How to Pick a Sports Bar Happy Hour

1. Pick your poison, or to some it's ambrosia. Beer is usually the choice of sports fans across the nation, so find the happy hour that has great deals by the glass, pint or pitcher. Consider your drinks-per-hour budget, but prices are usually so cheap that you and your friends can keep the brewski flowing through the entire game.
2. Select your sport. If televised action is your thing, get your friends together for a couple hours of cheering and beering over football, baseball, hockey, soccer or racing. Latin American restaurants are great places to enjoy soccer during the "Copa Mundial," or World Cup.
3. Get off your duff and play some indoor sports. Choose a happy hour bar that features beer pong, Silver Streak bowling, electronic shuffleboard or hoops. For more fun and games, get into a happy hour pool or darts tournament.
4. Get your carbs with great sports bar food. Pick a happy hour with reduced prices on a big menu or settle for your favorite bar's utilitarian tacos every Tuesday night. Your best guide is to rely on a food menu that complements what you plan to drink.
5. Get home safely. The ultimate factor in choosing your happy hour haven is how you'll get home after the fun. Pick a place within walking distance or with accessible public transportation, or take advantage of a "beer bus" if your bar offers it.

Tips & Warnings

• Word of mouth is often the best resource. Ask people you know for happy hour referrals.
• The only way to judge a happy hour atmosphere is to start your engine and go. You may have to test drive several before finding the party vehicle you like best.
• Whether the game goes well or your team tanks, you're likely to be drinking quite a bit. Get a cab or a designated driver for happy hour nights.
