Welcoming “all hockey freaks and beer geeks,” in its own words, this Arvada newcomer is an especially good bet when the Avs are playing, though its 20 TVs (including a large projector) tune into other sports as well. And while local brews are its bread and butter, the bartenders have fun with concoctions like the Meat Injector (whiskey with an au jus back) as the kitchen whips up the likes of poutine, mac-and-cheese, and fried chicken sandwiches.

The numbers add up: With nearly 20 TVs mounted both inside and out on its heater-lined 4,000-square-foot patio plus some 60 brews on tap, this place is a sure bet on game day. And the menu is as sprawling as the space, offering everything from fried pickles and PB&J-topped burgers to burritos and ahi tuna bowls.

With personality to spare, this LoHi hangout welcomes a mixed crowd: While it’s got TVs aplenty for the sports fans, it’s also got affordably priced, generously poured drinks and borderline-gourmet bar fare, as the kitchen makes everything from pork rinds and pastrami to falafel and veggie burgers from scratch.

While this upbeat two-story hangout in the shadow of Coors Field is lined with TVs tuned into games galore, its shelves are stocked with more than 100 whiskeys and its taps filled with 30 beers to ensure good times no matter the score. The kitchen, for its part, specializes in fried chicken, but it’s also known for its ahi tuna nachos.

In addition to catering to local pro-sports fans (and those of the Patriots and 49ers), this longtime LoDo fixture attracts alumni from Michigan State, Notre Dame, USC, and around a dozen other universities who come to watch their teams play on its 70 HD TVs. Afterward, they can all get in on the action of arcade games like skee ball, pop-a-shot basketball, and shuffleboard while knocking back $10 beer-and-shot combos alongside nachos and burgers — not to mention Blake Street’s famous green chile.

With a giant projection screen as well as a couple of TVs, this Stanley Marketplace brewery serves as a sports fan’s oasis in the midst of the family-friendly action, made all the better by a roster of Latin-inspired beers such as the Coco-Xoco Porter and the Chupaguava Blonde Ale.

Mile High City soccer fans deserve a watering hole to call their own. They have one in The British Bulldog, which has been known to open as early as 5:30 a.m. for English Premier League matches. Cozy, quaint pub atmosphere; a beer list heavy on imports; and a menu that features dishes such as bangers and mash and saag paneer round out the across-the-pond experience.

Though it’s a sibling to the adjacent Rhein Haus (see below), Wally’s sports a whole different vibe: It’s a dead ringer for a cozy Midwestern watering hole, complete with a selection of beers both German and local, regionally appropriate eats like fried walleye and grilled cheese with chili, and Packers games on the tube — except, of course, when the Broncos are playing.

This Colorado-themed Uptown hub (there’s also a location on Lincoln Street) has it all: In addition to more than 30 TVs tuned into every game imaginable, it’s also got a lengthy cocktail and beer list, an equally extensive menu that ranges from mini corn dogs and pizza fries to Cobb salads and veggie burgers, and a rocking happy hour that extends from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays.

From NFL games to UFC matches to air guitar championships (really), there’s always something to watch at this gourmet burger joint — and of course there’s plenty to pair with it, including a selection of around 50 beers and burgers like the signature Shroom Luva’s and the Go Broncos with two cheeses, chorizo, and chipotle aioli.

Billing itself as “Denver’s only gay sports bar,” Tight End is a lot more than that, as it also hosts poker clubs, DJ and karaoke sets, open-stage drag shows, and more while serving up drink specials galore on game days. Come for the action, stay for the community.

The TVs mounted throughout this sprawling 9+CO hot spot are so strategically placed that there’s nary a seat without a view of at least one, yet the vibe remains more upscale-casual than downright sporty. Complemented by craft cocktails, the food also transcends the genre: Think charcuterie boards, black truffle–mushroom pizza with smoked-onion Alfredo sauce, and roasted-squash ravioli in brown-butter vinaigrette.

Especially for soccer and hockey fans (not to mention pool players), this rustic Czech tavern is always a good time. Knock back a Krušovice, dig into some schnitzel or goulash, and prepare to let out a hearty “na zdraví!” or two amid the lively crowd.
