Where To Watch The Knicks Finals On The Upper East Side

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — Whether you're a long-suffering fan or just jumping on the bandwagon now, there are plenty of places to watch the first Knicks' finals since 1999 without leaving the Upper East Side.

The NBA Finals are currently underway, with the New York Knicks leading the San Antonio Spurs 1–0 after winning the first game on Wednesday.

Upcoming games are scheduled for Friday, June 5, in San Antonio, and in New York on Monday, June 8 and Wednesday, June 10. All Finals games are set for 8:30 p.m.

There's a massive watch party happening outside of Madison Square Garden, but if standing outside in Midtown isn't your thing, there are several sports bars on the Upper East Side primed for the tip-off. Just make sure you get there early enough to get a good spot.

Here are some area sports bars with enough screens that you won’t miss a play:

• East End Bar & Grill (1672 3rd Ave.)
• Meller’s Sports Hub and Grill (1702 2nd Ave.)
• Hendrickson's NYC (1122 First Ave.)
