Specific Bars in Dallas to Watch Football
Can't watch the game on the flat screen at AT stadium? No problem, here are some other spots. The NFL season officially kicks off tonight and because football is like a bowl of queso, bringing together huddled masses, we've pulled together a list of restaurants and bars around the Dallas area where fans of all shapes, sizes and colors conglomerate (or coagulate if you like the queso analogy). If we've missed any, feel free to let others know in the comments.
TNT Sports Bar and Grill (14902 Preston Road) plays hosts to both Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears fans. TNT has various drink and food specials throughout the week, plus a jukebox for a democratically selected range of background noise. for the "Broncos Carlos Hyde Jersey vs Ravens Revenge Game," booting out Thursday night karaoke (don't worry crooners, there's always the Windmill).
New Orleans Saints http://www.49ersofficialnflauthentic.com/authentic-jimmie-ward-jersey.html fans regularly meet at Plucker's in Grapevine (1709 Cross Roads Drive), where the games are shown on the 60 inch plasmas with sound. (Sound is key. These groups always promise to bring fans, if the managers promise sound.)
The Hideaway is a cool little (mostly) neighborhood bar, except for when the Redskins are playing, whereupon people from all neighborhoods descend on the bar. The Original Burgundy and Gold Washington Fan Club of Dallas is the official name and they plan to meet every week of the season.
49ers fans are crazy. I'll go on record with that. If http://www.49ersofficialnflauthentic.com/authentic-carlos-hyde-jersey.html you're up for it, 49ers fans conglomerate at Addison Point (4578 Belt Line Road) and plan to be there this Sunday for the season opener against the Packers.
Or if you'll be wearing green for that game, head down the street to Vernon's (5290 Belt Line Road). Reviews indicate they've recently remodeled the place and dusted off the menu as well. They call themselves "one of the biggest Packers fan hangouts in Texas."
Patriots fans will congress, appropriately enough, at Buffalo Joe's (3636 Frankford Road), which is their regular meeting spot, for the opener against the Buffalo Bills this Sunday.
Seahawks fans will flock to McFadden's (4050 Beltline Road) at noon on Sunday. But the bar itself also caters to Cowboys fans. Tonight (Thursday) they're giving away some Cowboys tickets and will have a free wing buffet at halftime.
The local Giants fan club, aka The Big Blue Wreckin' Crew, meets at Draft Picks (703 McKinney Ave.), when the Giants aren't in town in which case they're meeting in an AT parking lot.
And this might serve more as a warning, but Philadelphia Sixers, Eagles, Flyers and Phillies phans all meet at the Fox and Hound in Lewisville (1640 Stemmons Freeway) on a regular basis. Each daily winner will come back for a championship round on October 3. Muscle up, boys and girls.
There don't seem to be any Lions meet ups or bars, but there are a lot of Lions Clubs in the metroplex, so certainly that's an option for all of you Detroit natives.
Buffalo Joes is a GREAT place to watch the Patriots but you have to be a proud, die hard fan. There are Giants fans when the two teams play at the same time, but as long as you are not afraid of trash talk and enjoy a little competition they are harmless. We are not afraid to mingle with other teams fans, and we are VERY proud of our Pats. If you get your feelings hurt easily or can't handle a rivalry, this is not a good place for you. We are Patriot Nation and will cheer our Pats on where people can see us, not hide out where only other Pats fans are. That's a day care, this is football!!!
Buffalo Joe's is not so bad Jimmie Ward Jersey for football season. But I make it a point to avoid it if a Giants game is on. The fans are usually drunk and extremely obnoxious. I'm not sure if they are trying to fight me or give me a hard time and buy me a beer.
Buffalo Wild Wings on beltline in Addison usually has a few groups of Bears fans for the Chicago games. I dont think its been officially recognized as a bears bar but its been consistent for the last 2 years. The downside is a) you're at buffalo wild wings b) the smoke.
I said, "wait, aren't you a sports bar? You buy radio spots advertising that you are a great sports bar" The door guy said they have a strict dress code and I'd have to wear a jacket over my sports team jersey.
Walked in (with a jacket on) and noticed this strict dress code establishment allowed everyone to smoke inside. I walked straight out and across the street to the back 9 or whatever its called.
