A new kind of sports bar is set to change the game on the Lower East Side.

Opening October 29, One4One brings a high-design, members’ club sensibility to classic game day energy.

Set on the corner of Bowery at 141 Chrystie Street, the two-story, 3,200-square-foot townhouse has been completely reimagined to feel like a luxe clubhouse. The unassuming black facade gives way to a long, narrow hallway designed to mimic a team entrance tunnel, leading guests into a moody interior that looks more like a cocktail lounge than a sports bar. Each one of the two 1,600-square-foot floors is packed with details that somehow marry the two concepts, with chandeliers dangling above art hanging beside sports memorabilia: including the 2000 Olympic torch carried by co-founder Dylan Hales’ father.

Instead of sticky floors and neon beer signs, expect sunken leather seating, a theater-sized projection screen and a bar that mixes craft cocktails alongside beer and whiskey. The usual chicken wings, mozzarella sticks and smash burgers get an appropriate upgrade as well, in keeping with a focus on polished comfort.

While the design is refined, the space keeps its sports soul. Multiple screens throughout the bar will stream different live games simultaneously, but with a cinematic, curated feel rather than wall-to-wall noise. Guests can lounge in deep, curved couches or gather around communal tables for big match moments. Upstairs, a second bar and seating area bring a more intimate, lounge-like vibe for post-game drinks and late-night hangs.

Founders Ronnie Flynn and Dylan Hales have built a reputation for crafting places that feel lived-in from day one, and One4One continues that ethos, offering a space that’s part clubhouse, part cocktail den and all New York attitude.
