This weekend looks a lot like last weekend, and that's a good thing as Las Vegas continues to celebrate Pride, the World Series of Poker, and of course, the Vegas Golden Knights, who are up 2-0 in the Stanley Cup finals.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road to endless amounts of fun this weekend in the form of a theatrical production of The Wizard of Oz unlike anything you can even begin to imagine, several Juneteenth celebrations, Design Week, a birthday bash at SF’s oldest Bavarian beer hall, the return of West Coast Craft, live music all over the Mission, and more.

You like sports. You like bars. Here are the best sports bars in Seattle with tasty food and dozens of big screen TVs.

Seattle

Flatstick Pub

Whether or not you’re a true, die-hard sports fan, Seattle’s selection of sports bars has something for everyone. Think <a href="https://www.thrillist.com/drink/seattle/best-dive-bars-in-seattle" target="_blank">locals-only dive bars</a>, chain restaurants (for those of us who hate surprises), and German bier halls… while we can’t guarantee a win, we can almost always guarantee a good, relatively cheap beer. That said, the Seahawks may have been less than perfect this season, but a good drink at your favorite dive never lets you down. Ahead, the 12 best sports bars in Seattle, compiled for both sports lovers and less enthusiastic attendees alike.

Über Tavern used to be known for one thing (besides, obviously, its massive beer selection): tots. As of January, however, tot fest is now brat fest, which will presumably be a continuation of weekly themed eats, cooked out front on Monday nights and sold for a few bucks a pop. Also on deck is a huge selection of beer, no matter the day of the week, and, of course, sports on the TV.

Über Tavern

Prost! is all about keeping the German bier tradition alive, which means you won’t find any fruity IPAs here (try a dark roasted malt or a light wheat ale instead). The food is equally traditional, and whether you’re in <a href="https://www.prosttavern.net/" target="_blank">Phinney Ridge</a> or <a href="https://www.prosttavern.net/" target="_blank">West Seattle</a>, either location is excellent for a rowdy watch party of European football, aka soccer.

Prost! West Seattle

Prost - West Seattle

Though it's changed ownership a few times since opening a decade ago, this contemporary tavern is one of a string of interesting bars on 36th street (we're also big fans of the winter sports themed Woodsky's next door), but it's the only one with 15 TVs, a slew of bar games (shuffleboard, beer pong, etc.), and is the one with the best burgers, including The Big Dawg, a double cheeseburger with bacon &amp; grilled onions.

LTD BAR AND GRILL

LTD Bar + Grill

This no frills drinking destination is slightly misnamed, but is close enough to the water we're willing to overlook it -- especially on a sunny day when you can actually see the lake across the street from their sprawling patio. Inside, The Dock is timeworn in all the best ways, with more than a dozen TVs, a few arcade-style game cabinets, 22 beers on tap, and a full… and we mean full… menu featuring everything from blackened corn on the cob to a Walk of Shame breakfast sandwich with three types of meat, egg &amp; cheese on brioche.

The Dock Sports Bar & Grill

Named after a pub in London that dates back to the Middle Ages, it seems like The George &amp; Dragon has always been the most popular soccer bar in what is arguably America's most footy-mad city. It's obviously one of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thrillist.com/drink/seattle/seattle-world-cup-bars-2018" target="_blank">Seattle's go-to spots during the World Cup</a>, but it's packed pretty much every weekend morning when the European matches start as early as 6am, which gives you an excuse to have a beer for breakfast. And their traditional "Full English.”

George & Dragon Pub Seattle

The George & Dragon Pub

George & Dragon Pub

Posted up in the old Pig &amp; Whistle, this north-of-the-border-inspired bar is all about Canada's favorite things that don't include universal healthcare and Ryan Reynolds, including its namesake beavers (the Canuck national animal!), hockey (they show it on at least six big screens), and cuisine (poutine and, um, wait -- does Canada have other food?).

The Angry Beaver

Flatstick's original Pioneer Square location would be a can't-miss drinking destination if it were just a sprawling brick-heavy basement bar rife with industrial touches, whimsical wall art, and a few tabletop games. But it also boasts an impressive mini golf course that actually spells out "Seattle" in big block letters across the concrete floor and ends at a towering replica of the Space Needle -- the tip of which just brushes the high ceiling. Oh, and the other locations aren't too shabby either. Plus, if you need an excuse to toss back a few, on Sundays they donate a portion of every beer and every game of golf they sell to charity.

What they say about real estate is also true about the restaurant/bar industry. It's all about location, location, location. Well, The Doghouse is basically in the middle of nowhere, but there is one thing that makes it special: It's literally right next to one of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thrillist.com/entertainment/seattle/best-strip-clubs-in-seattle" target="_blank">Seattle's best stripclubs</a>, which means even if the games on the place's nine big screens don't keep you entertained, something else probably could.

The Doghouse Bar & Grill 

Boasting seven locations across the US and Canada, Spin's latest location fashionably fills nearly 10,000 square feet in the basement of the historic Decatur Building with a dozen ping pong tables, a massive bar, and original graffiti-style art featuring local legends like Bruce Lee and Jimi Hendrix. One thing they don't have a lot of is TVs, so this is the kind of sports bar for people who'd rather play a sport than watch one.

SPIN (Seattle, WA)

Boasting a sparsely stylish space dominated by a black chain-link fence, and custom baseball bat art, Rookies is locally-owned, and serves a locally-sourced menu -- shrimp tacos with pineapple salsa, fish &amp; chips, plus all the usual stuff -- to a mostly local crowd given its location is far flung Columbia City. That said, it’s still worth a visit for a lively place to catch literally any sporting event on TV.

Rookies Sports Bar & Grill

This spacious spot in a turn-of-the-century building is Buckley's 2nd location (the original one in Lower Queen Anne is worth a visit too), and manages to fit in with the stylish strip of bars lining this particular stretch of 2nd Ave (while also being all about sports), as evidenced by by 22 TVs and a 5-foot projection screen, 24 beers on tap, two daily happy hours, and if that's not enough, all the banners hanging from the ceiling -- probably including one from your favorite team. No matter who it is.

Sure, Westy's two locations have TVs -- lots of them -- and show all the games, but the atmosphere is more "laid-back neighborhood bar" than "Go Hawks", and they've got solid beer/cocktail lists with over 120 whiskeys. They’ve also got some excellent, if unpretentious, food including massive waffle fries, chicken &amp; waffles with honey-butter &amp; cinnamon whiskey syrup, a NW cheesesteak with Mama Lil's Peppers, and more.

The Westy Sports and Spirits

This is not your neighborhood sports hang. It is a massive lounge boasting an LED wall for game day display, a live LED sports ticker for up to the minute scores and fantasy results, three Xbox stations with&nbsp;Madden Football,&nbsp;FIFA Soccer&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;NBA Live, tons of TVs (including a jumbotron-like installation in the middle of the room), as well as a 50-foot bar and a team of cocktail waitresses dressed like referees.
