Where to Watch UFC in NYC Before the Afterparty at Sapphire
Why Sapphire Is Different for UFC Fans
Sapphire isn’t a sports bar that happens to throw the fights on. It’s a full-scale gentlemen’s club that treats UFC nights like an event. You get big screens and pro-level sound. You get VIP tables and booth seating. You get bottle service and hosts who keep your drinks flowing.
Then there’s the Sapphire Gems. Between rounds and long cards, the dancers keep the room buzzing – so even the slow build fights feel like part of a bigger night out. Once the final round ends, the afterparty doesn’t start. You’re already in it.
Where to Watch the UFC in NYC
Want to watch every punch, kick, and takedown in comfort? Lock in a table at one of the 3 Sapphire clubs. Start the evening with a steakhouse-level dinner at Primal Cut next to Sapphire 60, then walk straight into your reserved spot for the walkouts.
Or roll into Sapphire 39 or Sapphire Times Square with your crew, claim your table, and let the staff handle the rest – from bottles and mixers to late-night bites. If you’ve already got a favorite sports bar for the early prelims, no problem. Treat it as a warm-up. Once the main event wraps, Sapphire is where the real victory lap happens.

How to Plan Your UFC Night & Afterparty
Sapphire 60 on the Upper East Side, Sapphire 39 in Midtown, and Sapphire Times Square give you the best of both worlds: a proper view of the card on big screens, plus a full club experience waiting the second the main event is over.
Planning your UFC night at Sapphire is simple: Book a table or VIP package in advance so you’re not rolling the dice on walk-ins. Check the Events calendar for UFC nights and special appearances. Bring your crew, arrive a little early, get comfortable, and let Sapphire handle the viewing, the service, and the afterparty.
