The pub at Chateau Elan Winery and Resort, Louis’ House of Bourbon, is hosting a special Super Bowl watch party on February 9. There will be food and drink specials, including team cocktails: Chief Sprintz and the Eagle’s Long Island (cheeky buggers). The menu specials include Caribbean wings, spinach artichoke dip, a flatbread with sausage, spinach, and caramelized onions, and giant pretzels. The game will play on big TVs with lounge seating. The event is free for all, and no reservations are required.

After more than 40 years, Ideal Sportsbar in Lakewood is still the neighborhood gathering place for sports fans. Grab some wings, tater tots, and beer (or a stiff drink) and shoot some pool while taking in a game or two on the TVs here.

Monday Night Garage in the West End is one of the chillest places to watch the game. They usually project major NFL games on a massive wall inside the brewery. With more than 20 beers on tap and a stone pizza oven spitting out delicious pies (get the Hot Honey with pickled onions, pepperoni, and a hot honey drizzle), it’s the place to lounge and cheer on your favorite team. There’s even a relaxing outdoor patio with fire pits.

East Atlanta Village’s The Pub is primarily a soccer bar but still caters to other sports. As a pub, the food leans Irish (think baby corn cobs, fish and chips, bangers and mash, and more), while the beer list offers local, national, and European brews. Brunch is offered on the weekends.

The recently-opened Nordic-themed sports bar Downtown dedicated to the Minnesota Vikings is the place for any major game — not just the Vikings ones. Skol Brewing Company blasts the space with snow machines at every touchdown — a tradition at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minnesota. The snow is also activated at the end of each night to finish the day. There’s plenty of pub fare on the menu and beers from Arches Brewing. There’s even axe-throwing here, in case you need to blow off steam if your team is losing.

What about a sleek game day experience? The recently opened Painted Park (from the same team behind Painted Pickle and Painted Duck) in the former Parish space in Inman Park is a loungey spot with multiple TVs to watch any big game, including the Super Bowl. Game day specials will include loaded nachos, meatball subs, chicken fingers, and more pub-style fare. 

Located in the heart of Little Five Points, Brewhouse Cafe is where to head to watch Atlanta United matches and international soccer games on the TV, along with other sports like Olympics, rugby and cricket. And this sports bar isn’t playing around when it comes to its drink menu, which includes a lengthy list of local, foreign, and domestic beers and a Painkiller cocktail that comes in three levels of booziness. Soak it all up with pizza, lemon pepper or red hot wings, loaded nachos, and even fish and chips.

Hudson Grille and its many metro Atlanta locations is one of the big sports bar chains in town. No matter the sports season, the TVs are always tuned in to several games on any given day. Grab a seat on the patio, which also features TVs, and dine on fried pickles, loaded nachos, chips and dip, wings, and patty melts paired with beer and cocktails.

Pour Taproom in Midtown (with an additional location on the BeltLine) is the easiest way to snag a beer. With over 80 beers on tap, you simply walk up to a tap and pay for the pour as you go. No bartender is needed. There are more than 20 TVs for all manner of sports viewing. The menu includes classic bar fare, like wings, cheeseburgers, and chili cheese dogs. Plus, if you’re catching Monday night football, all the beer is half off at Pour on Mondays. Pour Taproom at the Interlock in West Midtown has now closed.

Atlanta’s only gay sports bar moved from its 17-year home on Piedmont to an expanded space on Plasters Avenue, just off of Armour Drive. With the move came a new food menu, including tacos, sandwiches, and wings. Hang out and watch an Atlanta United match, the Olympics, college or NFL football, or a Braves game on one of Woofs’ two dozen televisions. Woofs regularly hosts charity events for local LGBTQ organizations and is a welcoming spot for Atlanta queer sports leagues.

This Clarkston neighborhood bar may play host to a low-key crowd, but it takes sports and sports watching very seriously. TVs throughout the bar and dining room are tuned to plenty of games during each season, or even sports commentary. While most known for its wings, especially the Buffalo, bourbon barbecue, and popular sweet and spicy flavors, try the patty melt, Reuben, or fried chicken wrap with a basket of fries. The BPH fries come topped with blue cheese dressing and crumbles, roasted garlic, and tomatoes.

Billed as Atlanta’s “hometown sports bar,” Irby Tavern is dedicated to all things ATL sports. If an Atlanta team is playing, the TVs here are definitely tuned in for fans to watch while dining on mega nachos, Thai sweet chili wings, cheesesteaks, and hot fudge brownies. The bar offers several beers on draft, wine, and cocktails. There’s even a kid’s menu here.

Located in the Terminus building in Buckhead, Industry Tavern draws sports fans of all types and team allegiances in for lobster nachos, barbecue chicken pizza, shrimp tacos, and wings. Multiple games might be playing on the TVs on any given day. Share the pork totcho — a mountain of tater tots covered in pulled pork, pico de gallo, jalapenos, cheddar cheese, queso, sour cream, and barbecue sauce — or try the double beef patty 2x4 burger topped with special sauce, lettuce, onions, and American cheese.

When Clay’s Sports Cafe temporarily closed in 2016, fans lamented the fact they took with them some of the best wings in town. Thankfully, Clay’s and those wings are back in a new location in Sandy Springs. Clay’s doesn’t play favorites, so come here to relax and watch a few games, drink beer, and, of course, eat all the wings.

With multiple OTP locations, Mazzy’s is a solid choice for both watching sports and good bar food. With TVs lining the walls alongside pool tables and darts, Mazzy’s is a gathering spot for sports fans in Atlanta’s northern suburbs. Expect standard sports bar snacks like loaded potato skins, Buffalo chicken dip, and baskets of wings, along with wraps, steak burgers, fried fish sandwiches, and even shrimp and grits.
