After Islanders bar Offside_Tavern closed, its owner tweeted at the team about reopening inside its new arena. Now as UBSArena opens, it's actually happening. joedelessio reports
Nick Costa at UBS Arena, where his Offside Tavern is reopening. Photo: Courtesy of New York Islanders Nick Costa describes himself as “one of those crazy, psychotic, die-hard Islander fans where the first thing I do in the morning is check on Isles news, and then I make sure my kids are okay, in that order.” And so when he left his job managing Off the Wagon on MacDougal Street to open his own spot in 2017, he knew he wanted it to be an Islanders bar.
That might have been the end of Offside Tavern’s story, if not for a tweet Costa sent last October, responding to a photo of a space reserved for a bar inside the Islanders’ new arena, which was then under construction. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much were you kidding when you sent that tweet last year about reopening the bar inside the Islanders’ new arena?
