Don’t have a ticket to the New York Mets’ home opener at Citi Field this Monday? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
On April 3 at 1:10 p.m., the Mets will start off their 2017 season by taking on their rivals, the Atlanta Braves, at Citi Field. With the game coming up soon, it’s time to figure out where you’ll be watching the game.
If you don’t want to end up watching the game at home, have no fear! From the stands to the big screens, here are 5 places in Queens where you can watch the Mets opening game.
1. McFadden’s Citi Field, 36-02 126th St., Flushing
Unless you have tickets for opening day, McFadden’s is as close to the game as you can get. With plenty of televisions and a lively crowd, McFadden’s is a great place for Mets fans to gather and watch the game. Doors open at 6 p.m., so come by and kick the season off right!
2. Austin’s Ale House, 82-70 Austin St., Kew Gardens
If you’re still looking to get tickets to the game, Austin’s Ale House has some tickets available! Ask the bartender or manager for information about tickets. Ticket purchases include one hour of drinking and a hot buffet before the game. If you aren’t looking for tickets, you can still watch the game at Austin’s!
3. Bourbon Street, 40-12 Bell Blvd., Bayside
Bell Boulevard’s small slice of New Orleans is also offering tickets for opening day! Swing by the Bourbon Street and inquire within if you want to join those at Citi Field for the big game. Don’t feel like going to Flushing? Bourbon Street will be playing the game on big screen TVs and projectors and are offering food and drink specials during the game!
4. O’Neill’s, 64-21 53rd Dr., Maspeth
Tons of Mets fans hang around O’Neill’s, making it an ideal place to watch the opening game. TVs line the walls and the bars at O’Neill’s, so you won’t miss one second of the game. Added bonus: the 1986 Mets used to hang out at O’Neill’s after games, so maybe their luck will rub off on the Mets this season!
5. Rocky McBrides, 27-01 23rd Ave., Astoria
With 22 high definition TVs and 16 beers on tap, what more could you want? Rocky McBrides offers a bright, cheery alternative to your usual dimly-lit pubs. Grab a beer and enjoy the game, you won’t be sorry!
