The Triangle area has some of the nation’s best collegiate sports action and if you’re a sports fan you don’t want to miss a game.  From the famous tobacco road rivalry to the numerous national championships won by UNC and Duke basketball teams, there’s always a game on around here.  Even though you probably can’t make it to every game, there’s no reason you can’t grab a seat and a beer at one of the Triangles Best Sport’s bars.

  1. Four Corners: Located in the heart of Franklin Street and recently renovated, this sports bar is one of the town’s favorite places to watch the Tar Heels in action.  You can stop in for a tasty dinner before the game and stay to watch the game and order a few beers.  And there’s no rush to leave because live music or a DJ will still be guaranteeing a good time long after the players have left the field.
  2. Blinco’s Restaurant: An extensive and impressive beer list can be found on the menu and on tap so you can enjoy the game with one of the best brews in town.  Daily drink specials and a list of games that will be playing at Blincos can be found on their website.
  3. Hams: It may be part of a chain, but this sports bar on West Franklin Street has the feel of an independent hometown bar.  Students of UNC flock to Hams to watch a game and enjoy one of their famous beer towers.
  4. Carolina Ale House: Though it is one of many in the area, the location on Creekside Drive is making our list. Two large screens and around 50 TVs cover any sports event you could imagine. An array of pool tables, foosball tables and videogames keep everyone entertained.  Check out the website for drink specials and additional locations.
  5. Blue Sports Bar & Grille: Patrons can catch the latest action on one of Blue’s 15 TVs.  Do more than just watch, grab a buddy and a cue stick and shoot a game of pool or a round of shuffle board.  Located in the Hilton in Durham, this bar is a great stop for out of town guests staying at the hotel or nearby.
