Looking for a sports bar in Seattle for watching the game?
Not every sports bar is created equal, so we rounded up your very best options. If a big game is on, these Seattle sports bars are ready to give you the best possible viewing experience. Whether you like a cozy dive bar vibe or you just want to go to the bar with the most TVs, there’s a sports bar on this list for you.
Here are the top sports bars in Seattle for watching the game:
1. Rough & Tumble Pub, Ballard
Rough & Tumble Pub just opened in Ballard this past summer. It happens to be Seattle’s first women’s sports bar but it’s a great gathering place to watch almost any game. They have more than a dozen screens showing the game with the volume up as well as a “stacked menu” of game-day favorites like nachos and wings.
2. The Bridge, West Seattle
If you’re planning to watch the big game in West Seattle, Westy’s is a great option. This neighborhood dive bar has plenty of TVs—even some outside on their heated patio. They open at 10:00 a.m. on Sundays so show up before they get crowded for any big games like the Super Bowl.
3. Trade Winds Tavern, Belltown
This cozy pub in Belltown calls itself a “sports bar for everyone (even those who don’t like sports bars).” They always have the big games playing on their TVs along with “all the comfort food and craft cocktails you could ever need.”
4. The Octopus Bar, Wallingford
This funky nautical-themed bar in Wallingford isn’t technically labeled a sports bar but you’ll definitely find plenty of folks catching a game on one of their TVs on a regular basis. That being said, we actually recommend this spot for those who are more interested in watching the half-time performance than the actual game.
5. Xtadium Lounge, Pioneer Square
If you’re looking for a large, upscale bar for catching the big game, head to Xtadium Lounge in Pioneer Square. They have plenty of big-screen TVs plus a LED wall for game day display and a 50-foot bar. For the Super Bowl they typically have no cover and a free raffle with signed prizes.
6. Über Tavern, Greenwood
Über Tavern is a cozy dive bar that has a huge beer selection and tables with fire pits.
7. Buckley’s, Queen Anne & Belltown
Choose between Buckley’s Queen Anne and Belltown locations for the big game. Keep in mind that the Queen Anne Buckley’s is more family-friendly. Both have a laid-back, welcoming ambiance and plenty of TVs for catching the game.
8. The Westy, West Seattle
A second option for those in West Seattle is The Westy. They have 18 TVs and food that’s better than what you’d find at your average sports bar. You can also find their second location in Roosevelt.
9. Madison Pub, Capitol Hill
If you combine a sports bar and a gay bar you get Madison Pub in Capitol Hill. According to their website, “Sunday is Funday with free pool, darts, Pac-Man and U-shell peanuts.”
10. Queen Anne Beer Hall, Lower Queen Anne
Queen Anne Beer Hall is a fun place to go with a group. This authentic beer hall in Seattle has communal tables, plenty of beer and comfort food, and big TVs for watching the game.
Have fun cheering on your team!
