Sports Bar Nation's 2011-12 Austin Sports Bar Guide:

Welcome to Sports Bar Nation's 2011 Austin Sports Bar Guide.

It was truly a pleasure visiting these places and Austin is a fantastic sports town. To make things easy, I have created a MAP that lists all of the places on this list and allows you to find the one closest to you or see them all at once.

The Top 10 are the Top 10 for a reason, I would feel confident sending any one of you there with my recommendation and the SB Nation Article Links will clue you in on beers on tap, menu, atmosphere, teams supported, etc.

Knowing that not everyone feels like going to a traditional sports bar, we have broken the bars into three categories: Sports Bars, Bars that show Sports and just plain old Bars.
