New Orleanians bleed black and gold, which makes the sports bar scene quite lively during football season. But sports fans cross all genres, following local college teams, the Pels, and, of course, European football.
The best in-person viewing experiences offer enthusiastic fans multiple large screens and great food — think oysters, food trucks, po’boys, and lots of game-day snacks, as well as specialties sometimes dished out as a lagniappe. Luckily, these sports bars, dive bars, breweries, and restaurants score high across the board.
