You know all those sports bars where Las Vegans gather together to cheer, scream, and share a common love of the Raiders? I don’t either. But our city is full of fun bars who’ve pledged a fierce loyalty to NFL teams from other parts of the country.
American Football Conference (AFC)
🏈 Baltimore Ravens: Crab Corner in Spring Valley has a fierce loyalty to the Ravens, paired with Maryland-style seafood, from blue crabs to fresh-shucked oysters.
🏈 Buffalo Bills: Moondoggies near Arville and Desert Inn has been a longtime draw for Bills fans hungry for beer, wings, and pizza. Those in Henderson can cheer on the team at Johnny Mac’s on Boulder Highway and Water Street.
🏈 Cleveland Browns: No doubt about it. The Tap House on Charleston in the West Valley is the #1 spot for Browns fans, featuring old-school vibes (including stained-glass windows) and Italian favorites heavy on the red sauce.
🏈 Denver Broncos: Near Sahara and Eastern, Jake’s Bar loves the Broncos even more than it loves karaoke with a full menu served round the clock and a loyalty that dates back to 1996.
🏈 Kansas City Chiefs: Jackpot on Jones and Harmon is the top spot to watch the Chiefs. The menu is a nice surprise, from sloppy joes and a hearty house-made chili to Asian/Islander touches in the lumpia, noodles, and loco moco.
🏈 Las Vegas Raiders: Ok, ok. Every bar in Vegas should be a Raiders bar, but the team still feels a little “Oakland” to us. Play it safe at the official Raiders Tavern & Grill inside the M Resort, which has a prime rib special during Monday Night Football.
🏈 Los Angeles Chargers: PKWY Tavern is a local chain with seven locations and no outward NFL loyalty, although the one on Decatur and Flamingo is known to get overrun by Chargers fans. It also has a menu elevated by Naked City Pizza. Order the Guinea Pie 👍
🏈 Miami Dolphins: Just off the Strip on Dean Martin, Tommy Rocker's has been a place where Parrotheads can sing along to “Margaritaville” and Dolphins fans can yell at TV screens. Stick around for live music every weekend.
🏈 Tennessee Titans: Mad Matty's, a staple on Sahara and Cimarron since 1989, is known for all-day breakfast, late-night happy hour, nonstop gaming, and love for the Tennessee Titans.
National Football Conference (NFC)
🏈 Chicago Bears: You go to Joe’s Bar for one of two reasons: bar league poker nights or to watch Bears games. It’s on Rancho by the North Las Vegas Airport.
🏈 Dallas Cowboys: Mr. D’s has a wild reputation for late-night karaoke and biker nights, but the passion is strong for the Cowboys too, especially on Sundays when fans can order the $16 steak special.
🏈 Detroit Lions: The Flowing Tide Pub on Decatur and Trop is a known gathering spot for Lions fans. (You get a free glass of champagne with a breakfast entree — any time of day.) If you prefer more of a dive, go with Crowbar on Flamingo and Rainbow.
🏈 Green Bay Packers: Cheeseheads can choose between three Rum Runner locations on Tropicana, Desert Inn, and Boulder Highway or Big Dog’s Brewing Co., which has some of the best local beer in town and $75 Packer Backer memberships full of perks.
🏈 Minnesota Vikings: The owners of the Blue Ox Tavern take their Minnesota heritage seriously, especially when munching on cheese curds and breaded pickle fries during Vikings games.
🏈 New Orleans Saints: Lola’s in Summerlin is more of a restaurant than a bar, but it’s the top spot to watch the Saints while wolfing down jambalaya and beignets.
🏈 Philadelphia Eagles: The Eagles have some of the most devoted fans in football, especially at the Torrey Pines Pub, where viewing parties “bleed green” while ordering burgers and cheesesteaks.
🏈 San Francisco 49ers: 90-ounce beer towers are perfect for viewing parties to watch the 49ers at Joey’s Tavern in the Lone Mountain area of Las Vegas.
🏈 Seattle Seahawks : The passion for the Seahawks is strong in Spring Valley at Scooter’s, which serves brick-oven pizzas, loaded nachos, and other game-day bites.
🏈 Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Another version of the Flowing Tide Pub — the one near the South Point, where you can place a last-minute bet — is a favorite for Bucs fans.
🏈 Washington Commanders: Steiner’s Pub on Buffalo is a hangout for Commanders loyalists, who don’t shy from wearing old-school Redskins gear.
Some of these gatherings are more official than others — and we claim no responsibility for the fickleness of football fans moving on from one bar to another.
Our research found local support to be relatively soft for the Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Rams, New York Giants, New York Jets, and Pittsburgh Steelers (R.I.P Noreen's).
