Even the non-gold covered wings are delicious. Very dark inside but I'm guessing that's part of the ambience.

The Classic Works Burger was topped with American cheese , lettuce, onion , and bacon . Delicious, delicious bacon . I was floored by how much I enjoyed it. Read more

Erik Cintron

It's a confused bar that wants to be a sports bar/lounge and fine dining . Waitress was clueless. Very pricey , came for the Mac & cheese burger and it was amazing, that it's go once better bars around

Maria Henkel

The Ainsworth brunch plate was classic and delicious, the perfect amount of food! Would have been great with a slice of avo on the side ????

Hotel Indigo

Elevated bar food such a lobster or crab cake sliders , lamb burgers , and mahi-mahi wraps make it a gal-friendly place for watching sports on the 40-plus flat screens .

Jane Katz

it's definitely a fratty sports bar scene but the burgers and fries are surprisingly good. Same goes for the buffalo cauliflower which is served in a bath of bleu cheese #can'tgowrong

Connie Weng

Honestly, I just come here to people watch - it's a decent-looking and, for the most part, decently dressed crowd that comes here. And I like the fact that there's candy in the bathrooms .

PureWow

The Mac & Cheese Burger : Honestly, this burger probably isn’t the classiest choice on the list, but we can’t say no to anything smothered in cheese . Might want to get some napkins. Read more

Raphael Langenscheidt

Roll, Tide, roll! Go on Saturdays for the ultimate southern college football experience. Skip the cheese dip , but do not skip the steak skewers .

Sam Winnick

Fun sports bar with clubby music . Mac and cheese burger is a must. Chicken fingers are good too.

Gilt City

A state-of-the-art sound system (enhanced by multiple hi-def plasmas) makes this restaurant one of the city ’s best venues for watching the big game. (The crab cakes with saffron aioli don't hurt.)

Maria Reyna

Nice place to have a beer or a quick dinner . The music was a bit loud but I loved the ambient

Jason McKinney

PSA: Ainsworth used to have amazing nachos and wings . They NO longer serve them. According to the staff they are transitioning from a sports bar to a steak house .

J T

Food was pretty good. Open space and pretty big. Not a bad place to meet with friends. Not cozy enough for a date spot . Quick drink would be ok at the bar .

James Ryan Sloan

Gilt.com had a great deal with unlimited mimosas . Should b on regular menu. But get truffled goat cheese sandwich at brunch . French toast not as good. Played great 90's mix.

Kim Thomas

Classy spot to watch the game and the Italian Burger is no joke. Ask for sweet potato fries !

Heath Terry

The official home of Alabama football in NYC every Saturday in the fall. Check out uanyc.com for details and be sure to order the spicy chicken fingers & sliders and get your beer by the bucket.

Ken Pierre II

Awesome sports bar ! TVs are everywhere and the food is amazing!

DoubleDeuce

Classy place with giant ceilings. Alabama bar too so check the game schedule if you don't want to get caught up.

Heath Terry

The bartenders make Yellowhammer's, Tuscaloosa's official, un-official game day drink . Get one and be glad you didn't have to brave the bathrooms at Gallette's to do it.

Matt Miller

Great brunch spot . Be sure to ask for Whitney - one of the coolest bartenders I've met in a while.

Ricky Sherrill

A good place to catch a game (SEC Football ). You have to try the Mac n Cheeseburger .

Cole ONeal

Great food and plenty of Alabama fans to watch the game with!! Always on my list when I'm visiting.

Jess

Try the "Big Love" cocktail . Brugal Extra Dry, Pineapple , Bitters , Mint , Simple Syrup , Fresh lime juice ...it's delish! 

Carli D

A good spot to grab a drink with friends - but I find the constant lines and need for reservations to get in a bit tedious. Avoid on game days.

Lorena M.

Atmosphere. Good sports bar , football Sunday!!

CBS New York

The Ainsworth is offering Stella Draft and Loaded French Fries for Ales N' Apps Week (May 9-13)

Justa Dood

Anna is an amazing server! Always a smile and excellent service! Ask for her when you come here

TK ????????

This place has a disastrous wine selection . Also, their well alcohols are abominations. If you MUST eat here, upgrade to the name brand liquors .

aanwar

Go for the Mac and Cheese Burger !

SmartBarCrawls

The buckets of beer are a good deal . They also have decent wine options and great food for a sports bar . Enjoy!

Serge Kassardjian

On a Sunday for football , they wouldnt let two guys in because they were wearing football jerseys. And its a "sports " bar-pretty much sums this place up

The Corcoran Group

Crimson Tide fans congregrate here to watch every Bama football game! Start with happy hour and stay for delicious American Pub fare.

Karl With A "K"

Nice atmosphere. Very roomy and has great service to match.

Christopher Salonia

Get the gold chicken wings , you won’t regret it ;)

Elissa Burnell

The atmosphere is kinda hilarious -- club feel and clothing wrapped in a sports bar -- and the food is pretty good!

Cole Kennedy

Ever wanted to know where every Vineyard Vines wearing, wannabe fund manager in NYC goes? You found it!

your entertainment guides

Huge space , it's pretty much a sports bar that's been dressed up, but the drinks and food both deliver . Don't leave without trying their Grand Ginger drink

Nicolette Romero

Upscale sports bar with a ton of flat screens ! Great place to catch the game. ????

Simran Dass

This place was way too loud . We were yelling over the music the entire time. The chicken skewers were ok - too spicy . Seemed like a cool place to go with a big group for a game, but not in general

Megan M

Great place to watch a game, tons of tv 's, great happy hour ($3 drafts ) and awesome food!!

Jerry Almazan

Philly slider ! Order from Sam at the bar ! A gorgeous chick that has gorgeous purrs!!!!!!!

Andie Estes

Mac and cheese burger or the fried chicken and waffles
