The new bar will be located in a 2,400-square-foot space with basement access, according to a press release. The bar's other New York City locations feature pool tables, outdoor terraces, brick oven pizza, beer on tap and flat screen televisions. Boxers NYC is often a meet-up spot for gay sports leagues, according to a press release.

Boxers NYC hopes to open in Washington Heights in the fall of 2018, according to a press release.
