40 Best Sports Bars near Granite City

“My new #1 bar in town. They stock my favorite N.A. Blue Moon beer and have a mushroom Swiss burger so good I feel homesick (mushroom Swiss is exclusive to Wednesday only, very fresh and amazing). Great kitchen, friendly people, cheap drinks, the perfect bar 🍻 cheers!“

“I live in Clayton Missouri & I had to drive out to this area for my Dog at Cavaliers Furniture. It was way past my lunch time. They had a few area Fast Food joints but instead of grabbing greasy food I decided to check this Applebees out. It has been about 8 years since I’ve stepped foot inside any Applebees. Great customer service from the bar, front desk, table staff to my waitress Courtney B! I decided to try the Crispy Bacon & Ranch Chicken sandwich w/Fries. I asked prior to ordering if I should get the grills or crispy & my waitress said she only had the Crispy & it was good. So, I went with it. It was that good! Great choice. When I’m in the area I most definitely will be back. Until then, I’ll be visiting my areas locations for now on. I’ve obviously been missing out!
TIP Your Waiter Folks!🍸“

“Great atmosphere before any sports event!“

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

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Great place to watch a soccer game.“

“The guy bartender with blond-ish hair (4/24/26) was amazing. He remembered 6 different peoples orders at our table and that was so impressive. Food came out quick and it was delicious. 10/10! Will be back when we come back to the city. The shuttle to the game was awesome too!!“

“😘💸🛎😍🖖😘💸🛎😍🖖😘💸🛎😍🖖“

“Perfect neighborhood bar with a pool table inside and patio seating outside. The side winder fries are on my list of favorites in this city. Live music was good and at the right volume to still visit with friends.“

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

“Great people! Fun atmosphere!“

“I drive past this place a lot and never paid it any attention. My friend and I wanted some frozen drinks and food. When I say this place was a pleasant surprise. From the security to the ladies working at the bar we felt cared for. Even the other patrons were really nice. You can tell they are regulars there and we enjoyed that. The drinks were A1 in taste and buzz level. The only “issue” I had was the menu I read about online wasn’t as extensive. I had my heart set on something I didn’t see in person but that’s not a dealbreaker. They will see us again.“

“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.“

“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.“

“A very good selecction of food and drinks. Their Taco Salad is the best I've ever had, hands down. I went with friends. Great for all crowd sizes. They have a bar their and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We ate indoors with table service, they do have a QR code for ordering too. Our sodas were never empty. You can purchase for takeout too. Service was exemplary. Parking is hard, just give yourself a little extra time for that. I plan on going back soon and trying other items.“

“You won’t see service like this anymore.

My wife and I bought all inclusive tickets for the Bud deck. They were accidentally listed for sale during a 4hr window and the deck was actually closed for a private event.

This place went above and beyond for us. I wasn’t mad. I knew I’d at least be refunded. They went to the moon and back to apologize for the mistake and made us whole 5x over. I go to a lot of games, but don’t regularly pre-game here. Well that’s going to change. I’m coming here every game. Special shout out to the guest services manager and the bar manger. They made us feel special and that our business actually meant something to them.

You do NOT get this service anymore. Phenomenal people. I’m coming all summer long and I’m a patron for life. The two women who helped us were top notch. Bud deck guest manager and main floor bar manager. I don’t know their names, but they’re the best of the best in the industry.

THANK YOU“

“Maggie O’Brien’s is a real gem. From the moment we walked in, the staff made our family feel welcome with genuine smiles and helpful suggestions. Our server was very friendly and attentive, and they went out of their way to accommodate our kids by offering high chairs, smaller portions, and menu ideas that kept everyone happy. The food was delicious, so yummy. The kids loved their meals and they even made naked wings for my daughter, a suggestion from our server when she said she didn’t like sauces, even offered to get her something different if she didn’t like them. The atmosphere is lively but comfortable, exactly what you want for a family meal. Maggie’s has great service, tasty food, and a truly family-friendly team.“

“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 :)“

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

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

“Great vibe, great wings, bar food is my favorite and they nail it.

Kim is a lovely, witty, and pretty bar tender, you can tell she has a following of loyal regulars.

Everything you’d want at a neighboorhood bar, will be back.“

“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.“

“Great place!“

“BART is a great bartender! Go see him!“

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

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

“I’m glad you’re back. I love mother’s fish. I remember eating every Friday“

“I love the crowd and music but the customer service of the bartenders is straight trash. They literally partying with customers while others are waiting to be served. They must be related to the owners because they don’t mind huffing and puffing with nasty attitudes. Only complaint is get better bartenders with sales experience and customer service.“

“On the way from fireworks, decided to visit for a quick drink while the crowds dispersed. Vibe was great, servers were excellent. We will definitely be back! We occasionally eat at Ruth Chris but will now add this to our evening plans! Excellent and highly recommend!“

“Would definitely recommend! In St. Louis, near the arch, had a toddler with us. After being spoken to rather rudely by a different brewery/bar (had made a reservation error for same brewery, different location that the brewery was very unhappy with and wouldn’t seat everyone even though NOT crowded) and going to another restaurant that wouldn’t accommodate a toddler (‘we only have high seats’) when it was not crowded either, we went to The Pitch. It was AWESOME! Great tasting salads and burgers! No overwhelming noise! Very courteous people there! Was so good our daughter went back for the next day lunch with colleagues and we went again for supper that evening! Burgers sooo good! Desserts sooo good! They even showed the launching of Artemus for everyone to see! We found a gem that day!“

“First time at STL location - 10 out of 10 - Staff/manager/food/the view - The staff made the visit- they were so fun and so so nice!! ❤️ loved the vibe and energy of everyone we dealt with - great job STL!! 3rd floor views ❤️“

“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!!“

“Highly recommended best burgers in town“

“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.“

“You will love it!!!⚾🌭🥧and Chevrolet!“

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