Ainsworth Park, a Monster Sports Bar in the Kibo Space

Grid View

Here's a look around Ainsworth Park, a new bar and restaurant in the space the formerly housed Japonais and Steve Hanson's short-lived project Kibo. This is the third location of Matt Shendell's somewhat upscale sports bar concept (the original location is in Chelsea, and there's another inside MSG). The menu features bar bites like disco fries and tuna tartare tacos (so popular these days), plus sandwiches, burgers, pizzas, and entrees priced in the $20 - $26 range. There are 65 (!) TVs scattered throughout the space, so you should have no problem watching sports wherever you sit. Ainsworth Park is now open for dinner and brunch. Check out the menus:
