These NYC bars are hosting 'Love Island USA' watch parties for the big finale this weekend
Over in Manhattan, City Winery is going all in on Thursday night with a ticketed event hosted by none other than BradXBrad, bestie of Love Island host Ariana Madix. Think cozy theater vibes, themed cocktails and live audience reactions at whatever delightfully nonsensical thing Amaya Papaya says next. Just a few blocks away, The Comedy Shop is making it a full-on week of love, with nightly watch parties followed by comedy shows, giving you a place to laugh through your heartbreak if your favorite couple doesn't win the big bucks.
If you're craving something more upscale for Sunday's grand finale, Fushimi Times Square is hosting a full-blown fundraiser watch party featuring a sushi buffet, complimentary champagne, speed dating, giveaways and even a photo booth. Proceeds go to youth leadership programs, so your screaming at the screen can be for a good cause.
For a more casual drop-in, spots like The Black Sheep and The Ainsworth Midtown are airing episodes most nights leading up to the finale, with no tickets required. Over at The Ritz Bar & Lounge, happy hour runs from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. with BOGO Love Island –themed cocktails and $12 caipirinhas, plus back-to-back episodes starting at 7 p.m. And for those who want to pair their viewing party with a cheeky spritz and a kale Caesar, Twenty Three Grand is offering a 'Girl Dinner' combo available only during screenings. (Definitely better than those bogus avocado toasts the boys have been making all season.)
Brooklyn isn't sitting this one out either. The Yard at 3 Dollar Bill will host a Sunday finale bash hosted by iconic drag queens Vampy Von and Thickums, complete with performances by Nicky O and Bertha Vanayshun. Meanwhile, Mugs Ale House will keep things low-key with back-room screenings.
And in Queens, Cobblestones Pub & Biergarten is pulling fans in with a 180-inch TV wall and $7 frozen drinks, while The Rabbit Hole ups the fun with themed cocktails, popcorn and even Love Island trivia next week.
Whether you're rooting for Nic and Olandria's billionth recoupling or raging over Huda and Chris's toxic situation, there's no better way to close out the season than watching with your fellow fanatics—and maybe a frozen marg in hand.

Love Island's bitter feud explodes again as stars SLAM rival's ‘whispers & dirty looks' saying ‘it wasn't a bad edit
Shakira said she the 'frosty' atmosphere made her feel 'isolated' NO LOVE LOST Love Island's bitter feud explodes again as stars SLAM rival's 'whispers & dirty looks' saying 'it wasn't a bad edit Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island's feud amongst the girls have erupted once again as rival's slam "whispers and dirty looks" while in the villa. Toni Laites, Shakira Khan and Yas Pettet clashed with co-stars Helena Ford, Meg Moore and Megan Forte Clarke on the show. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Shakira has insisted the divide within the villa was worse than portrayed onscreen Credit: Instagram 5 The trio opened up about the 'classic High School behaviour' by rival co-stars Credit: Instagram 5 The girls clashed with Meg Moore and Helena Ford through the series Credit: Shutterstock Editorial ITV2 viewers branded it the "worst division" in Love Island history - with the girls failing to see eye-to-eye and were often seen arguing. And now Toni, Shakira and Yas have insisted the feud was even worse than people realise, calling it "classic High School behaviour". Opening up in a new interview with i-D Magazine, Shakira said: 'We felt that massively in the changing room, the snickers, the whispers, the dirty look." The reality star clashed with Helena after she pursued a romance with with Harry Cooksley, while he was coupled up with Shakira. Shakira hit out at Islanders who downplayed the divide since leaving the villa. She said: "When you come around the corner and they stop talking, you feel isolated, it feels frosty, really tense, and it's not nice. "It wasn't a bad edit; we tried to fix it, but that was our experience, we lived it.' Despite having a rocky relationship with some of their co-stars, the trio stuck together and gracefully took on every obstacle thrown at them. Toni won the series alongside Cach and scooped a prize of £50k, while Shakira and Harry and Yas and Jamie are also going strong. Despite each bagging themselves a new fella, they have proudly said that the real prize is the friendships they made. Love Island's Shakira and Toni share a passionate snog on boozy night out Toni said: "We found so much peace in the three of us, because we accepted each other for who we were. 'We never tried to fit in with how everyone else looked or how they acted." Earlier this month, Yas fuelled a bitter villa feud as she took a huge swipe at show rivals. Yas shared a video edit made by a fan featuring the words "the big three". It shows her, Shakira and Toni walking in a confident way alongside clips from the sexy Heart Rate Challenge and other moments where they each smiled. Not only this, but unlike Shakira and Toni, Yasmin does not follow either Dejon or Meg who have instead decided to follow all three girls. It also seems the finalists' partners are sticking by their girls with both Cach Mirjah Mercer, who won the show with Toni, and Jamie Rhodes, who was coupled up with Yasmin, not following Dejon. 5 Shakira said the ' the snickers, the whispers, the dirty looks' were unkind Credit: Shutterstock Editorial
