Sports Bars just in time for March Madness! 🏀
I was on Reddit this morning and discovered someone had inquired about great bars for March Madness and I realized it’s a great list for getting together with friends & watching a big game!
My personal neighborhood favorite is Project 9 Brewing (1409 NE 80th Street) - it’s a fun spot for both adults and families and has a great food truck too! Technically it’s in Lake City Way but a close walk for many folks living in Wedgwood (and also Maple Leaf).
Other spots to hit:
Westy Roosevelt (1215 NE 65th Street) - is a solid neighborhood pick — better food than your typical sports bar and a good viewing setup, without having to leave the neighborhood! Stumbling distance for many folks in Ravenna.
Pub at Third Place & Cafe Arta (6504 20th Ave NE) - Cozy neighborhood pub tucked inside Third Place Books Ravenna — board games, local beers, and a bookshop vibe that makes it feel like your smartest friend's living room. Not a hard core sports bar but a viable option if you like a quieter spot.
Die Bierstube (6106 Roosevelt Way) - A raucous German tavern with 14 beers on tap, bratwurst, and TVs showing the game. Great if you love that German vibe!
Duchess Tavern (2827 NE 55th Street) - a college/sports-themed dive bar with beer, sports on TV, kitschy decor, and bar food. Pool tables, TV screens, and a full bar make it a go-to for catching the big game. Very much a Huskies bar — they sound a siren after every Husky score. Dogs welcome too.
32 Bar and Grill at Kraken Iceplex (10601 5th Ave NE) - Technically in Northgate, but if like to see the ice and love a bigger sports bar feel, this is a great spot. It’s a slightly more upscale with a bigger menu in my opinion - plus parking is super easy.
Go Huskies! 🐾
