About this business

An excellent addition to New York's continually evolving night scene, Ainsworth is an upscale restaurant and sports bar which has quickly become the talk of town. The decadence and chicness of this bar isn't undermined by the after-work crowd which packs a mix of sophisticates, beer heads and sports nuts. Sprawled across 6,000 square feet, and boasting of 40-television screens, Ainsworth's rustic decor is superbly complemented by the aged pine walls, chocolate leather seats, chandeliers and amber lights.The menu has a limite... read more

Lots of TVs... but why are they all playing the same thing? – Ah, Ainsworth. You confuse me. Nice decor, large enough to host big parties, tasty bar food and reasonable drink prices. Oh, and TVs, lots of them. Seems to be this place's claim to fame. Perhaps it was an isolated incident but when I was there with a group of friends, every TV was playing the same thing. Pretty awesome if it's a big event you happen to be interested in. But, if you're looking for a bunch of Sunday football games or a variety of sports, you are fr... read more

GREAT NEW PLACE!!!! – I love sports but hate sports bars. But I decided to give The Ainsworth a try because it is described as "upscale". And it definitely is - the ambiance is nice, the decor is classy, and the menu is pricey. In general, much better than the average sports bar, but without the sweaty men and cheap beer if that's what you're looking for.

An Overall First Class Restaurant! – I decided to come check this place out after continuous mention about how great this place is, from a bunch of my friends,...and to my delight all the hype was actually true! My friends and I came after work sometime last week.. We ordered the pear-apple crush martinis, the acai eco-tinis, and the lantern, and of course yummied them all right up! Then we ordered a margarita pizza, which was excellent, the mac & cheese, another fav, and sweet potato wedges...and when I tell you how great t... read more

Super Fast Delivery! – Ok so I'm really not the review type, but it's Friday, and well a little procrastination from work can't heard right? ... Let me just start by saying, working in Chelsea has tons of pros and cons, but the one thing it's been lacking is good lunch spots that deliver! Fortunately, my friend told me about this place, and although I have yet to check it out in person, I know I am going to very soon as i was totally impressed with the delivery process...good phone person, she actually understood my order an... read more

Good Brunch Atmosphere and Food – I brought my family into The Ainsworth a month ago for Brunch and I was a little skeptical if the food was going to be good, since I had only been at night. To my mother's approval, the maple fondue was scrumptous and the french toast was soo good! When my family comes back to visit, they said to remember this place to bring them again for a great late morning bite to eat

Brunch Gem – I've visited The Ainsworth quite a few times for games, happy hour, etc. and have always been more than satisfied. Great vibe, good food, amazing clientèle, an overall good time. One of the last times I was here, I happened to notice the brunch menu. This passed Sunday a group of girlfriends and I (10 of us total) decided to make our weekend ritual at this sports bar meets lounge for an afternoon of drinking and gabbing. Not only was the food hot and delicious (Maple Fondue is DEF the way to go), the service was... read more

Nice Happy Hour – Let's face it, this place is always crowded! But, come in for happy hour and it's a completely different scene. It's not super crowded yet, and they actually have really decent drink specials. I LOVE the watermelontini ($5 during HH). Not to mention the Lobster Cobb Salad is AMAZING!

Great find in Chelsea area – I work right down the road from The Ainsworth and I fell upon it last week , came if for the NCAA tournament. I couldn't believe all of the TVs they had, great place to watch a sports game. I ordered a good thai salad and my buddy got one of the shrimp quesadilla specials, great place!

Killer Cocktails! – I went in to the this place with a bunch of friends and ordered some of their speciality cocktails (I think its on the back of the menu if I remember correctly) and they were all very tasty. Not too sweet or over the top, strong enough etc. The one with Jameson in it was my personal favorite..
