A city that loves its sports teams like St. Louis does demands more than just a TV in the corner of the bar showing the game. A night watching the Cardinals, Blues, Battlehawks, City SC or your favorite out-of-town team calls for big screens – and ideally, plenty of them – a well-stocked bar and some hearty food.

This soccer mecca bring in a consistent Saturday and Sunday morning crowd for EPL games and action from other European leagues, as well as for St. Louis City SC games. They’re not limited to soccer, either – if there’s something you want to watch, ask. The local beer scene is well represented at the bar, and you can grab food from the neighboring Sando Shack or Smash ‘Em’s Burger Bar at SC Lounge.

For watching sports with a beer in West County, Lester’s is among your best bets. Wherever you’re stationed in the bar, you’re certain to be able to train your eyes on at least one screen (but probably more) showing whatever sports are in season. The pastrami sandwich on rye is the signature, but the kitchen turns out a variety of deli sandwiches in addition to barbecue, burgers, and bar snacks.

With CityPark just across Market Street, Union Station’s sports bar fills up quickly with soccer fans on St. Louis City SC game days, but stop by any other day and grab a couch or armchair in one of the lounge areas to watch your sport of choice on your own personal screen. The menu’s highlights include the fish and chips, a huge shareable chicken pot pie, and the frozen Irish coffee.
