The Big Game is quickly approaching and no matter who makes it through the finals the odds are that you’ll be watching the game on February 3, 2019. There are so many things to love about sports bars, the greasy food, the easy attire, darts, pool, and foosball. One of the best things about sports bars is the prices, give your wallet a much-needed break after the holidays and enjoy a pitcher of beer and a $10 burger. For one night, drop the reservations and join the masses for a rowdy, all American celebration. There are no shortages of sports venues all over the East Side, so come early, pull up a bar stool and get comfortable.

Renton

  • JP’s Williams Ave Pub, located on the website under JP’s Barroom, but on the sign out front it’s listed as Williams Ave Pub.

A large percentage of the menu is under $10, food and drinks are affordable and surprisingly high quality, and not what you might expect from this dive. You’ll find plenty of televisions to watch the game, but don’t expect the massive wrap around TVs like some of the larger, more polished establishments.
  • The Local 907, another local taproom as the name implies is The Local 907, it’s warm and comforting inside with deep red walls and wooden bar stools. The website isn’t up and running, but the food is delicious, they’re known for fresh cut fries, tater tots, and burgers all for under $10.
