Best Sports Bars in St. Louis

Nothing brings St. Louisans together like sports and cheering on our hometown teams. The Cardinals are as synonymous with St. Louis as the Arch, and the Blues gave the city hockey fever when they won the 2019 Stanley Cup. Looking for quality bars watch the big game? Check out our guide to the best sports bars in town.

Amsterdam Tavern

Sport: Soccer

For fans wanting to watch soccer in St. Louis, look no further than Amsterdam Tavern. This laid-back tavern in Tower Grove serves up a wide selection of craft beers and an even wider selection of “football” games, including the English Premiere League, Italian Serie A, La Liga, and MLS. Bring passion and well-rested vocal chords or get ready to be drowned out by the fervent cheers of fans sitting at an adjacent table.

SOHA Bar and Grill

Sport: Hockey

This homey neighborhood joint is known for their inventive bar food and a passionate love of the St. Louis Blues. Expect a crowd on nights when the Blues are playing—with plenty of TVs, there isn’t a bad seat in the house. As a bonus, SOHA patrons can take to the shuffleboard table if the competitive juices get too strong.

Basso

Sports: Cardinals and Blues games.

Leave your grease-stained jersey at home—the sexy and sleek Basso looks more like a James Bond hangout than your average sports bar. However, with flat screen TVs in every direction, it’s easy to keep up with a live Cardinals or Blues game. We don’t recommend bringing a date here to impress them with the upscale atmosphere while secretly watching baseball over their shoulder, but we don’t not recommend it either.

Milo's Tavern

Sports: Hockey and Bocce.

In the old-school neighborhood of The Hill there is an equally old-school spot called Milo’s Tavern, where neighbors young and old gather to shoot the breeze and drink pints over a game of bocce. Head here to catch a Blues game with the regulars—the wings are half price during Blues games on weekdays. And with bocce courts in the back, patrons can become local sports stars themselves.

Felix's Pizza Pub

Sport: Football

Pizza and beer have been a classic duo basically since mankind began using pterodactyls as a mode of transportation, which is why we can’t get enough of the pint-and-slice deal at this casual Dogtown pub. If the Rams’ departure doesn’t have you boycotting all things NFL, this is the perfect place to take in some Sunday football while hitting the Bloody Mary bar.

Southtown Pub

Sports: Cardinals and Blues games

For those who like their sports bars rowdy, Southtown Pub is where it's at. This buzzing South City bar has been keeping customers happy with cheap BBQ and buckets of Bud Light since the '80s. Offering home team specials whenever the Cards or Blues play, Southtown Pub has hometown pride on lock—and if all that still isn’t enough, the bar also offers free shuttles to Busch Stadium and Enterprise Center.

Tamm Avenue Bar

Sports: Cardinals and Blues games

Some of the best burgers in town alongside a newly revamped patio space make Tamm Ave a top choice for catching a game. Tamm Avenue was once a dive bar, but it's now...less of a dive bar. The interior has been revamped and cleaned up, and the patio got a makeover. The outdoor space has a bar with multiple TVs, a game room, cornhole, and ample seating at picnic tables. On weekends, there’s always a good crowd, and during Blues playoffs games it has become a great spot for cheering on the race for the cup. Also: those burgers are worth the trip in itself.
