8 Best Sports Bars in Mcallen

“stopped in for lunch after arriving in town. Delinah was exceptional. She had a smile and attention to detail for menu items was pleasurable. It is nice to see someone excited to be working and enjoy the surroundings.“

“Okay first bar uptown completely impressed by the staff are very polite , tables are clean , restrooms clean and music was great! Although I would have loved to make content in this club and not have the waiters yelling in the middle of songs . Maybe find a different method then the microphone like a ticket service. Over all 10/10 will be coming back .Great night !“

“Great place to spend time“

“Vida made our entire experience absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we sat down, she radiated warmth, professionalism, and genuine kindness that instantly set the tone for the evening. She wasn’t just attentive—she anticipated everything we needed before we even had to ask. Her recommendations were spot-on, her timing was perfect, and her ability to balance attentiveness with giving us space was flawless.

What really sets Vida apart is her personality. She’s not just friendly, she’s magnetic—engaging in conversation with a natural ease that makes you feel like you’re her only table, even when she’s clearly managing everything around her with effortless grace. It’s rare to meet someone who can combine exceptional service with such authenticity, but Vida does it beautifully.

I’ve had great service before, but Vida redefines what “great service” means. She turned a simple night out into something truly special. Honestly, if you’re lucky enough to have Vida as your server, you’ll understand why I’m already planning my next visit. She doesn’t just elevate the meal—she elevates the entire experience. Vida is hands down the best waitress I’ve ever had, anywhere.“

“This place is amazing from the management team to the employees, food is good, drinks are cold, the games area is always clean and the games are always functioning, got the pleasure to meet the GM Pedro super amazing person.
We have become fans of this place and my kids love going here. Thank you Jorge Mtz“

“I have been to The Dive both solo and with a friend, and each time has been so much fun. Karaoke here is a must, but you definitely have to sign up early. The food is also really good, although you might have trouble finding a seat if you get there late. The live bands are really enjoyable and love interacting with the crowd. If I am not mistaken, the Dive has an outdoor seating section too, but I haven't really checked this out since it's been cold recently. All in all, a great place for a memorable night!“

“Yes, it's Applebee's, but there's something nostalgic about the old interior that almost transports you back to the 2000s. And for that, it wins in my book. Even if the only thing I really enjoy is the pecan butter Blondie. It's a classic location and I like that they've kept the old feel. The staff is really nice too, which is always a plus. Good for some drinks and appetizers, the occasional dessert.“

“Great place to go to watch the UFC PPVs. There are a ton of huge screens to watch the fights or other sports on. Some of the pool tables could be replaced and you need to check to see if all the balls are there (correctly numbered). I visited this place a few times and it was an issue a couple of times. The prices for alcohol seemed a little high, but it is a good place chill. The punching bag gets reset often, but I hit a 9563. Let me know if you get a higher score!“
