Never been a fan of the new Ten...lots of service problems, and they constantly have DJs blaring music to an empty room, or a room full of loud, drunk, out of towners [deleted] cause the Red Sox game isn't on every tv.

City Tavern is the best atmosphere, but they are down to one tuner now and are stuck on the old tube tvs. C'mon, boys, let's get the upgrade...upgrade. But a great bar that shows sports (one at a time!).

Press Box is a nice sports bar; good happy hour stuff, but they have weird hours...only open after nine like two nights a week.

I gave up on the Board Room when 1. I walked in at 4:00 and they told me to come back in an hour, when they open, then 2. when I did return, I asked for a Maker's Manhattan on the rocks, and she said, "How do you make that, again?"

Honestly, when I want to watch sports in a bar downtown, I go to Ravenna pizza on Main and Field. He's got two HD plasmas going, and he'll show whatever you ask, usually one is on soccer, which suits me fine.

I don't consider the McKinney Ave sports bars in the same category, they are all fine.

Disclaimer: I live downtown, so I'm not talking about watching "the big game," just when I want to watch the Rangers and have a few cold ones outside of my living room.

We have lots of decent suburban sports bars in DC, none downtown that really do it. The Green Turtle is pretty popular, but the food is low end. Clydes is great, but not really a sports bar. In the suburbs, The Front Page in Arlington, Bugsy's in Alexandria, Hard Times in Springfield and Woodbridge. Dave and Busters in Rockville is supposed to be pretty good, but never been there. As one poster said above, it depends on what sport your are into. If its the kind of evening sports Stallion is seeking, then a sports bar is not where you want to go.

Frankie's in uptown is pretty sweet... I go there for lunch when I need a beverage.
