Seaport Entertainment Group and Carver Road Hospitality are bringing their award-winning Flanker Kitchen + Sports Bar to New York City’s Seaport District, marking the brand’s East Coast flagship. Set to open in Fall 2026, the 14,000-square-foot venue will rise on Pier 17, delivering Flanker’s signature mix of elevated American dining, craft cocktails, and high-energy social experiences directly to the waterfront.
Designed by DesignAgency, the two-level flagship will feature panoramic East River views and two distinct concepts under one roof. The ground floor will house the main Flanker Kitchen + Sports Bar—an upscale, cocktail-forward environment with state-of-the-art AV production and private event spaces—while the upper level will debut The Hidden Boot Saloon, a modern country venue featuring a 40-foot bar, line dancing, and a mechanical bull overlooking the river.
Originally launched in Salt Lake City in 2021, Flanker has since expanded to Las Vegas and Glendale, Arizona, earning recognition as one of the nation’s premier sports and dining concepts with partnerships ranging from the UFC to the Las Vegas Raiders. The new Seaport location continues this momentum, joining a neighborhood that has quickly become one of New York’s leading destinations for culinary and entertainment experiences.
“The Seaport represents the best of New York,” said Matt Partridge, CEO of Seaport Entertainment Group. “Flanker will be a standout addition to downtown, energizing the waterfront with best-in-class dining and entertainment.”
“There’s nowhere like New York,” added Carver Road Hospitality founder Sean Christie. “Flanker isn’t just a sports bar—it’s a fully immersive dining and social experience, and the Seaport is the perfect stage for that vision.”
