Open since 1996, Scoreboard Bar & Grill across from the Opryland Hotel has been known for its smoked barbecue and hot chicken — but it’s also a popular place to watch football with over 45 television sets positioned throughout the bar. You’ll find the requisite sports bar grub — like pulled pork nachos, wings, and pizza — along with an assortment of bushwhackers.

While the Break Room lounge on the second floor of this East Nashville beer hall is for adults only, the first floor of Noble’s is family-friendly until 10 p.m. and has plenty of screens to take in those weekend games. You’ll also find dozens of craft beer drafts (there are 60 taps) and even more bottles and cans served alongside sliders, smoked meats, and a meat-and-three menu with plenty of classic options.

Beyond the Edge in Five Points has a solid selection of 25 beers on tap with two-for-one drafts on Thursday (and two-for-one beers on Sunday), a pretty extensive food menu focused on wings, quesadillas, and burgers, along with over 30 TVs for prime sports viewing.

Every Sunday, pro football fans can stop by any of Party Fowl’s Nashville-area bars — including the downtown original — to enjoy live NFL games. The massive Donelson location of this hot-chicken-sports-bar hybrid is a particular game-day favorite, boasting 46 TVs, six sound zones, a dedicated area upstairs for watch parties, and two full bars slinging boozy slushies and Southern fare.

The Corner Pub has a bunch of locations throughout Nashville where you can catch a game, including this downtown spot capped off by one of the biggest LED panel TVs in Nashville along with twenty 65” TVs throughout the restaurant. The large Vegas-style bar offers 48 draft beers, which pair well with football and all of the wings, nachos, and cheese fries on the menu.

Part sports bar, part bowling alley, Tee Line is also Nashville’s first curling bar, with three full sheets of ice to practice your technique on. But when you’re done sharpening your skills in hopes of Olympic glory, there are 26 TVs for watching a variety of sports games and a full menu of pub grub in the order of wings, pizza, burgers, and soft pretzel bites with beer cheese to keep you full in between rounds of the craft brew on tap.

The first physical restaurant by Almost Friday Media, the downtown sporting club feels like a cross between a college sports bar and a slick nightclub. The 5,500-square-foot space features craft beers on draft, pub grub like nachos, wings, burgers, and corndogs, beer pong (and bongs), and big screen TVs for optimal game day view.

Irishman Micheál O’Leary’s traditional Irish pub opened in 2019, providing a space for screening football games while eating bangers and mash, shepherd’s pie, and crispy Guinness-battered fish and chips. The sound is on for all games, but on other nights of the week, you’ll find karaoke, trivia, and live bands.

Daniel Bockman’s South Side Kitchen & Pub on Nolensville Pike has become a go-to neighborhood sports hang. The selection of cocktails and beers is thoughtful and the pub menu is familiar but high quality, dishing up jumbo wings, fried pickles, and entrees like fish and chips and the South Side smash burger with two smash patties, American cheese, and comeback sauce. The pub nachos with Guiness-braised brisket are a perfect game-day treat.

M.L.Rose, a comfortable restaurant named for the Melrose neighborhood it calls home, now has locations in Sylvan Park, Capitol View, and Mt. Juliet, too. Each of them has TVs interspersed throughout along with an eclectic selection of burgers (which exclusively use a proprietary blend of beef from local butcher Porter Road), wings, and loaded waffle fries that pair well with the large, well-curated beer list. The Sylvan Park location has a great outdoor space where fans can hang out and play giant Jenga at halftime.

Sports & Social opened its first Nashville location at the Mall at Green Hills in the fall of 2023 and took over an 8,900-square-foot space with a 33-foot LED media wall for watching multiple games and sporting events at once. The menu is curated by James Beard Award nominee John Suley and includes jumbo wings that have been brined for 24 hours, pepperoni flatbread, and a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. During half time, you can play skeeball and hoops.
