Arsenal Supporters Clubs And Soccer Bars In New York
Arsenal NYC
Let’s start with the big one. Welcome to Arsenal in the Big Apple. Arsenal NYC was started in 2007 and is now the largest Arsenal supporters club in the USA. The club’s rise in popularity in New York was helped massively by a certain Frenchman playing for the New York Red Bulls for a few years. Obviously, one pub would not be enough to hold this ever-expanding army of NYC Gooners. So that’s why there are a bunch of them. Jack Doyle’s in Midtown is always busy on game day, as is the East Village Arsenal pub, O’Hanlon’s on 14th Street.
The Highbury Pub on Cortelyou Road in Brooklyn was opened by Arsenal fan Jim Grimason who once had a side gig writing for First Touch. Paddy’s of Park Slope is another Brooklyn Arsenal bar with a special welcome for Gooners.
Arsenal fans in the Capitol City of Albany started in 2022 and became official a year later. They meet for games at local soccer bar Woolf’s Beirgarten on Broadway where you are encouraged to join them for all Arsenal live matches. The group also has a website where you can learn more about the club.
Drive a full day northwest from New York City and you’ll still be in New York. But you’ll be able to hang out with the Buffalo Gooners, one of the closest Arsenal clubs to the Canadian border. This group meets at Mes Que, a serious Buffalo soccer bar built by Barcelona fans – hence the Catalan name.
On the shore of Lake Ontario sits Rochester, NY, home of the Rochester Gooners. You can follow them on BlueSky. The Arsenal pub in Rochester is a traditional British pub called The Old Toad on Alexander Street. they serve all your favorite English dishes while also catering to vegetarians and vegans too. While you’re in Rochester, be sure to visit the Record Archive. It’s simply one of the best record shops in America. Ask Nick Hornby if you don’t believe us.
A short hop across the Finger Lakes region of New York brings you to the university town of Syracuse where, as in Albany, Wolff’s Biergarten lures in the local Arsenal fans with the promise of ‘German brews, plus sausages, peanuts, and soccer on TV’. What more could a Syracuse Gooner ask for?
