Rogue

Chelsea / Flatiron, New York –

Dedicated sports fans and singles looking for a pickup scene should head to Rogue, a vast and dimly-lit sports bar offering late-night Happy Hours, simple bar food, and a rambunctious clientele.

A large projection screen and eight flat-screen TVs ensure that no one misses a moment of the games, boxing matches, and UFC fights that bring in hordes of jocks for some rowdy celebration, while a lively patio and nightly drink specials keep the after-work contingent coming back for more.

Those in the mood for a bite to eat and some heated sports talk can settle in at the dimly-lit tables, though the real action is at the long bar where outer-borough partiers and local young professionals meet and mingle over neon martinis.

Things get louder as the screens turn to music videos and a DJ spinning tunes from the balcony transforms Rogue from a testosterone-fueled sports bar to a hopping singles scene that lasts until the wee hours.
