A State-by-State Guide to the Best Sports Bars

While people around the world frequent bars of all shapes and sizes, sports bars cater to a very specific crowd. Sports bars are typically more casual and feature food like nachos, wings, burgers, and various types of beers. People go to sports bars for the comfortable atmosphere, the friendly staff, and the countless televisions broadcasting all kinds of sports games.

According to the web scraping service Smartscrapers, as of March 15 this year, there were some 17,328 sports bars around the nation. Of these, Texas led the pack with 1,849, followed by California with 1,677 and Florida with 1,409.

With so many to choose from, how is a sports fan supposed to choose where to go for the next big game? To answer that question, 24/7 Tempo reviewed "The Best Sports Bars in the United States, Ranked," published BetUS, an online betting site, and extrapolated the highest-rated example in every state.

The site ranked sports bars based on average Google review scores, the cheapest beer price, and the price of a hamburger. The No. 1 sports bar in the entire country, according to BetUS's calculations, is also the best one in Mississippi — The Project Lounge. In all, seven of the top 10 sports bars nationwide are represented here. (No matter how highly rated a place is, these are 13 things you should never order in a bar.)
