Ice View Sports Bar & Grill

I am little bit of the odd one out at Ice View since I am (1) a lady (2) not a hockey player. But, it's a great place to watch friends play hockey. Good beer, clean taps, and famous for their wings. Which sell like wildfire after the games.

Alright, I'm biased on this one. I frequented this place several times a week for a solid four years. As a fervent hockey player, there was nothing more welcoming than a pint and some wings after a hard evening of hitting the ice.

Only a few weaknesses here. First of all, there's no hard liquor, just beer and wine. Though this admittedly might be a good thing given the potential rowdiness of a post-hockey game crowd. Also, this is not the place to go if you're trying to pick up girls, because frankly, there are none.

Anyway, I do love the wings here, clearly the best this bar has to offer. Both the spicy and the honey barbecue are equally excellent, and they're rather cheap. $13 gives you a big plate of 24 wings by my last check. Clutch bar favorites here also include the nachos and the shoestring fries. And for the less calorie desperate, you can always get a sandwich or a salad.

I think it's fair to say it's more than just the hockey bar upstairs, it's a fun bar worthy of a standalone trip.

I don't go here to watch the game (on tv or on the ice) or hangout at the bar. I come here for the awesome food. A little gem in my opinion the Ice View has amazing food and it's in a great slightly secluded area. Located in the springdale district of Stamford. I had hot spicy wings (which nearly killed me) and some kind of cajun burger. Fantastic. Everything was perfect here. The service is good and if your lucky you can catch an intense hockey game going on (depending on which rink your seated near).
