42 Best Sports Bars near Granite City

“I've only been a few times but seems to be a fun and inclusive place to meet some interesting characters and play pool.

Oh and I'm sure other reviews have mentioned it but THE WINGS. Do not sleep on the wings their buffalo sauce is chefs kiss 😘

Edit: all the bartenders I have met have treated me with respect despite my weirdness, my kind of place“

“I ordered online today and the food was ready quickly. Someone came out to my car as soon as I pulled up (receipt said kaydee I think). She was friendly and fast coming back with our order. Said they are always looking to improve and to let her know anything was wrong.

Food was all hot. My steak was cooked correctly and so was my husband’s burger. Their green beans were, surprisingly, so good and nicely seasoned. We got the 2 for $25, so we got the mozzarella sticks app. Also hot and plenty of marinara. A+ from this location today!“

“Found this place through Pub Pass and glad we did! Food and service very good. Originally opened in late 1800s and is still owned by the Beffa family, which I find very cool. And it’s nice that you can make a reservation.“

“I’ve been coming to grizzly bear for years with friends and family. I love the atmosphere inside and outside. The historical building is absolutely gorgeous. Marie was mine and my sisters bartender and she was so sweet and attentive. Absolutely love her! 10/10 definitely recommend. The wings are delicious and I love playing darts in the front room. Never a dull moment at the grizzly bear.“

“Great place to watch a soccer game.“

“Great food, great staff. The tacos…perfection.“

“Duffy is AMAZING! He makes the best shots. Ask for a grape Gatorade. His singing skills are out of this world. Not sure why he isn’t on American Idol! Do yourself a favor and visit Kikroys! And ask for him!!!“

“Food was excellent, service was great! Our bartender was awesome!“

“Great staff !! Lots of fun games and just a down home atmosphere!“

“Kinda quiet tonight. But late night menu was FIRE! Amy said her Grilled chicken sandwich was top 5 in STL. My pub burger was perfectly cooked to medium, and had a pub cheese that was remarkable! Also had crab cakes which had so much crab/so little filler I was surprised. Great finals week night dinner.“

“Great people! Fun atmosphere!“

“Pretty big bar. The inside has a few games to play but I imagine summer time is when they pick up with business. There are sand volleyball courts and a huge patio. The patio is partially covered in some areas. The best part of the patio is you can bring you dog!!“

“Great atmosphere and service. They have a limited but diverse beer and beverage selection. The cocktails are made with attention. And if you're hungry (or even if you aren't), the food is not too be missed. Creative top notch selection of bay snacks and sandwiches. It's very laid back with live music almost every night and lots of recreational fun - pool, darts, games, etc. And then they also have a comfortable outdoor patio in the back, where you can bring your dog.“

“Love it here!! Great food and wonderful service!!“

“The food is fantastic! The staff are always nice and welcoming. Saturday steak night is the best! 10 out 10!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“We were lucky to run into this place. The menu looks amazing it was hard to choose from. We came with 6 and everyone was satisfied with their meal. I personally recommend the Lou Chick and Peppercorn Chicken Sandwich. Fries, wings and chips were great too. I would also recommend this place to anyone coming from the Botanical Garden nearby. 10/10 spot!!“

“I knew the owners of this place. Rose and Tony. My grandma took me down there when I was two. She ran a run down apt complex right next to there. I can’t believe it is still there. Rose and Tony would come to my house for holidays. I will be visiting there soon. It was a nice little dive bar the last time I was there. I worked at the west and cafe. I think rose and Tony were still alive at that point. Like 30 years ago. Love them and I loved this little bar.“

“Had a great time last night! First time ever being there the mechanical bull riding was very fun to watch.“

“Love this place and the food is so good.“

“Great place!“

“Nick (Grass) took care of us very well. Not only was he very friendly, but let us know various types of drinks and the prices of them as well! We would absolutely refer him to anyone we come in contact with looking to have a great but valuable time!“

