Where To Watch The Knicks In The NBA Finals On Long Island

LONG ISLAND, NY — Knicks fans looking for a crowd to watch the rest of the NBA Finals have plenty of Long Island options, from packed sports bars and breweries to outdoor screens and waterfront venues.

New York leads the San Antonio Spurs 3-1 in the NBA Finals after a historic Game 4 comeback at Madison Square Garden. Game 5 is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Saturday, June 13, in San Antonio. Game 6, if necessary, would be played Tuesday, June 16, at 8:30 p.m., and Game 7, if necessary, would be Friday, June 19, at 8:30 p.m.

Unlike watch parties in New York City, Long Island’s Finals scene is mostly being driven by individual venues, restaurants, breweries and community groups, not one centralized Knicks or NBA suburban watch-party network. Fans should confirm hours, age rules, reservations, cover charges, weather plans and whether the game will be shown with sound before heading out.

Here are Long Island spots advertising Knicks Finals viewing parties or game-night specials:

Nassau County

Mulcahy’s Pub & Concert Hall, Wantagh

Mulcahy’s is one of the most structured Nassau County options, with official Knicks Finals viewing events advertised for the remaining possible games. The venue has promoted big screens, full sound, drink specials and game-night energy. Doors for remaining watch parties have been listed at 6:30 p.m., with the game at 8:30 p.m. Events are listed as 21 and over.

Lounge X, Great Neck

Lounge X in Great Neck is advertising a Game 5 watch party, including a ticketed charity fundraiser-style event. It is one of the clearest ticketed watch-party options in Nassau County for fans looking for a more organized event rather than a standard bar viewing.

Jonathan L. Ielpi Firefighters Park, Great Neck

The Great Neck Park District lists a Knicks Game 5 watch party at Jonathan L. Ielpi Firefighters Park on Grace Avenue from 8:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday. This is one of the more family/community-style Nassau options, but attendees should check park district updates before going.

The Main Event, Plainview

The Main Event is a more traditional sit-down sports-bar option for fans who want food, tables and plenty of screens. The venue has promoted Knicks Finals viewing, along with food and drink specials. It is a strong option for groups that want a less chaotic setup than a standing-room event.

Mojo RVC, Rockville Centre

Mojo RVC is promoting Knicks Finals viewing in downtown Rockville Centre. The venue offers more of a restaurant-and-bar atmosphere than a classic sports hall, making it a good choice for fans looking for a lively but not warehouse-sized crowd.

KC’s RVC, Rockville Centre

KC’s has been promoting rooftop Knicks watch-party energy during the Finals, including special game-night openings and drink specials. It is best treated as a day-of confirmation option, especially for if-necessary games, because regular hours and other scheduled events could affect how the game is shown.

Cooper Bluff, Oyster Bay

Cooper Bluff is one of the strongest outdoor options in Nassau County. The waterfront venue has promoted Knicks watch parties with a large outdoor screen setup, food and drinks. Because it is outdoor-focused, fans should check same-day weather and social media updates before going.

The Sunset Club at Tappen Beach, Sea Cliff

The Sunset Club has advertised Knicks Finals watch-party plans at Tappen Beach, giving fans another outdoor and waterfront option. As with other outdoor venues, weather and seating availability should be checked before heading over.

Brixx & Barley, Long Beach

Brixx & Barley has been part of the Long Beach Knicks watch-party scene, with social media posts promoting Finals viewing, no-cover messaging and reservations. It is a strong Nassau option for fans looking for a loud bar-and-restaurant crowd with food, drinks and Knicks energy.

Suffolk County

Bull Smith’s Tavern, Smithtown

Bull Smith’s Tavern has been promoting Knicks playoff and Finals watch-party energy in Smithtown. The sports bar is a strong Suffolk choice for fans who want a traditional tavern atmosphere, late hours and a crowd that is there for the game.

Great South Bay Brewery, Bay Shore and Ronkonkoma

Great South Bay Brewery has advertised Knicks viewing at its locations, with big-screen game watching and brewery-style atmosphere. The venue has also promoted Knicks-themed specials, including discounts for fans wearing Knicks gear.

The Spread Bar & Grill, Lindenhurst

The Spread has become one of Suffolk’s more visible Knicks watch-party spots, with outdoor viewing, a giant screen setup and giveaway-style game-night energy. It is one of the better options for fans looking for an outdoor, festival-style watch party rather than a standard sports bar.

Breakers Burrito Bar, Lindenhurst

Breakers Burrito Bar has also been part of the Lindenhurst Knicks Finals crowd, promoting game-night viewing with food and drinks. It is a more casual option for fans who want to stay in the Lindenhurst area before or after the game.

Finnegan’s, Huntington

Finnegan’s, part of the Lessing’s Hospitality Group, is advertising NBA Finals specials during all Knicks games, including $1 wings, $5 domestic drafts and $25 buckets of five High Noons. It is a practical Huntington option for fans looking for a bar-and-food setup.

Post Office Café, Babylon

Post Office Café in Babylon is also advertising Finals specials during all Knicks games, including $1 wings, $5 domestic drafts and $25 High Noon buckets. It gives Babylon-area Knicks fans a local Lessing’s option without heading farther west.

Other spots to check

Several other Long Island restaurants, breweries and sports bars have been showing Knicks games throughout the playoffs and Finals, including Main Event locations, Croxley’s Ale House, Tap Room locations, RC Dugans and other neighborhood bars.

The key question for fans is not just whether a venue has a TV, but whether the game will be on with sound, whether seating is available, and whether the venue is treating it as a watch party.

For Game 5, fans looking for the safest structured event should start with Mulcahy’s in Wantagh, Lounge X in Great Neck, Great Neck’s Firefighters Park, Cooper Bluff in Oyster Bay, The Spread in Lindenhurst, Great South Bay Brewery, Bull Smith’s Tavern, Finnegan’s or Post Office Café.

If the series returns for Game 6 or Game 7, fans should confirm plans again. Some venues are advertising all remaining Knicks games, while others are rolling out watch-party details game by game.
