Sure, the main reason to go to a sports bar is to watch the sports, but we’re likely to be there for a while, which is why picking a place like the casual and fun Society makes so much sense. Not only is there ample opportunity to sit in front of or near a TV — two floors’ worth, including two projectors and twelve TVs upstairs — but this raucous spot pays particular attention to the menu, offering more than the usual pub grub plus eighteen local beers on tap. Try the Dank Nuggets, which are corn fritters fried sweet and crispy ($4 during weekday 4 to 7 p.m. happy hour), the chicken and waffles or the whiskey-smoked wings. And — score! — Monday Night Football brings $15 bottomless PBR.
