Where to watch the U.S. Open tennis matches in NYC

The 30-foot Big Screen is back, towering over the Public Square & Gardens for a season-long run of free sports watch parties. Part of the Backyard at Hudson Yards programming, the Big Screen is showing a packed lineup through October, including the U.S. Open (Aug. 24–Sept. 7).

And if your preferred sport is “watching sports while snacking,” you're in luck. The surrounding plaza hosts food trucks serving gelato (Sogno Toscano), caramelized boba tea (Xing Fu Tang) and Van Leeuwen ice cream. The full schedule and updates are available at the Hudson Yards website.

Brookfield Place is serving up summer fun with a side of tennis. The downtown hub has once again transformed its scenic Waterfront Plaza into a pop-up center court for the 10th annual Brookfield Place Open, in partnership with the Tennis Channel. And yes, it's completely free to play.

Reserve your slot fast—each half-hour session allows 2–4 players, and space tends to go quickly. Walk-ups are welcome, but only if slots haven’t already been snagged.

Beyond the baseline, Brookfield Place is turning summer into a lifestyle. Post-match, swing by the Tartinery Shack for their exclusive Honey Dew Cooler, a refreshing U.S. Open-inspired cocktail made with fresh honeydew juice, mint, lime and soda water. Or, if you’re feeling fancy, head to Sixpoint Brewery for a Peach Melon Ball Spritz (Southern Tier vodka, melon liqueur, and brut Champagne—need we say more?).

The Brookfield Place Open 2025 runs through the end of August.

For the first time, Grey Goose is bringing its iconic U.S. Open cocktail—the Honey Deuce—out of Arthur Ashe Stadium and into the city’s busiest concourse with a limited-time bar pop-up.

Dubbed the "Last Serve Bar," the pop-up takes over the east side of Vanderbilt Hall from August 27–29, timed perfectly with the opening days of the Open.

Open daily from 5–8 pm and again from 10 pm–1 am, the bar will serve complimentary “tiny ’tini” samplers of both the Honey Deuce and another Grey Goose cult favorite, the Espresso Martini. Think of it as a nightcap with better lighting than the subway platform. With more than 60-percent of fans relying on mass transit to get to the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, Grand Central is basically the unofficial fifth stadium of the Open.

The Standard Hotel Biergarten is is bringing you full US Open coverage from August 24 to September 7 in their bustling, outdoor street-level venue. Located right under the the High Line in Chelsea, stop off and enjoy live match viewings with an iconic Honey Deuce, an Ace Paloma cocktail or their All Love mocktail from the bar. Honey Deuces and Ace Palomas are priced at $17, and the mocktail is $15. 

The Magic Hour Rooftop ontop of the Moxy Times Square is a popular destination for U.S. Open watch parties this year. The rooftops has amazing skyline views, a lively atmosphere and large screens made for group-watch hang-out sessions. Grab a Honey Deuce from the bar, watch some matches and hang out with fellow New Yorkers—without having to leave Manhattan. 

At this waterfront 6,000-square-foot restaurant from Financial District empire builder Abraham Merchant (Watermark Bar, Clinton Hall), you can be awed both by the incredible athleticism of the U.S. Open as well as panoramic views of the Brooklyn skyline. Through September 7, the venue will be serving their signature "Green Point" cocktail and a special panna cotta coconut dessert to celebrate.
