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.
