Last Thursday brought the first kick-off of the 2019 NFL season. And after sitting on the couch with my husband for 12+ hours between last Thursday and Sunday, it’s safe to say, yes, even I want to know where the best places to watch football games are – because the couch gets old and the fridge gets empty.
We asked for yall’s help with compiling a list of the best sports bars to catch an NFL game in Columbia; places with tons of TVs, good food + drink specials, family-friendly – the whole package. Here’s what you told us. 👇
The Grand on Main
“@thegrandonmain has a ton of TVs and projection screens behind the bowling lanes!” -@coladecola
Buffalo Wild Wings
“...my suggestion (although admittedly a chain) is BWW. Spent many afternoons watching the USWNT games there this summer.” -@badgalriritata
Backstreets Grill
“@backstreetsgrill: a ton of TVs and the best wings!” -@kmaloney28
Home Team BBQ
“🖐” -@hometeambbqcola
Thirsty Fellow
“Thirsty fellow!! Local, tons of tvs, outdoor seating, never too crowded 🙌🏼” -@1992explorer
Old Chicago
“Old Chicago in front of the Adluh Flour mill has plenty of tv’s inside and on the patio. They have NFL ticket, SEC package, and ACC network for all the Clemson fans who are having a tough time finding the games this year because of new ACC network programming. 36 local and international beers on tap. Drink twelve beers for Oktoberfest and get a sweet hoodie!” -@joshuahuffstetler
World of Beer
“@wobcolumbia for sure! So many tv’s with the NFL package AND food and drink specials for all NFL and gamecock games! 🏈🏈🏈” -@caitdauscher
