50 Best Sports Bars in Washington

“Today, I tried Fight Club. I found their lunch menu offered unique combinations of sandwiches and sides. Each sandwich contained flavors one might not normally pair. I enjoyed a Genoa Salami and Coleslaw Sandwich! It was absolutely fantastic! I’d place it in my top 5 sandwiches ever! If you’re looking for a wonderful dining experience, check out Fight Club DC!“

“Great food! Great service! Great people!“

“Great place for cocktails“

“Money well spent, waiters and staff were courteous. Food was delicious!“

“This place is really great. There are competitions and lessons for seasoned players, but it’s also a great place for a date or a group of people with mixed levels of skill. The staff is incredibly nice and welcoming and it’s also family friendly (thank you for having a changing table in the bathroom!) This is the kind of business you want to support. I wish I could come more often!“

“A few years ago, my PICs brought me here for my birthday as it was a Philadelphia Eagles bar and the Eagles were playing Dallas. It was a nice atmosphere, so it made the short list of places to watch the NFC Championship game between the Eagles and the Commanders. The first location had been packed since 10 a.m., so we called to see if any tables were available. The young lady said,'we have plenty of seats for the NFC game, but we are pretty booked for the AFC game as we are a Bills bar" 😲. We were like what? Ok, let's go check it out as it's getting late.

Much to our surprise, there were 3 seats at the bar right in front of the TVs. We already had brunch, so we were there for the game and drinks. We each order a carafe of mimosas/bellini, which is an entire bottle of Cava with the juice on the side. The bartenders were very attentive and the closer it got to game time, the quiet atmosphere changed to a hype football vibe, but the attentiveness didn't change. Halfway through the carafe and the game, I needed something to eat. They had a smoked burrata, which is served in a smoke filled dome with toast points and micro greens. I would go back just for that alone. One of my PICs had the mussels and she said they were tasty.

This was a great place to watch the game, oh the Bills bar was actually the back section/bar so we were able to stay, have a victory drink, Fly Eagles Fly lol and watch at least the first quarter of the Chiefs/ Bills game.“

“Spacious place with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and a laid back atmosphere.“

“Great open mic, great beer and awesome Frenchie burger!“

“Great place to grab a drink and meet new people and don’t forget the amazing brunch every Saturday and Sunday 11:00 and 1:00pm.“

“shout out to the manager tonight!! my husband and I came in for the Bills game and he was excellent at accommodating us on a side "big screen" as it wasn't the preferred game of the evening! excellent atmosphere and great food! this was our 3rd visit and we will return!“

“Everytime I come here, I am impressed. The food is authentic and delicious. Anyone at the bar will attest to it. The sound system is perfectly balanced so you can still talk to people while enjoying an event. Upstairs has all the cocktails you need and the deck is beautiful. But the late night kitchen is the cherry on top!

Vegetarian options: They have multiple vegetarian options. Great variety, easy options.“

“I love Grand Central! The vibes and energy are GREAT, the food is delicious, the music doesn’t miss and the service is fantastic!!! If you want to have a good time in AdMo you should definitely come to Grand Central— I can’t recommend it enough.“

“The wings give a big variety, the staff is great and the weeknight activities are entertaining. Karaoke on Tuesday and Sip & Paint on Wednesday.“

“great staff. good beer deals. above average bar food. lots of TVs. awesome deck“

“Mood Swings Food Hall is my new go-to spot in DC! Spearheaded by the city's youngest restauranteur, Taj Sohal, it's where the menu changes monthly, keeping our taste buds on their toes. Think global cuisine meets local vibe—perfect for us who love to mix up our dining scenes. Whether you're in for a work sesh with coffee or out for exotic flavors, this place has you covered. Plus, voting on next month's menu? Love being part of the buzz. It's the ultimate spot for us foodies in the city. Don't miss out!“

“My Uncle's celebration of life services was held there Saturday the staff did an excellent job very friendly, great food. Thanks for everything!“

“Excellent, amazing food , drinks and atmosphere“

“Good American food, sports pub atmosphere, outside dining area, very good server“

“great service“

“Food was excellent! Beer was good, prices were fair, but our waitress was not very friendly at all. she clearly wanted nothing to do with waiting on us. otherwise a very enjoyable atmosphere and the pizza was so good!“

“Great food, atmosphere and service“

“Well done Logan Tavern! This past weekend you hosted us for a dinner that was part of a weekend-long celebration of our mother/aunt/grandmother/friend. Our gang (30 people) loved the space you gave us and the food was delicious. The brisket and the Mac and cheese were particularly good. In the past, I’ve enjoyed the burgers. I would definitely recommend swinging by the Tavern!“

“Great location, good prices, laid back atmosphere. Full bar on on their 3rd night being open!“

“We love Astro Beer Hall! It’s a great spot for watching our local DC sports teams and far flung games like the NFL in Europe. There’s a wide variety of food on the menu - something for everyone! There’s an extensive draft beer selection and a speciality cocktail menu if you’re looking for something adventurous. The staff keeps us coming back.“

“Sunday night game with the cheeseheads 🧀💚💪🏾💯“

“This is where it’s at pregame DC defenders“

“This is an ideal place to relax, drink, and chat. It's also a small business with a lot of friendly regulars. It's also an Ohio bar. The food is solid, but the atmosphere is really the draw. The person who is serving you or working in the kitchen is highly likely to be the owner.“

“Great bar , super perk for this Hampton Inn/Navy Yard!“

“Fue la primera vez al visitar el restaurante pero la experiencia fue excelente lo podemos recomendar grandemente la atención fue excelente al igual que la comida y bebidas.“

“I’m not a fan of Boston sports, but I am a fan of this bar. It’s like a little hidden secret.

