"A welcome change-up from Greenpoint’s eponymous dive bar scene, Red Star claims the big three of large-scale sports bars. It’s big, clean, and loaded with flat-screens, while pressed-tin walls, a notoriously friendly staff, and a café-esque second floor that frequently hosts live-band and comedy shows inject local character into all that plasma. Solid pub grub is also a bonus. Notable offerings include hefty boneless chicken wings and the minorly-famous cowboy burger, a $13 behemoth draped in barbecue sauce, cheddar cheese and “frizzled” onions." CBS
