Best Sports Bar in Washington DC

Best days for Best Sports Bar in Washington DC

Map My Location
Capitol Lounge
229 Pennsylvania Ave SE Washington DC, DC 20003
(202) 547-2098
They have tons of TVs and there is always sports on, but this bar can be known to pull a very non-American move and put English Soccer league on every TV, which is downright wrong. However, there is no other sports bar in the city that will have this many women asking you what a "yellow card" means, so go there. Open Mon 2:30pm-2am; Tue-Thu 3pm-2am; Fri-Sat 10am-3am; Sun 10am-midnight
Buffalo Billiards
1330 19th St NW Washington DC, DC 20036
(202) 331-7665
It's a huge bar with lots of pool tables, lots of TVs and lots of sports fans period. We think they have food too. Nothing spectacular but when you are looking for sports in DC, your options are limited. Open Mon 4pm-2am; Tue-Thu 4pm-2am; Fri 4pm-3am; Sat 1pm-3am; Sun 1pm-12am
ESPN Zone
555 12th St. NW Washington DC, DC 20004
(202) 783-3776
It's ESPN Sportzone so you know what you are getting - overpriced beer, snooty staff and lots of tourists. However, you are also getting plenty of TVs and a downtown location. So call your bookie and let him know where you'll be, so long as it is before midnight, when they shut their doors even if you're watching extra innings on ESPN!!! ridiculous. They need to put the Sports Guy, Bill Simmons, in charge of this franchise, or the Milwaukee Bucks. Sunday - Thursday Open at 11:30 a.m. Close at 11 p.m. Friday - Saturday Open at 11:30 a.m Close at 12:00 a.m
Penn Ave Pour House
319 Pennsylvania Ave SE Washington DC, DC 20003
(202) 546-1001
If Capitol Lounge had a slightly hotter sister who got far less attention, this would be her. She doesn't give it up like Cap Lounge, but you'll want to stick with her longer and learn that she has more to offer in the long run. Got it? Also, they are a block apart so shop for the best crowd and then pick one. Also if you are fans of Pittsburg Steelers Nation, Florida Gators, and Michigan Wolverines then this is the place you wanna be! Open Mon-Thu, Sat 11am-11pm, Sun 4pm-11pm
Champps Americana (Arlington)
1201 S. Joyce Street Arlington, VA 22202
(703) 414-3601
Maybe you've been to one of these before? Well, they're all the same so expect much of the same, great bar food, plenty of TVs, the game you want to watch playing on the other side of the room and a waitress who rejects your advances so she can continue to date the assistant manager of the Cheesecake Factory. Mon-Fri 11:00 a.m.-2:00 a.m. Sat 10:00 a.m.-2:00 a.m. Sun 10:00 a.m.-11:00 p.m.
Summers
1520 N Courthouse Rd Arlington , VA 22201
(703) 528-8278
Locals will read this and say What?! But here’s the thing about Summers, it technically has everything you are looking for. Lots of flat screens, every game on, a reasonable policy about changing channels, bad bar food, a huge smoking section and huge non-smoking section, jumbo beers and jumbo beers. Here is why people hate it, it looks like an old Big Boy family restaurant, its patrons have been sitting on that barstool since 1984 and it just feels a bit weird. And it plays lots of English Soccer, ugh. Check it out though, because they are going to sell this property in the next 5-8 years, guaranteed.
Tortoise and the Hare
567 South 23rd Street Arlington , VA 22202
(703) 979-1872
If you’re in Crystal City, there are several sports bar choices. Bailey’s is great. Crystal City Sports Pub is pretty good and Tortoise and the Hare is the new kid on the block. We’re trying here first, and if it’s crowded, we’re reassessing.
