Philly has no shortage of sports bars that are perfect for taking in the Big Game. What is the Big Game? Any Phils, Sixers, Flyers, or Union game that gets your heart rate up — a championship or preseason game, home or away, night or day. The kind of game you want to watch at your favorite bar, beer clutched tightly in one hand and french fry hanging with anticipation from the other. Thankfully, there are more than enough local hangouts where you can do just that.

Whether you want a sports bar with 40 TVs and even more beers on draft or a late-night pizzeria with a handful of TVs in the corners, these 16 local watering holes are great places to post up, drink up, and cheer on Philly’s favorite teams.
