Bars and taverns have been popular in American culture since colonial days. Once considered important meeting spots, these locales were used for socializing, business, and politics but it wasn't until the 21st century that sports bars popped up. Although the term "sports bar" wasn't coined until 1975, Palermo's Tavern, which opened in 1933 in St. Louis, Missouri, is considered the first sports bar in the U.S. (the first "modern" sports bar is considered Legends Tavern in Long Beach, California, circa 1979). Today, the ultimate sports bar in every state can attest to the popularity of this drinking establishment.

According to IBISWorld, a company that provides industry research reports, forecasts, and company databases, there are approximately 1,461 sports bars in the U.S. as of today. This industry has grown significantly in recent years.

Choosing which location to frequent may be tough, which is why 24/7 Tempo reviewed "The Best Sports Bars in the United States, Ranked," published by BetUS, an online betting site, and extrapolated the highest-rated example to bring you the ultimate sports bars in every state. The site ranked sports bars based on average Google review scores, the cheapest beer price, and the price of a hamburger.(No matter how great a place is, these are 13 things you should never order in a bar.)
