There's a pub called Fitzgralds what sot of claims to be Stoke city pub but whenever I have been there nobody has seemed terribly interested.

fitzgeralds isnt as good as it used to be for stokies,if you call in the churchill pub ,scott robinson is a part owner of this pub ,he was one of the stokies who adopted fitzgeralds as a stoke pub. he will help you out concerning a good place to watch stoke.

The guy who ran fitzgeralds left and was managing the football factory when i went 2 years ago. It is right by the empire state building downstairs. Decent pub

I'll be in New York/Manhattan next week lads and will have a look around. Nice little vacation, haven't walked around the city for almost 15 years (just the airports) so should be interesting...

Not a stoke pub but one defiantly worth a pint in is jack dempseys. Loads of boxing memorabilia on the walls etc and bar staff superb. P.S it helps if your into boxing

Play it safe and go to the football factory, i turned up at Fitzgeralds recently looking for the match and the bar tender looked at me like i'd landed from Pluto, it ain't a Stoke pub!
Football Factory is ran by a Villa fan but will show every match being played on there various screens. NY Stokies i generally found to be a waste of space i'm afraid…
