Few things are better than heading to your local sports bar for the big game, but the experience hinges on more than just a victory for the home team. To create an environment you’ll want to visit for every kickoff, tip-off, and puck drop, a sports bar needs this important trifecta.

Sports Bar Must-Haves

1. Drinks

You can’t be expected to revel in your team’s achievements without a cold drink in your hand. A great sports bar will have a full selection of thirst-quenching beers on hand (both domestic and import) and a healthy menu of classy cocktails for those who like to toast a victory with a bit more decorum. Of course, an accommodating sports bar will cater to the wine drinkers of the world as well.

2. Televisions

Gone are the days when a tiny CRT TV tucked away in a dusty corner served as an adequate viewing experience. To draw in hordes of enthusiastic fans, a sports bar needs to have high-definition televisions viewable from nearly any angle. The only reason you should have to take your eyes off of the game is to line up the perfect pool shot.

3. Recreational Games

After the game ends, patrons need a bevy of fun activities to keep the good times rolling. Whether you’re a pool shark, darts master, shuffleboard maven, cornhole royalty, or poker pro, you should be able to show off your skills at your local sports bar. Offering karaoke on select nights is another fun (and often somewhat off-key) way for a sports bar to provide entertainment.

Whether you’re sitting down to enjoy the big game or looking to enjoy some games with friends, there’s no better sports bar than The Office Lounge in Foley, AL. The popular late-night spot hosts the only indoor cornhole and shuffleboard in the area and serves a wide variety of beer, cocktails, and wine to please all palates.