“This was our first time eating here, and we will absolutely return! The hostess immediately greeted us and asked if we wanted a high or low top table. Our server, Michaela, was absolutely amazing! She very quickly gave me recommendations on both food and drinks when I asked her, and her recommendations did not disappoint! My husband ordered the blackened chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. Following Michaela’s recommendation, I ordered the steak sandwich on garlic cheese bread. Even well-done, it was still tender and juicy. Our server graciously took our picture when I asked her to. I decided to have the hostess send over a manager so I could sing Michaela’s praises. The hostess immediately went to get a manager for me, and that manager came very quickly to my table. She was appreciative of us calling her over for a positive report on one of her employees. All in all, it was a great night!“

“The place is not operating or even open, l arrived today June 5,2023 ....was hoping to enjoy the place.....as it was very good 20 years ago.....now that I am back in town to live, I do hope this special place will open soon.....as I just live about 12 doors away. Regards“

“Nothing special. Great dive. Bud is cold and liquor is hot. Can’t go wrong.“

“It's my goto for Sunday football or Blues hockey. The food is always excellent, everyone seems to know everyone and makes it very inviting. The one minus on football it only blast one game on the audio and no music on halftime.

Parking: Don't park across the street at the daycare lot. ANYTIME They will towe your vehicle!

Kid-friendliness: It's a bar restaurant. Great for afternoon lunch and early dinners.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, ramps galore“

“Stayed in Air BnB across the street awhile back for the wwe Royal Rumble. My brother and I ate here everyday, drank here at night. Laid back atmosphere. I wanted to purchase a shirt and they didn’t have my size, owner went out of his way to go dig and find me one. 10/10 recommend.“

“love the bartenders! they don't have a huge selection of beer but it's always a good time!“

“Food is OMG the cook added his special touch. The seasoning he
Put on these fries was the best. Best fries I’ve ever had. It def has brown sugar and onion seasoning in it but what else ? Oh my lord. He was super polite - watch the office it’s about a bunch of Chicago cooks from all
Walks of life and about them becoming a fine dining restaurant from a Chicago street food restaurant.

The bartender Wendy was on her game great time and great music. Great people.“

“I had my birthday party here. It was awesome! Loved the patio and the owner let us Bluetooth MY playlist to the speakers!?Food was delicous. My guests ALL said they enjoyed everything! I most definitely WILL be returning.“

“This is my favorite place to go for game days, and the food is always amazing! Great staff and the venue is perfect for groups. I recommend this place to all of my friends coming from out of town :)“

“The food was great but now it's okay..The first time I went there, my cousin and I had an awesome time, and the food was on point.Now they have a different cook there and not many Selection to make when it comes to food. All he has are chicken and fries? Most of the time, he never had fish. It's sometimes shrimp.“

“I had the Cherokee Waffle. It was amazing. Who would have thought that pico de gallo, chorizo, feta cheese, maple syrup, and a waffle could play so well together. Advertised as a regional dish, I'm glad I discovered this one. Awesome flavor combination.“

“Wow!! What a great experience! We stopped here to grab a late dinner after an exhausting fun filled day. The food was fantastic! Highly recommend the Reuben or the meatloaf sandwich. Frozen Irish coffee was so good and the hot Irish coffee strong but very good. Employees were super nice. Bathrooms super clean. We highly recommend and when we come back to St Louis, we will be back!“

“Visited for the first time Saturday night with My Husband and a couple of friends. We had a few hiccups during our visit, and I asked to speak to a manager and Cayse came by. He listened to me and addressed all of our concerns, professionally, but also empathetically. He really took the time to listen to me and understand my frustrations. He totally turned our visit around and was responsible for us continuing to have a great night full of fun. I appreciated that very much, and for that alone, we will be back. A sidenote- the food and drink drinks are very good!“

“Highly recommended best burgers in town“

“love their pizzas an salad epically on Wed.In summer an fall the outdoor patio is terrific !“

“Awesome place!! Have been going here for years. Never disappoints. Security is top of the line. Keeps everything in control and never worries about anything!!“

“Ribeye was amazing! My wife said her burger was one of the best she's had in a long time! Prompt service. 10/10“

“They charged us a $51 “large party charge” even though we were 3 couples with separate checks. We had terrible service and I wouldn’t recommend this establishment to anyone. This place is a joke and I will be doing a charge back for the unsolicited charge to my card. Avoid this place.“

“We had a wonderful after-ballgame meal at Cardinal Nation. George took great care of us. The food was good, and selection of drinks was just fine. The noise was subdued so it was easy to hold conversations with our friends. We will return!“
