3 Sheets Saloon
7.9
3 Sheets is a rowdy, two-floor sports bar known for long happy hours, beer pong tables, and reliably crispy wings. The menu leans classic—buffalo wings, tots, and nachos—backed by half-priced bar deals that keep NYU students and budget-minded regulars coming back.
Must-Try Dishes:
Buffalo wings (single or double orders), Sweet Thai chili or BBQ wings, Truffle fries or loaded tots

What makes it special: Happy hour runs long, with cheap drinks and big baskets of wings in a party-bar setting.
Who should go: Students and groups prioritizing value and energy over polish.
When to visit: Late afternoon into early evening for overlapping specials.
What to order: Double order of wings, beer pitchers, truffle fries.
Insider tip: If you want space for beer pong and wings, head upstairs early before primetime.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive in the Village; expect metered spots to fill by late afternoon. Closest reliable option is paid garages along West 3rd and LaGuardia Place.
Dress code: Very casual—hoodies, jerseys, and jeans are standard. No need to dress up unless you're heading out afterward.
Noise level: Loud during happy hour and late nights; conversational only at off-peak times.
Weekend wait: 15–30 minutes for larger groups, but bar standing room is usually available.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait, though the bar is quieter and food service is limited before peak hours.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—tater tots, nachos, mozzarella sticks, and several bar snacks work for vegetarians.
Vegan options: Very limited; fries and some sides may qualify but options are minimal and not labeled as vegan.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free program; wings are not guaranteed GF and cross-contamination is likely.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Usually no—it's rowdy, student-heavy, and loud. Better for casual hangs than romantic conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—3 Sheets does not rely on reservations. Arrive before peak happy hour to secure a table, especially on weekends.
Is it kid-friendly? Not ideal—this is a college-focused bar with drinking games, loud music, and late-night crowds. Suitable only for adults.
Best For
Better for: Budget-friendly pitchers, long happy hours, and high-energy group outings compared to more polished Village sports bars.
Skip if: You want quieter dining, craft-focused wings, or a more refined atmosphere—other Village spots offer calmer experiences.
