Known for combining elevated American dining, world-class cocktails, and a high-energy social atmosphere, the Flanker concept began in Salt Lake City in 2021, followed by the opening of its second location at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona – home of the Arizona Cardinals. The Glendale venue celebrates regional sports culture through elevated game-day dining, curated cocktails, and an energetic environment that extends beyond football season to include concerts, MLB Spring Training, and other major events.
The brand further expanded to Las Vegas in 2023, where Flanker at Mandalay Bay has become the premier sports bar on the Strip. The Las Vegas location has partnered with the UFC and the Las Vegas Raiders and earned multiple awards, including Best Sports Bar and Best Gametime Brunch. Together, these three destinations have established Flanker as a leading name in upscale sports and entertainment.
"The Seaport represents the best of New York, and it's a destination that continues to evolve within the city's social scene to offer unique events and experiences," said Matt Partridge, President and Chief Executive Officer of Seaport Entertainment Group. "We look forward to Flanker's opening as a standout addition to the downtown community that will further energize the waterfront and add more best-in-class culinary, entertainment, and sports experiences for everyone who comes to the neighborhood."
Flanker New York City will continue the Seaport's growth as one of New York City's leading dining and entertainment hubs, adding to the neighborhood's distinctive mix of history, character, and waterfront experiences. The two-level flagship, designed by the award-winning firm The Design Agency, will feature sweeping East River views and offer two distinct concepts and their own standalone, unique experiences under one roof.
Located on the ground floor, Flanker will offer elevated, cocktail-focused sports, dining, and tableside experiences, featuring state-of-the-art audiovisual production and dedicated areas for private events such as wedding after-parties, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, and special celebrations.
The second floor of the space will introduce The Hidden Boot Saloon, which includes three modern country bars – among them a 40-foot main bar overlooking the East River – and offers line dancing, a mechanical bull, and a country-style party atmosphere. The concept adds another dynamic music venue to the Seaport and builds on the success of the original Hidden Boot Saloon introduced at Flanker Salt Lake City, known for its western décor from the early 1950s combined with modern Utah design elements.
"There is nowhere like New York, a city that truly sets the standard for food and entertainment and has always been part of our long-term vision for Flanker," said Sean Christie, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Carver Road Hospitality. "Flanker is not just a sports bar; it's a fully immersive dining, cocktail, and entertainment experience that connects people through food, energy, and design. The Seaport is the perfect social setting to bring that vision to life in one of the city's most exciting destinations."
