Dallas is a sports fan’s Mecca. Home to Jerry Jones’s Cowboys, the Mavericks, the Stars, and FC Dallas, whichever sport you’re passionate about, Dallas has a national championship team for it. Though a visit to Cowboys stadium on a Sunday may be the dream of many, there are often better ways to enjoy the game than from the nose-bleed seats. Aside from professional sports teams and fanatic sports fans, Dallas is also home to some of the best sports bars in the country. So maybe instead of spending $60 for the worst seat in the house at Cowboys Stadium, try plunking yourself down in any of these bars, enjoy a cold beer, rowdy Dallas fans, and some up close, high definition action.Top Ten Sports Grill — Eating great food may be just about as important as watching the game. Without the right game time snacks and half time delights no game is quite complete. Luckily, Top Ten in downtown Dallas offers some great food at a cheap price, and tons of high definition TVs to watch at any angle. Top Ten is also open late to revel after a big win, or to lick wounds after a disappointing loss.
City Tavern — Good sports and good beer just go together, like Bert and Ernie, or Simon and Garfunkel. A sports bar is not complete without a great selection of beers on tap and from the bottle. City Tavern offers 40 bottled choices and 16 drafts, which are sure to please every sports fan. So before the game, grab yourself a pint of your favorite draft, a basket of chicken wings, station yourself near one of City Tavern’s 10 plasma TVs and cheer on Dallas to victory.
Frankie’s Sports Bar and Grill — The biggest dilemma in a sports capitol like Dallas is competing for the remote when two games are on at the same time. Luckily Frankie’s has 20 different receivers and 30 huge TV’s so that every fan can find the game they want to watch. Frankie’s also offers video games to test your own athleticism and a great assortment of food for game time.
Knox Street Pub & Grill — Sports bars are a good place to meet locals. Knox has a great patio that’s often crowded as the night wears on, and a bar that’s filled with grown men acting like little boys cheering on their team. It's not fancy, but it’s a cozy place to hang out and live like a Texan. If you're a visitor, join in with the locals and cheer on the home team. If you're a local, then wear your colors proud.

TRINITY HALL - located at Mockingbird & 75, (Mockingbird Station stop on DART rail) is one of the very best spots to watch soccer - like this weekend's FIFA Confederations CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL between BRAZIL and the USA. 2 big screens, several small ones.
Good food - great beer and whiskey!
P.S. - it is "FC Dallas"
