The Best Philly Sports Bars for Watching the Eagles
Spending your Sunday on the couch with one eye on the screen and the other on your phone (your fantasy league is a full-time job, we get it) is a perfectly respectable way to close out the weekend. But sometimes, you need a little more. Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows the Eagles fight song but no one knows your name. There’s just something special about watching a game with hundreds of strangers, dozens of TVs, and lots of beer. You may share nothing but a fandom, but that’s not nothing, especially in Philly. Here’s where to go when you want a game-day outing that will be worth leaving the couch.
Xfinity Live!
With its prime location smack dab in the middle of the stadiums and its massive size, XFINITY Live! (their exclamation mark, not ours) definitely brings its own kind of hardcore viewing experience. In fact, it’s probably the closest thing to actually being at the game. Fans can watch the Birds on a 32-foot LED screen in the NBC Sports Arena (which also has a full-service menu for bar food and drinks). There’s also Victory Beer Hall for a more casual kind of atmosphere (including long communal tables, a stage, and a patio), along with other bar and restaurant options throughout the complex. Outside, you’ll find a 24-foot-tall screen, too. Reservations are recommended for game day, as this place understandably gets very crowded.
