Best-of list · Sports Guide
Ten ranked Nashville bars to watch the game, from Broadway's 45-screen brewhouses to West End porch TVs, with NFL Sunday Ticket and matchday tips.
The short answer
10 ranked rooms follow. How we picked is at the end of this guide.
Nashville watches the game on two fronts. Downtown along Broadway, the honky-tonks and brewhouses stack screens by the dozen and fill for the Titans, the SEC and NFL Sunday Ticket. Out in the neighborhoods, from West End to Green Hills and Hillsboro Village, the rooms are bigger, calmer and built for a full day of football with patios and porch TVs. For a marquee game downtown, book ahead. These ten cover both the Broadway noise and the neighborhood comfort.
Along Broadway the screens come by the dozen and the rooms fill for the Titans and the NFL Sunday slate, so book ahead for the big games.
How we picked
Match the room to the moment. For a downtown NFL Sunday with every game on, Broadway Brewhouse leads, with Barstool and Tin Roof close behind for a big crowd, and book ahead for a marquee fixture. For a calmer day of college football, head to Double Dogs, Crows Nest or Jed's porch. Confirm the kickoff, grab a Bushwacker, and settle in.
Every bar on this list was checked against its own current listing plus at least one independent guide before publishing, and ranked on the game day specifics that matter: screen count and sight lines, the channels and feeds available, the leagues shown, the crowd, and how the room handles a marquee night. We exclude venues we could not verify as open and showing live sport. For the method behind every game day guide, see our pillar guide to watching the game.
