Angry Dog
2726 Commerce St. (Downtown)This Deep Ellum restaurant and bar with dive vibes with sports. The food here is better than it's supposed to be, but don't anybody tell them. The menu includes hot dogs, wings, burgers and brunch on the weekends. Angry Dog has been open for more than 25 years and is a lively place to catch a game. Parking tip: find The Stack parking garage.Backyard
505 N. Good Latimer Expressway (Deep Ellum)Backyard is the wilder, younger sibling of Bottled Blonde. There's a giant outdoor space here with 45 TVs and a lot of games to play.

4315 Bryan St. (East Dallas)This low-key Old East Dallas neighborhood bar offers from-scratch pizzas, better-than-it-should-be bar food and Philly cheesesteaks, plus a great patio. Inside, Bryan Street Tavern has pool, darts and shuffleboard. In addition to TVs throughout the space, there's a large-screen projector for big game days. Oh, and you can bring your dog.Chelsea Corner
4830 McKinney Ave. This Knox neighborhood bar has been around since 1974 but has had so much Botox that it looks frankly stunning for being older than Jaws. Chelsea Corner has about two dozen large HD TVs around the space, both inside and out on the 2,500-square-foot, dog-friendly patio. Try the Buffalo Chicken Dip with smoky chicken, Buffalo sauce, queso, cheddar and cream cheese. Yes, seriously all that in one melty bowl. Join the online waitlist before heading over.Christie’s
2817 Greenville Ave. (Lower Greenville)Christie’s is perhaps the most essential sports bar in Dallas. We can’t even count the number of TVs here (rumor has it that it's more than 60). Just know, no matter where you sit you can see several TVs at once. Follow Christie’s on Instagram for game-day specials. The menu runs from charcuterie boards to Frito Pie and dips galore. A party platter is loaded with game-day favorites for $30. FANZO Sports Bar
5977 Preston Road (Frisco)FANZO Sports Bar is a 5,000-square-foot behemoth on all the sports steroids on Preston Road, just north of Lebanon Road. The two-story space has lots of seating and TVs for your crew. There are plenty of fun snacks, meals and more liquid than you know what to do with. Watch for game day and brunch specials. Ferris Wheelers Backyard
1950 Market Center Blvd. Even if you're not interested in the game so much, the barbecue game at this large lovely outdoor space in west-ish Dallas is on point. Get The Texas Trinity Platter for $26 with brisket, two smoked spare ribs, a sausage line and one side. Or the Full Ride, half a pound of all smoked meats with two sides served family style, all of which is enough for up to six people. Frankie's Downtown
1303 Main St. (Downton Dallas)Frankie's is a longtime downtown sports favorite. It can get pretty busy on game days, but it's more fun that way. Service is always quick, and the food is always good. If you're downtown and want to be serious about your sports intake, this is your spot. Happiest Hour
2616 Olive St. (Victory Park)Happiest Hour near Victory Park is a frat party without pretentiousness and self-loathing. Well, maybe a wee bit. Either way, for a big party vibe, this is the place to be. There’s a big bar downstairs and another on the rooftop, plus a restaurant and a few lawn areas. And foot-long fried cheese sticks. See? Big party vibes. More than 40 TVs around the space guarantee you can't miss a play (even if you want to). Hero by HG
3090 Nowitzki Way (Victory Park)Hero sits in the shadows of the American Airlines Center. It fancies itself “a modern sports bar and restaurant with a vintage flair” and that’s fine. You can be whoever you want to be, HERO. There's a 24-foot HD screen and TVs throughout the really large restaurant and bar. This space is big, fits a lot of people and can get packed. Make reservations or you can just try your luck. I’m excited for you. You’re gonna have so much fun here.Katy Trail Ice House
3127 Routh St.The Katy Trail Ice House provides a cross-section of people-watching, great outdoor space and sports. The food is good. Perched along the Katy Trail jogging trail, this large restaurant and bar will be packed any day the weather is even close to decent. They always have the sports games on the tellies, flowing throughout with sound on. Try a Deep Eddy lemon vodka Blue Moon Lemonade. Damn, that sounds so good right now. There' a full food menu and barbecue Thursday through Sunday until they run out. Amazingly for the large space, service is always quick. Nodding Donkey
2900 Thomas Ave.This neighborhood bar with a from-scratch kitchen has about 20 TVs. There's also some patio space that is open when the weather is nice. From brisket queso to stacked nachos, there are all manner of game-day staples, and some not-so-common items, like Donkey Balls. The Purple Nurple and Donkey Juice are sure to keep you hydrated (don’t even ask what’s in those, as if it matters). On Sundays you can (but shouldn’t) get $5 Jager shots from 1 p.m. to close.Old Monk
2847 W. Henderson Ave.The Old Monk is a classic. It's a favorite. It's a beaut, Clark. The dark cozy pub is adorned with old lighting fixtures from a Pennsylvania monastery. On game days, there's a big screen with the sound on, so shhhhhh! JK. You can be loud. This pub keeps a curated selection of craft beers on draught, plus there are 50 selections in cans from England, Ireland Germany and Belgium. The fish and chips never miss and the burgers are superior. Ozona Grill & Bar
4615 Greenville Ave.Have you seen Ozona's patio big-screen TV — from an airplane? Because if the flight pattern is right, you likely could. There's a new ginormous screen on the patio of this place, which we already have long loved for the brunch bloody mary bar. There are seasonal coolers and heaters outside to make game days pleasant. Plus the burgers, nachos and chicken fried steak are all spot on.PHD – Pour House Dallas
1300 W. Davis St. This low-key sports bar has a large (temp-controlled) patio and 26 TVs great for watching all the sports. Prices at PHD are one of the many appealing features here; there's not a plate on the menu for more than $20. They have nachos, burgers, wings and more, and most of the house cocktails are under $10. Check out the always-updated specials for any other day of the week. Stan's Blue Note
2908 Greenville Ave. Certified one of the best places to watch sports in Dallas, Stan's is decked in TVs and big energy. This humble Lower Greenville joint has been open since 1952 and hasn't missed a single game in all that time — probably. Get burgers and big platters of appetizers. Happy hour runs from 4 to 7 p.m. if you want to pregame. ![The sushi boat at Marquee Sushi.](https://media1.dallasobserver.com/dal/imager/u/blog/18571819/sushi_marquee_-_sushi_boat_-_sushi_marquee.jpg?cb=1720628122)
