Best Football Bars In DFW

By Shawn S. Lealos

There is nothing better than heading to a football game, whether it is a college contest or an NFL game. However, almost every Dallas Cowboys football game is sold out and the biggest colleges in Texas are miles away from the DFW area. That doesn't mean that football fans are out of luck, however, as there are plenty of sports bars to enjoy games around the Dallas and Fort Worth area. With the 2017 NFL and college football season about to begin, here is a look at the best football bars in the DFW area.

Henderson Tap House

Henderson's Tap House was named the Best Sports Bar in the Dallas area in 2015 and they still remain a can't miss destination for anyone looking to enjoy good food and drinks and the best football action. The bar has over 35 televisions, all in HD, and all tuned into the best football games all season long. They have the NFL Sunday Ticket, so every single game is available to watch on Sundays, and they have the Longhorn Network, for UT football fans. They are also the home of the OU Club of Dallas Sooners for misplaced Oklahoma fans and also remain home for the Dallas Cowboys, Duke Blue Devils, Arizona State Sun Devils, and Arkansas Razorbacks fans as well.
