Widescreen TVs and ice cold beer aren’t the only features that will make a sports bar the best.
There are at least four things that every sports bar should possess, and these features will set a good sports bar apart from a poor sports bar. Here they are:
Large HDTVs with sports channels
No sports bar is complete without numerous large LED TV sets. The number of TVs that are needed depends on the size of the bar. If it's a huge space, there should be several TV sets per wall. Not all of them should be set to the same sport. You should be able to watch a good variety of games in different areas of the sports bar.
Superior pub style food and beer
The food inside the sports bar should be nice. It doesn’t have to be competing with a 3-star Michelin restaurant, but it should at least be fresh and tasty. There should be a fine selection of food as well. Most sports bar offer wings, various fried appetisers, burgers, and sandwiches. And don’t forget that their prices should be reasonable.
When watching sports, most patrons prefer to have an ice cold beer or two. A good sports bar should have a good beer selection with local favourites, Australian favourites, and some popular imported beers. The most famous beer should be available on tap, and bottles should be accessible to everything else.
Accessibility
A sports bar that does well is in a good location. They are located where patrons can easily access them and also in a good area of the city. They should be accessible to drive to when watching a game outdoors is appealing. There should be plenty of parking space, too.
Good atmosphere
A good sports bar should have an energetic and dynamic atmosphere. Patrons should be able to sit and watch their sports game without the interference of other rowdy customers. Loud music also tends to ruin the mood when the big game is on and patrons can't hear it.
