nyNe might be a sports bar aimed mostly at women, but that doesn't mean the rest of us can't go there.

Because, as far as a bar for watching sports go, nyNe is not too bad at all. The interiors are very well thought out, giving the spot more of a high end feel than their counterparts. Brick and tall ceiling with exposed wood beams marry a well stocked bar with a decidedly modern feel. A good handful of TVs are evenly spread around the open space, and we certainly had no issues watching that evening's Zags game.

There is a handful of taps in the bar, a couple of which were good, including Clem's Gold, a Lagunitas IPA and Negra Modelo to spice it up a bit. It's not a beer bar, and you might be better off going with a cocktail.

The food, meanwhile, was actually surprisingly good. One might not set the bar too high for any sports bar, but our pita platter was pretty fresh tasting—although the pitas probably came straight from Sysco—and a good alternative to the typical greasy stuff you get in places like this. Good prices, too, most items rolling in under $10.

nyNe's a good spot. We like it. It's laidback and does what it does well, and that's all we need.
