Football season is upon us, which means you gotta find a good bar to drink beer and cheer on your teams. Lexington has all kinds of places to drink, which is good cause I like to drink, but when selecting a sports bar, atmosphere, food, specials and tvs are key to finding the perfect place to get soused.
Sports bars are all traditionally the same; Tv's, beer and an Americana menu with tons of sports memorabilia on the walls. Most of the time, better the sports bar, the more shit on the walls. I like knick-knacks, but that isn't the most important thing on game day, great drink and food specials along with glorious tv's, are a necessity.
Winchell's on Southland Dr. If you want to go local (and I love going local) there are a few sports pubs dotting the Lexington Bar-scape. My personal fav is Winchell's. The food is off the hook, the beer prices are amazing, the atmosphere wreaks of sports fans, and most importantly, it is off the main drag. This is in my top 5 of awesome Lexington Sports bars.
Campus Pub on Waller Ave. Super close to campus with great food, great drink prices, tv's and pool and darts. This place is for the college kid with A-D-D. Campus Pub is really fun to go, but it does have a tendency to get blowed up during games, but if you're looking for a crowd to get rowdy with, this is pretty unbeatable. Campus Pub is a must during basketball season, but it can be a bit tricky to get to during football season, since it is so close to campus.
Other notables are: Patchen Pub, Shamrocks, O'neills, ,Marrikka's and Two Keys. If you'd rather go chain you could always check out Buffalo Wild Wings, Applebees and Beef o'Brady's
But let's be honest, if a place has tv's and serves beer, it is going to be awesome where ever you are. Go Cats
