1. State Street Brats, WISCONSIN
When thinking about authenticity, there is no question that the cheese curds
at State Street Brats and the manner in which they are served are at the top
of the list. Students and locals dine at State Street Brats to watch
football and other sports while enjoying a brat and a beer: how much more
authentic can a place get?
2. The Houndstooth, ALABAMA
The Houndstooth Sports Bar opened its doors in July of 1988 at 1300
University Blvd. in Tuscaloosa Alabama . Offers a comfortable and friendly
atmosphere with a wide array of drinks and the coldest beer in town. We now
have over 40 high definition flat screen tv’s located throughout the bar and
even in the bathrooms so you won’t miss any action of your favorite game.
3. Eskimo Joe's, OKLAHOMA STATE
Eskimo Joe's was the brainchild of Steve File, a pal of Stan Clark since the
two were in fifth grade. One fateful Sunday afternoon in May, 1975, Steve
proclaimed, "Hey, I'm gonna open a bar!" Stan said, "I know where there's a
two-story building for rent. I'll go in partners with you!" Within minutes,
these two wild and crazy guys had agreed to rent the building at 501 W. Elm.
4. Harpo's, MISSOURI
29 South 10th St., Columbia
An eight-hour journey from Tuscaloosa to Columbia stretches into OT thanks to two missed exits, but it's shortened -- in spirit -- by that which we call "iPod." (Road tip: "Shuffle" is to the iPod what Taco Bell is to late-night snacking. Wilco: great for sing-alongs. Coldplay: not so much.)
