In Delhi the game that empties a street is cricket, and the IPL turns the NCR's sports bars into packed, partisan rooms from the first ball to the super over. Football has its own crowd too, with the Premier League and the Champions League pulling late-night fans to the same screens. A real matchday bar here clears four things: enough screens or a projector big enough that no seat misses the action, a kitchen and bar built for a long session, the sound on the match that matters, and a crowd that roars at a wicket or a goal. These ten get the screening right, across Delhi, Noida and Gurugram.
