Nashville watches the game on two fronts. Downtown along Broadway, the honky-tonks and brewhouses stack screens by the dozen and fill for the Titans, the SEC and NFL Sunday Ticket. Out in the neighborhoods, from West End to Green Hills and Hillsboro Village, the rooms are bigger, calmer and built for a full day of football with patios and porch TVs. For a marquee game downtown, book ahead. These ten cover both the Broadway noise and the neighborhood comfort.
Downtown and Broadway
Along Broadway the screens come by the dozen and the rooms fill for the Titans and the NFL Sunday slate, so book ahead for the big games.
01
Broadway Brewhouse Downtown
317 Broadway$$45+ screens / NFL Sunday Ticket
The downtown Broadway Brewhouse covers nearly every inch of wall with screens, carries NFL Sunday Ticket and pours a beer list deep enough to keep anyone happy. Casual pub seating means no seat sits far from a screen, and the menu leans on wings, nachos and burgers built for a long Sunday.
Game day tip: Book a table three to five days ahead for a marquee NFL Sunday, since it fills early.
02
Barstool Nashville
Off Broadway$$Video walls / Two levels
Planted just off Broadway, Barstool runs two levels, multiple bars, an outdoor patio and massive video walls with flat screens wall to wall. It is a sports fan's room first, loud and full on game day, with live music between the action. The scale makes it a strong pick for a big group that wants the noise.
Game day tip: Head upstairs for a clearer line to the main video wall when the ground floor packs out.
03
Tin Roof
316 Broadway$$400 capacity / Reservations
With room for about 400, Tin Roof handles large groups better than most of the strip and opens game-day reservations two weeks ahead of the big fixtures. Live music and a Broadway address keep the energy high, and screens cover the bar through the NFL and college slate.
Game day tip: Reserve two weeks out for a playoff or rivalry game, since walk-in space goes fast.
04
Jed's Sports Bar
West End$$Biggest / Porch TVs
Billed as Nashville's biggest sports bar, Jed's sits on West End within a walk of Centennial Park and shows every major event across its screens. When the weather warms it adds televisions to the porch, so a sunny Saturday of college football can be watched outside. Everything from the chips up is made in house.
Game day tip: Take the porch for a warm-weather SEC Saturday, since the outdoor screens come on in season.

Midtown and the Neighborhoods
Away from the strip, the Midtown and neighborhood rooms trade volume for patios, porch televisions and space to settle in.
05
Crows Nest
Green Hills$$38 TVs / 3 patios
A Green Hills mainstay with 38 televisions, two floors, two bars and three patios, Crows Nest has the screen count and the seating for a full Sunday. The split levels mean you can find the room and the game you want, and the kitchen runs beyond standard bar fare.
Game day tip: Use the upstairs bar for a second game when the main floor is locked to the headline fixture.
06
Double Dogs
Hillsboro Village$$35 TVs / College crowd
In Hillsboro Village near Vanderbilt, Double Dogs lines the room with 35 screens and draws a college crowd for the SEC and the pros. Homemade wing sauces, loaded nachos and the Bo Burger anchor a menu built for sharing across a long afternoon of football.
Game day tip: Come early for a Vanderbilt or Tennessee kickoff, since the student crowd claims the screens fast.
07
M.L. Rose
Melrose / Charlotte$$Patio TVs / Craft beer
M.L. Rose runs two locations with spacious patios, and even the patios carry televisions so a Titans Sunday outdoors does not cost you the game. A wide craft beer list and the Nashvegas burger make it a relaxed neighborhood alternative to the Broadway crush.
Game day tip: Pick the patio on a mild Sunday, since the outdoor screens let you watch in the open air.

These rooms round out the city with a gameday crowd, a big screen and a quieter neighborhood option.
08
Dawg House Saloon
Demonbreun$$Gameday crowd / Buckets
On Demonbreun near the action, Dawg House Saloon draws a reliable game-day crowd for wings, hot dogs and sliders, with domestic bottle buckets on the weekend. It runs a long happy hour and a second late one on Thursdays, which makes it a steady spot for a midweek college night.
Game day tip: Order a weekend bottle bucket for a group settling in for the early and late NFL windows.
09
South
Demonbreun$$Extra-big screen
Also on Demonbreun, South builds its game-watching around an extra-large screen that turns the headline fixture into the centerpiece of the room. Wings, the South burger and the Nashville chicken wrap keep the kitchen busy, and Sunday brings bottomless brunch drinks alongside the early games.
Game day tip: Sit facing the big screen for the main game and save the side TVs for the red-zone action.
10
Sam's Sports Grill
Belle Meade$$Scratch menu / Neighborhood
The Belle Meade branch of Sam's is a from-scratch neighborhood sports grill where pizza and wings carry a diverse menu and the screens cover the weekend slate. It trades Broadway volume for a calmer room, which suits a family or a group that wants the game without the downtown noise.
Game day tip: Choose Sam's for a quieter watch when Broadway is at capacity for a big game.

Our Verdict on Game Day in Nashville
Match the room to the moment. For a downtown NFL Sunday with every game on, Broadway Brewhouse leads, with Barstool and Tin Roof close behind for a big crowd, and book ahead for a marquee fixture. For a calmer day of college football, head to Double Dogs, Crows Nest or Jed's porch. Confirm the kickoff, grab a Bushwacker, and settle in.
How We Picked
Every bar on this list was checked against its own current listing plus at least one independent guide before publishing, and ranked on the game day specifics that matter: screen count and sight lines, the channels and feeds available, the leagues shown, the crowd, and how the room handles a marquee night. We exclude venues we could not verify as open and showing live sport. For the method behind every game day guide, see our pillar guide to watching the game.
