Dallas–Fort Worth, TXSports Bars

Stan's Blue Note is a Lower Greenville room decked out in televisions, the kind of place a fan base can claim as its own away-from-home base for watch parties. Florida State Seminoles fans in Dallas have made it their gathering spot on game days, filling the room out for kickoff. Order burgers and a big platter of appetizers to share while the group settles into whatever is on. It stays a straightforward sports room built for screens and shared plates rather than atmosphere.

Christie's is a Lower Greenville sports bar built around sheer television density, so many screens that nobody has managed an exact count, with the number said to top sixty. Nearly every seat in the room keeps a few screens in view, so there is no bad spot for catching a game. The kitchen runs from charcuterie boards to Frito pie, with a shared party platter for the table. It is a straightforward room built for watching together, screens over atmosphere every time.

SportsBook is a Bishop Arts room built around game-day energy, with screens positioned for a crowd that comes to watch rather than mingle and a kitchen turning out bar fare with more polish than the usual basket food. Wings are the standout order, treated as the kitchen's highlight rather than an afterthought. The room leans into marquee matchups, the kind of games that fill every seat and put every screen to use at once. Order the wings and settle in.

Katy Trail Ice House is a large Uptown restaurant and bar built around its outdoor space, with sports games running on televisions throughout the room and the sound left on rather than muted. It fills up any day the weather cooperates, a crowd spread across the patio and the bar alike with a game always somewhere in view. Order a Deep Eddy lemon vodka Blue Moon Lemonade and find a spot on the patio to watch whatever is playing.
