spin on a game of Red Ball tennis, these bars, restaurants and rooftop watch parties are more than the next-best thing to Arthur Ashe Stadium: they’re destinations themselves.

Where to watch US Open matches

1. Lucky Tiger

This year, cocktail bar Lucky Tiger is screening every US Open match. On weekends from noon–4pm, you can score 90 minutes' worth of bottomless drinks for $35 when you buy any brunch item, so you can try their twists on the Honey Deuce and Ace Paloma. For evening sessions of the US Open, drink your way through their bar menu and snack on small plates like coconut miso shrimp and Korean short rib bao buns while you watch the players battle it out on the courts.

2. Arlo Hotels

Both the Arlo Williamsburg and Arlo NoMad are partnering with Grey Goose for their watch parties, serving up authentic Honey Deuces (complete with tennis ball-shaped melon, of course!). On September 2 from 4–6pm, Grey Goose will be hosting events at the Arlo with merch giveaways, including the signature Honey Deuce cups served at Arthur Ashe. If you want to get in on the action yourself, head to Arlo Williamsburg to play a friendly game of ping-pong.

Catch every match on the big screens at this bar inside the Moxy NYC Downtown. Their all-day specials include the Honey Deuce, along with a Patrón Paloma with grapefruit soda, lime and salt, plus a Berry Rouge Royale made with Grey Goose Berry Rouge, lemonade and bubbly rosé. Designed as a “living room for the neighborhood,” Recreation’s the perfect place to watch the game while playing one of your own: shuffleboard, Skee-Ball and even a single-hoop basketball court are all on the menu. 

4. Hudson Yards

Head to this free, weeklong activation at Hudson Yards to play Red Ball tennis, test your digital backhand in tennis-themed video games, shop exclusive merch and watch ESPN’s coverage of the Men’s and Women’s finals matches on a 30-foot outdoor screen. Before you find your seat, sip on a Grey Goose Honey Deuce cocktail and pose for photos while you walk a recreation of the player tunnel at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The activation is open daily from 11am–8pm, and the full schedule and registration for games can be found at the Hudson Yards website

5. The Standard Biergarten

The Standard Hotel Biergarten is bringing you US Open coverage in its bustling, outdoor street-level venue. Located right under the High Line in Chelsea, you can stop off and enjoy live match viewings with US Open-themed drinks or beers with sausages and pretzels.

6. Magic Hour Rooftop

Magic Hour Rooftop will play the US Open matches on ten giant TVs on the 18th floor, although it might be hard to concentrate on the games with the incredible view of the Empire State Building behind them. They’re serving up the Honey Deuce in a souvenir cup, along with a sparkling paloma and glasses of Moët Imperial Brut to toast to your favorite players.

At this waterfront 6,000-square-foot restaurant from Financial District empire builder Abraham Merchant, you can be awed both by the incredible athleticism of the US Open as well as panoramic views of the Brooklyn skyline. They’ve transformed the space into a tennis-themed wonderland with oversized racquets and a “Courtside Menu” with drinks like the Sour Apple “Martennis” and food including a Tennis Ball Sundae.
