We may still be in the dog days of summer, but it won’t be long before the Friday night lights come on and the Saturday tailgate parties kick off.
When it comes to cheering on your team, finding the ideal place to watch the game makes all the difference. Thankfully, football fans have no shortage of primo spots to pull up a stool, grab a cold one, and take in all the gridiron action.
This local spot located in nearby Driftwood is anything but your usual sports bar. Yes, it has all the typical things one expects with a sports bar, like cold draft beer, an array of TVs, and a killer basket of wings, but it’s so much more too.
For starters, the climate-controlled indoor patio area offers all of the appeal of watching the game on an outdoor patio – minus the scorching Texas heat. And should you need to burn off some stress during halftime, Driftwood also has cornhole and axe throwing!
This family-owned sports bar has two locations in the Hill Country, and whichever location you happen to visit, you’re guaranteed delicious burgers, nachos, potato skins, wraps, and other tasty eats from the scratch-made kitchen.
The bar’s welcoming atmosphere has an array of TVs throughout the restaurant, so patrons can kick back and relax without missing a second of the action. There are also pool tables and plenty of outdoor seating for a post-game nightcap with friends on the patio.
This is one local sports bar where it’s worth battling the game day traffic into Austin. For starters, the chicken fried steak at Vincent’s is some of the best in the Hill Country. The kitchen staff also knows how to make mean plates of nachos, and the fried pickles are just the thing a fan needs to calm their nerves when things go into overtime.
Like any good sports bar, Vincent’s has an impressive selection of both draft and bottle beers, as well as wine, signature cocktails, and drink specials seven (you read that right) days a week!
Hays City Store has been a Driftwood institution for decades – of course, in its earliest days, it was a gas station and convenience store before transitioning into a cafe in the 1990s. These days, however, it’s one of the best ice houses in the area and is always a popular spot to watch the game on Saturdays and Sundays.
Forty beers on tap, along with multiple TVs, a wood-fired pizza oven, and plenty of oaks to provide shade in the beer garden, add to the spot’s appeal with sports fans. Hays City Store is also a popular destination for music fans, with a full calendar of local musicians taking the stage six days a week.
Of course, the perfect place to watch the game is often right at home, where you’re guaranteed a comfy spot on the couch. If you’d like to learn more about finding your dream home in the Caliterra community, contact us today.
