Sports bars with great food in Las Vegas for all the football action - Eater Vegas

Catch the Formula One Grand Prix in Las Vegas while eating great food

Las Vegas went from promising rookie to big-league sports town faster than a Formula 1 car can speed down the neon-lit Strip. Now, it’s a winning, full-throttle professional sports city. The Vegas Golden Knights raised the Stanley Cup in just their sixth season and our WNBA Las Vegas Aces won back-to-back championships.

Sports fans are coming to Las Vegas in big numbers and they’re finding ample places to play, drink and eat. From reliable neighborhood sports bars to Strip resorts, the places to catch a game seem to multiply each day. So, what makes a great sports bar? Often, it involves dozens of television screens, seating for all those fans, and an exceptional menu featuring craggy chicken wings, stacked sandwiches, smash burgers, and more unique dishes that can carry a game-watcher through overtime. So place your bets, then head out to one of these sports bars for your fill of game-day action and championship-caliber food.

The Wisconsin-influenced bar in the northwest leans on dishes such as poutine fries, pints of bacon, Bavarian hot pretzels, and Wisconsin beer cheese soup. Bratwursts, a pimento sandwich on Texas toast, and a chicken schnitzel sandwich go well with the beers brewed in-house and the mighty roster of craft brews.
