Superior Sports Bars in Dallas

The Dallas bar scene has something for everyone, from high-end cocktail joints to laid-back dives. The best Dallas sports bars are stocked with TVs, quick with the drinks, and draw fun-loving crowds ready to cheer on their favorite teams. So, when sports are your top priority, the city abides.

Everyone needs a spot to watch the game alongside friends and game-day essentials, like beer and snacks. So head to one of these Dallas sports bars for food specials, themed drinks, and big screens as far as the eye can see.

Time Out Tavern Sports Bar

For those seeking a nice cool, dark, divey place to watch the game in peace, Time Out Tavern is the spot. It has a great beer and booze selection and while it doesn’t really serve food, patrons are allowed to order take out or bring food in with them.

Goodbye Horses

This SMU-adjacent bar sports a handful of giant TVs and good vibes. Get a buck of beer, smash burgers, fried pickles, and wings and call it a game day.

Milo Butterfingers

The newly revamped and reopened Milo Butterfingers is a little cleaner and newer than the O.G. but the vibes are still right. You just won’t stick to anything now. All the beers and screens everyone loves are still there. And they kept the twinkle lights.

Christies

With 69 TVs lining every wall across the two-story space, there’s not a bad seat in the house. Both are better with classic bar food like wings, burgers, and nachos, or the surprisingly good charcuterie board, stocked meats and cheeses, pickled vegetables, grain mustard, and preserves.

Lawnie’s

This spot on Henderson quickly became the go-to for East siders who don’t want to schlep over to the Katy Ice House. It’s also a popular hang for SMU fans and football lovers in general. For those warm winter days, the expansive outdoor area is the place to be.

The Pour House

Oak Cliff’s neighborhood sports bar has games on all its 26 TVs, so diners can free to concentrate on the Buffalo chicken sandwich and ice-cold beer.

Quarter Bar

The McKinney Avenue hangout is great for groups who want to get together for a beer, but it also has a nice wine and cocktail list, if that’s the game day go-to pick.

Lucky Dog Saloon

Pop in to watch a game, play tabletop shuffleboard, and grab a beer. Don’t miss ordering the wagyu barbecue brisket or a gourmet hot dog, and the selection of whiskeys and bourbons here is top notch.

Bryan Street Tavern

This Old East Dallas spot is more of a cozy vibe with better food than the average sports bar. One could actually have a salad, hummus — or just go for wings and pizza, it does that too. It also boasts 22 craft beers on tap, a big old patio, and shuffleboard.

Happiest Hour

Enjoy watching sports on the largest patio bar and lounge in the city with 30 beers on tap. And you’ve gotta get one of the ferris wheel baskets of wings to go with those buckets of beer.

Hero by HG

The 24,000-square-foot space has TVs everywhere you look, so you won’t miss a single play, and six bars are on the premises, so you’re never far from a drink. This season, the bar is offering more mega-sized trays of food that serve 8 to 10 people, like the Tender Bender on a Tot Yacht which has five pounds of chicken tenders and tater tots and the Tailgate Party which has a variety of bites, including buffalo popcorn chicken, cheese fries, cheese sticks, and empanadas. There are also mega-drinks, of course, that server three.

Henry’s Majestic

While Henry’s isn’t a sports bar per say, it is a great place to find a perch and watch the game (any game) with some great food and a drink in hand.
