    Fantasy geeks are everywhere. EA (the company that makes the Madden video game) is either in the process of making or has released a fantasy football game. It's tough to find a bar -anywhere- that had all the Sunday Ticket games and enough screens to show each one, and keep fantasy gamers away.

    It's funny how mainstream fantasy sports are now. I used to think that they were for like Dungeons and Dragons fans that happened to like sports.

    Then again, I'm just a degenerate gambler come football season anyway, so I'm sure the fantasy footballers despise me.

    BD -

    In Dallas, I used to go to Fox and Hound on Midway Road until they changed all the managers up. They used to be real cool about making sure you can see whatever you want, and they'd let the room vote on the game audio. Last time I was there (with a bunch of my friends from Denver), they wouldn't change anything...even though the friggin' Texans were on the big screen (w/ audio) and nobody was watching. So we left and went to Cape Buffalo, where we ran up a $700 tab and tipped the girl in the cathlolic schoolgirl outfit $300.

    Now that I live in Arlington, I go to a new place called Sports Dog for college games and to Sherlock's (where the managers will actually give you the remote control!) for pro games.

    So, if anyone reading this owns a bar, when you see a bunch of people in team logoed gear and you say you won't let them watch a game because you have a hard-on for a 5-11 team, you deserve to lose business.

    No Frills (both of them, actually) have officially become dumps now. That Fox and Hound here is OK, but they've been overpriced for years and it doesn't look to be changing anytime soon. J Gilligan's is a good place to go get drunk at and then pollute another bar afterwards, nothing special.

    I went to high school in SA...moved to DFW (N. Dallas first, then here) after finishing school in Denver. I've lived in this part of town for only like two years or so.

    I've never been to Y Not, though I drive by it on a daily basis.

    I went to a place in Addison called Addison Square Garden...I hear its closed now but it rocked.

    For me the best place is Hooters on Wurzbach. Great TV distrbution, good food and , well, scenery! :p

    1a. for me is Duke' Roadhouse on I-10. Food is good, better selection than Hoots or Fatso's and you can also buy real alcohol if you choose and the "scenery" is very Hooters-esque. The only reason it gets 1a. is that I have yet to watch a football game there but they have a huge TV wall and other sets pretty much everywhere.

    Firehouse on Walzem just past Windsor Park Mall is good. Food is good, not a lot of TV's though. The Basketball GTG's there were awesome.

    Hooters on 281 is decent expect for a lack of TV's

    Fatso's has great tv distribution and no matter which team you like, you will find fans of that same team. The food is substandard and the service is even worse. It gets really crowded to the point of uncomfortablilty.

    I frequent that buffet a LOT. When I wanna see ties out here, I go to Fantasy Ranch. Speaking of....

    Me and a few of my buddies used to have this great idea for a ty bar. You know how second run movies have a dollar theater? We thought that all strippers over 30 or so should have to work in a $5 lapdance club, with cheaper drinks. Man, I would go slumming all the time if someone did this...

    Great idea!! Try New Orleans nights in the Town of the Cow, and Platinum Club, not that nice but the girls are VERY friendly, I've lost some protien there a few times.VIP is only 25 bucks. The Ranch used to be awesome......
