Booths from $150

The bar down its length in the evening, screens showing live sport above the bottle shelves, upholstered stools along a dark stone counter, a fire and the last of the sunset beyond

Every game, from a booth of your own

Sports Viewing Lounge

Reserve a booth

Open daily from noon. Eight booths, each with its own screens and its own sound.

What a booth costs

The room

Watch your game with the sound on

Eight booths around one room, each with its own screens and its own directional audio, so two parties four feet apart can watch two different games and hear their own. You reserve the booth, not a stool, and nobody stands behind it.

One booth with a large screen and a pair of smaller screens beside it, a whisky, a martini and a bowl of olives on the low table
One booth, four to six seats
A three-panel screen wall above a banquette, basketball on the upper panel and football and golf below it

What a booth costs

What a booth costs, hour by hour

The price of a booth is a minimum, not a fee, and it moves with the hour because that is when the room fills. A minimum is what the whole party spends at the booth on food and drink. It is not per person, and anything you order counts toward it.

Daytime, until five

Afternoon fixtures and anything on early. The room is half empty and the minimum says so.

$150 minimum for the booth

Early evening, five to eight

The hour either side of dinner, when most of the room is eating rather than watching.

From $200 minimum for the booth

Evening, eight to midnight

The one everybody wants, and the one that goes first on a Saturday.

From $350 minimum for the booth

Late, after midnight

Anything played on the other side of the world. The kitchen is on a short menu by then.

From $200 minimum for the booth

What a booth gives you

  • Four screens

    Directly in front of the booth, and yours to choose.

  • Four to six seats

    Booths 1 and 8 take six. The rest take four.

  • Noon to 2 a.m.

    Daily, and the kitchen runs the whole time.

  • Minimum spend

    From $150 for the booth, not per person.

  • All ages until eight

    Twenty-one and over after that.

Groups

Take the whole room

Thirty-six seats, all eight booths and the bar, for a final or for a group that does not want to share the sound. Every screen goes to one fixture, or to eight, as you want it.

The whole room is $2,200 minimum early and $3,600 minimum in the evening. It is not offered in the daytime or after midnight, because neither is worth closing the room for.

Ask about the whole room

At the booth

Eating at the lounge

The kitchen runs the whole time the room is open, on a menu built to be eaten watching something: things that come on one plate and do not need a knife. A short version of it takes over after midnight.

Everything ordered at the booth counts toward the minimum, including the first round.

Before you book

What is on

Whatever is being played is listed when you choose a time. If the fixture you want is not listed, the room can usually get it, and asking a day ahead is the difference between yes and no.

Children

All ages until eight, and twenty-one and over after that. An afternoon fixture is the one to bring a family to.

Canceling

Free until 4 p.m. on the day. After that half the minimum is charged, because a booth held through a Saturday evening is a booth nobody else could take.

Getting in and around

Step-free from the lobby. Booths 1 and 8 have a level approach and no fixed seating on one side, which makes them the two that take a wheelchair without moving furniture. Say so when you reserve.

First word on offers, openings and what is on

Seasonal rates before they are published, the new season at Vera, and what is coming to Euphoria and Zephyr Theatre. About one email a month, and you can leave the list from any of them.
