My Bar Headquarters alone carries over 22,000 Google reviews, and reviewers specifically call out its live IPL screenings, while The Hangar Lounge & Bar has kept a 4.9 rating even though one recent review flagged its projector struggling to keep up during a Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka match.

Short answer: My Bar Headquarters in Connaught Place is the most-reviewed sports bar in Delhi at over 22,000 reviews, praised for its live match screenings during tournaments like the IPL. Monkey Bar in Vasant Kunj holds the strongest all-round rating on this list at 4.3 stars, and Yes Minister Bowling, Bar & Kitchen combines match-day screens with bowling lanes. Expect roughly ₹400 to ₹2,000 per person depending on the venue and night.

Our take: The pick if you want to watch a match without spending big. It ranks below the top names here on rating, but the value-for-money feedback is consistent enough that it's worth it for a casual night.

Monkey Bar

4.34,758 Google reviews

Monkey Bar in Vasant Kunj is a gastropub known for its distinctive triangular glass architecture and an in-house pool table and foosball setup that reviewers call out as a genuine draw. Run by the Olive Bar and Kitchen group, which also operates several other Delhi venues, it leans toward a social, games-and-drinks evening rather than being a dedicated match-viewing spot. It holds the highest rating on this list.

What people praise

  • Highest rating on this page at 4.3 stars
  • Free pool table and foosball table on site
  • Distinctive glass-pyramid building with good daytime light
  • Fast, attentive service noted across multiple reviews

Worth knowing

  • Some reviewers find drink pricing high relative to portion size
  • Better suited to games and hangouts than dedicated match screenings

Our take: The best-rated name here, though it's really a games-and-drinks bar first rather than a screens-and-cricket destination. Go for the pool table and the architecture, not specifically for the match.

Our take: The pick if your group wants games and activities alongside the match, not just seats facing a screen. Reserve ahead if bowling is part of the plan, since lane waits add up fast.

Our take: The top-rated option here and a genuine sports bar by Google's own classification, but worth knowing at least one recent reviewer wasn't impressed with the screening quality on a big match. Confirm the setup suits your match before committing a whole group.

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the venue’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Delhi sports bars. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.3 from thousands of reviews carries more weight than a 4.9 from a small handful. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a night at a Delhi sports bar cost? (2026)

Prices reported by reviewers on this page vary mostly by venue and whether there’s an activity like bowling attached, along with the usual difference between a weekday visit and a big match night.

Budget bar, per person₹400 to ₹800
Mid-range bar or gastropub, per person₹800 to ₹1,600
Bowling bar or hotel lounge, per person₹1,600 to ₹2,000+

Ranges compiled July 2026 from the ‘Price per person’ figures customers reported directly in Google reviews for the venues on this page. Match nights and bowling sessions typically push the bill toward the higher end.

What to ask before you pick a Delhi sports bar for match day

  • How many screens do they have, and can everyone in your group see one clearly?
  • Do they take reservations for big matches, or is it first-come, first-served?
  • Is there a cover charge or minimum spend on major match nights?
  • If bowling or games are part of the venue, how long is the typical wait for a lane?
  • Are service charges added automatically to the bill?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these sports bars?

We started from bars in Delhi with a public Google presence and a sports-bar classification or clear match-viewing setup, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date, July 2026 on this page. We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Which Delhi sports bar is best for watching cricket in a big group?

My Bar Headquarters has the deepest track record for match-day crowds, with reviewers specifically calling out its live IPL screenings and space for large groups.

Are any of these good for more than just watching the match?

Yes. Yes Minister Bowling, Bar & Kitchen adds bowling lanes and Monkey Bar has a pool table and foosball, so both work if your group wants activities alongside the drinks.

The bottom line

My Bar Headquarters is the safe default for a big match with a big crowd, while Monkey Bar is the pick if you’d rather watch it beat you at pool between overs. Book ahead for any of these on major match nights, since seating goes fast.
