Sports Games are Better at a Bar

Nothing beats watching a great rivalry game in a bar. We have nothing against driving to Tampa to watch a Bucs game at Raymond James Stadium. There are, however, some nice advantages to hitting up your local pub for sports spectatorship.

Don’t worry, we intend to prove that by illustrating these terrific reasons to watch games at a bar instead.

Going to a Bar Versus the Stadium

• So Many Viewing Options

• • • Have you ever gotten a nose-bleed seat at a stadium and had buyer’s remorse because of a poor view? Well, you never have to worry about that in a sports bar like Ed’s Tavern. We have huge screens all over the place, covering every viewing angle. Folks never have to fight over game selection either, because we can literally play several all at once.

• Better & More Affordable Food/Drinks

• • • The stadium is also going to charge you an arm and a leg for even so much as a small bag of peanuts. This is completely different in a bar, especially if you come for a game during Happy Hour. Instead of paying $6 or more for the worst beer at the stadium, come get a $2 draft with us.

• Easier to Socialize with Fellow Fans

• • • Bars are still one of the most fun places to socialize. Football and beer are easy ways to bond with someone you would otherwise never encounter. 

• Easier to Heckle the Opposition

• • • If you heckle or get too loud at the stadium, the security folks are more likely to give you a hard time. In bars, we practically encourage it. As long as nobody fights or gets rude with another, heckling non-Florida teams is perfectly fine (and encouraged!).
