Fortunately for Austin, there’s no shortage of sports bars. Knowing this gives us joy because that means there’s a Happy Hour to be found, delicious grub to be munched on, and a sport to be showcased! Whether you’re a football fanatic or love the intensity of soccer, you can enjoy your favorite team compete at the Best Sports Bars in Austin.

Sports Bars in Downtown Austin

For some reason, downtown Austin brings a different game-day-ready intensity and we’re here for it. The classic watering hole Little Woodrow’s has the hottest happy hours and we love that paws are allowed on the patio too. Additionally, Moody’s Kitchen + Bar has some yummy grub. You can never go wrong with pizza, wings, and beer! These have got to be some of our favorite sports bars in Downtown Austin, all thanks to their vibes.

Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden

One of the best places to enjoy your favorite teams offers expansive patio space and buckets of beer. We’re talking about Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden on West 6th, which is home to some of the best game-day parties around! Buford’s is a great place to congregate with all of your friends and share classic pub food, beer buckets, or cocktails, and have a grand Sunday Funday. Hands down, it’s got to be one of our favorite sports bars in Downtown Austin!
