Sports fan cheering at a bar

7 of the best places for watching sports in Phoenix

We’ve found the best spots for big screens, cold beer, and game day fun.

You don’t need to go to a stadium to cheer on your favorite team here in Phoenix: Game days are a blast at tons of bars, restaurants, and casinos in the Valley.

Whether you want to watch Spring Training, March Madness, Final Four, hockey, soccer, tennis, or other sports, here are a few of the best spots for big screens, great food and beer, and legendary camaraderie. Most have excellent happy hours and daily deals; check the websites for details.

Bonfire Craft Kitchen and Tap House

Tempe and Surprise

Bonfire has all the trappings of the usual neighborhood sports bar, including scores of screens and framed jerseys and banners (note the Michigan theme) but the wood-fired aroma wafting from the premises promises carnivorous delights that transcend mere pub grub. The pulled pork shoulder is renowned and is even better in the green chili mac and cheese. The smoked wings are impossibly crispy outside and moist and tender inside. Other treats from its scratch kitchen include baby back ribs, beef brisket, pizzas, and hearty sandwiches. The tap list is also a cut above, featuring eponymous beers brewed by local partners and standouts like Wren House Spellbinder in 16 and 32-ounce pours.

Cold Beer & Cheeseburgers

15 Valley locations

CB & CB” started in Scottsdale in 2011 and has spread to almost every area of town and beyond because it lives up to its name and then some. Screens are squeezed into every inch of space, so it’s ideal for catching any game you want. The burgers are top-notch, too: The menu boasts 18 varieties of half-pound burgers dressed up with everything from PB&J to pastrami and Swiss along with a build-your-own, vegetarian, and vegan option. This fan favorite also stands out for its impressive and extensive beer list featuring stalwart domestics and dozens of local and national craft pours on draft and in cans and bottles.

4 Valley locations

An East Valley mainstay with three locations in Mesa and one in Ahwatukee, The Hub takes the sports bar to the next level. It has numerous screens, a convivial atmosphere, superior service, and plenty of taps featuring an array of brews. Its spirits and cocktail list are solid, too, and its crazy big menu offers something for everyone, from the Iowa Pork Sandwich to the Korean BBQ Steak Bowl. And how many other bars offer more than 20 sides for their burgers and sandwiches, including garlic Cajun HUB chips, loaded mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and more?

Majerle’s Sports Grill

Phoenix and Scottsdale

The downtown Majerle’s — named after owner and Phoenix Suns legend Dan Majerle — opened in 1992 in the city’s oldest commercial building dating from 1885. Locals and visitors alike delight in the historic digs and frequently packed patio, where people always seem to be in a jolly mood, often while wearing team jerseys. Both the downtown and Desert Ridge locations have a chummy ambiance and well-executed bar food with fun names that nod to other sports figures like Jared Dudley’s Chicken sandwich and Joe Kleine’s Chicago Bleu burger.

BetMGM Sportsbook at Gila River Resorts & Casinos – Santan Mountain

Gilbert

If you want to immerse yourself in sports, a casino sportsbook is the place to go, and this one is the biggest in the state at about 7,000 square feet. It’s loaded with screens, including a massive 129-foot LED display along the main wall and screens above the bar. The space gets packed when big games or fights are on, so plan far ahead if you want to reserve a booth. The casino is worth a visit even if you’re not a gambler thanks to a light, bright design, local artwork, and outdoor desert garden areas. A few dozen domestic and craft beers are on tap, and you can grab food at the Upperdeck Deli and other casual concepts along with Honey + Vine, offering upscale cuisine with a subdued-glam aqua-and-gold ambiance — try the exceptional rotisserie half-chicken or a burger topped with bacon and tomato jam.

It features slow-cooked meats (baby back ribs, chicken breast, and pork chops), an array of pasta made from family recipes, hand-tossed New York-style pizza, made-to-order wings, soups and salads, subs and other sandwiches, and of course, burgers. It’s also worth your business for its devotion to supporting animal charities.

This family-owned local business, launched in 1995, has become synonymous with “neighborhood sports bar” for a reason. All have tons of screens, plenty of tables, friendly service, decent food and drinks at fair prices, and a fan-friendly ambiance where loud cheering is the norm.
