There are plenty of things to see and do in Boulder but sometimes finding somewhere to watch the big game is required. For many local NFL fans, when the football season is underway, they have some tried and tested bars they tend to rely on. From serving delicious local beverages to offering tasty grub, there are some excellent spots.

Places where football fans congregate and celebrate any memorable victories by chanting in unison, some of the city’s popular sports bars are even places where friendships can be made. After all, given the fact that people with a shared interest are occupying the same space, it’s only natural that conversations would occur. It might be over a team lineup, discussions around the latest NFL MVP odds, fantasy picks, or even any game-changing moments on the field.

With the new season ahead and Boulder’s sports bars aiming to cater to passionate football fans once again, below we briefly highlight some of the best sports bars in the city. If you’re into the NFL, then you can’t really go wrong with these sports-mad locations.

Avanti Food & Beverage

Kicking things off with one of the biggest locations in the city, Avanti Food & Beverage is essentially a food hall that is more than happy to house large populations of passionate NFL fans. A fantastic place to watch an epic encounter and demolish some truly delectable delights at the same time, it’s worth noting that not every single NFL encounter is on show there. However, it does show every NFL game on Sundays via Sunday Ticket on the 4th floor, with hundreds of local NFL fans favoring this perfect spot throughout the NFL campaign.

The Lab Bar & Bites

A popular place for many NFL fans, particularly the city’s younger community, given the fact that it’s close to campus, The Lab Bar & Bites is a brilliant bar to watch the NFL. Don’t expect anything special in this one, but it will more than suffice. Specializing in burgers and beer, while also boasting five television screens to watch the action on, The Lab Bar & Bites is worth considering this season.

Outback Saloon

A warm and welcoming location that the local neighborhood rates highly, the Outback Saloon caters to every type of sports fans. When the football action is unfolding on the big screen, you can watch it intensely through the venue’s 14 screens or calm your nerves with a game of pool against a loved one. Also serving up a fine selection of food and drink, the Outback Saloon should be experienced this campaign.

West End Tavern

A sports bar with a strong reputation in the city, the West End Tavern has been looking after Boulder’s sports fans for a good few years now. Alongside showcasing other sporting action, such as the NBA and the English Premier League, the West End Tavern is the place to be for huge NFL clashes. Once you arrive, you can order some of the bar’s delicious whiskey or beer, alongside tucking into a juicy burger and even some classic American barbecue. Also offering Game Day specials during the football season, the West End Tavern is a great spot.

World Famous Dark Horse

Another top-notch venue to watch the NFL this season is undoubtedly World Famous Dark Horse, a place where you won’t miss a second of the action on the field due to their array of screens. Alongside the impressive selection of screens to watch the game on, this beloved bar also offers game day promotions, while it’s open late in case you want to celebrate a win in style.