I originally put a 1 for atmosphere based on the Boston thing, but then I partied here and it was amazing!

I changed my 4 star review to 5! Yall rule! Ella is the best bartender.“

“Very nice sports bar with 5 large screens. Saw the bartender put one of the football games on the TV for a patron. Had the parmesan garlic wings and margherita pizza and both were phenomenal. Staff were cool and personable and attentive. Draft selection was about half what they had on the menu but not a problem.“

“This place has definitely improved.It use to smell really bad but that has changed. The menu changed and for the better. The popcorn chicken is really good, as well as the orange and fish! The friend rice isn’t great. The mango chicken has way too much sauce. Regardless, I would definitely recommend this place.“

“The owner make u feel like family member.“

“Big Mike’s Karaoke and what wings!!!!“

“The atmosphere is so lively when a game is playing- I have not been in to experience it, but I have walked past it on multiple occasions- and you seem sure to have a great time watching it here! The service can seem lacking due to a lot of the communication with the staff being online through their menu, which I am not used to but on the two occasions we did see the waiter, they were friendly. They brought us a pitcher of water when we first arrived and our food once it was ready.“

“delicious. service is otherworldly, unlike any place else really. only knock is limited menu, which on the other hand makes ordering really easy. elegant, simple, clean, and, most importantly, the pho broth is the best“

“After leaving dinner with the sisters, some had an idea to go here to talk some more while enjoying a nightcap. We didn’t need food since we were stuffed from dinner.

I could be wrong, but I think there was something else going on downstairs. So, we were guided upstairs away from the fanfare, which was fine by me because we were the only ones up there outside of the bartender.

So, since it was close to 8:00 p.m., we ordered some of their specialty drinks. I had the Screwball Old Fashioned, and the girls laughed a lot as we shared war stories of our past.“

“Lecker - nur paar Gehminuten vom Capitol“

“Illusions is a must dine restaurant!!! I ordered shrimp and grits and catfish and grits!!!!!! After traveling to Pennsylvania and warming up my food……it was outstanding!! Being able to travel with seafood and grits for nearly 3hrs. This along with the flavor, portion size is just outstanding! My mom and I didn't want to finish it all so we saved half for the next day! And it was still sooooo good! The ONLY issue we only had a little bit left! So not only am I’m going back I’m going back asap!!! 5***** food!!!! So sorry I forgot to take pictures

Parking: Loads of accessible free parking!!! ladies you don’t have to walk far in ya heels! Well lit outdoor parking space.“

“Have you met Ruth? I might be biased because she’s like a favorite person to many, professional & makes everyone feel welcome. Anyway, go find out for yourself & you can revert here & let me know if I know what I’m talking about.“

“Miguel, Miguel, & Rhys were beyond sweet and accommodating. I came to the bar by myself but I felt like I was with friends. Not once did I feel like I was alone. My drink was non stop filled and always offered food or other drinks. They made me feel safe as I was leaving as well as I’m visiting by myself.
Can’t wait to come back“

“Loved this place! Food was great….awesome service. Try the shrimp wrap or pull pork sandwich and a nice cold beer. Can’t go wrong…..we are from Louisiana and tough critics.“

“The ping pong tables as well as all the other games!“

“Simple, simple, honest place, without great pretensions. Very good service from the bartender and staff in general. Delicious and varied craft beers that are worth trying. Free popcorn. Clean and complete bathrooms. A must-see if you like beers on tap and a calm atmosphere with excellent music.“

“Woo hoo! Sunday, May 30th 10:00 am Rolling to Remember Party!“

“We had a nice time ! Love the food ! Excellent service !😀👌👏👏😃🥰“

“Classy, clean, and inviting atmosphere. This place was full of positive energy and had a diverse blend of customers. The waiters were friendly and the food was delicious. I ordered the fresh beer battered fish, it was A1. The chilli cheese fries were also wayyyyy better than the ones served back in the Yak! I'll definitely be back.

Kid-friendliness: Indoor and outdoor seating.“

“The hookah experience was absolutely amazing! I tried the Blueberry Mint flavor, and it was smooth and refreshing—definitely one of the best I’ve had. A special shoutout to Hennessy for providing top-notch service. He was attentive, professional, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish.

I also appreciated the cleanliness—everything was spotless, with fresh new hoses and high-quality equipment. Hennessy’s excellent customer service and great vibe truly made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for an exceptional hookah night. Five stars all the way!“
