March 1, 2006 Sports bars
A big-screen TV, cold beer and a plate of hot wings. Does it get any better, sports fans?
TALK TO US
Ballard Loft
(Ballard/Crown Hill)
The Loft is not themed or postmodern or anything at all, really. It has no indigenous crowd, serves no foofie drinks and has no murals on its painted cinder-block walls. It's just a meat-and-fries neighborhood sports bar.
F.X. McRory's Steak, Chop & Oyster House
(Pioneer Square)
If the Mariners had an official team restaurant, this surf 'n' turf joint could be it.
Floyd's Place
(Queen Anne/Seattle Center)
Just across from KeyArena, Floyd's Place is part sports bar, part barbecue joint and altogether worthwhile.
Fox Sports Grill
(Downtown)
Fox Sports Grill in downtown Seattle is a slick place with seating arranged in tiers around a big square bar, 32 plasma screens and much more. The menu includes bar food, bistro fare, salads, steaks, chops, ribs and seafood.
Fuel Sports Bar & Nightclub
(Pioneer Square)
Fuel's promise of "sports, eats and beats" isn't an empty one -- the Pioneer Square spot boasts live DJs, a fairly deep bar chow menu and enough plasma-screen TVs to give you a tan .
Goldie's On Airport Way
(Georgetown)
This bustling, friendly sports bar serves up hearty burgers and sandwiches and plays host to lively poker parties and karaoke nights.
Hooters of Lake Union
(Eastlake/Lake Union)
Sure, Hooters makes a good punchline for jokes, but the service, atmosphere and TVs also make it a great place to watch a game.
Jillian's
(Eastlake/Lake Union)
As much as we'd like to resist, we can't help but like a place where you can drink bourbon and play ping-pong at the same time.
Legends Sports Bar & Grill
(West Seattle)
All that a sports fan needs pool tables, pull tabs, plenty of televisions and cold beer can be had at Legends.
Pyramid Alehouse
(Sodo)
Enjoy burgers, pizzas, appetizers and perhaps, needless to say, first-class microbrews at this sports-fan favorite.
RockSport Bar & Grill
(West Seattle)
Everything about RockSport is big: the seating area, the menu, and last but not least, the wall-sized projection TV screen.
Sluggers Sports Bar
(Downtown)
Located a stone's throw from the stadiums, this fans bar has the essentials: local brews, hot wings and sports memorabilia.
The Spectator Bar and Grill
(Queen Anne/Seattle Center)
What unites sports fans across borders? Fried food, if The Spectator Bar and Grill is any indication.
Spitfire
(Belltown)
If the 23 LCD televisions tuned to sports in this sleek bar don't make your eyes light up, the Latin-inspired drinks and eats ought to do it.
Sport Restaurant & Bar
(Queen Anne/Seattle Center)
Sport Restaurant & Bar by Seattle Center welcomes sports fans of all ages. It has 48 TV screens and a menu that includes wings, pizzas, deli sandwiches, Kobe beef burgers and expertly grilled steaks and salmon, among other things.
