1. Most Wholesome

Want to take your kid with you to watch the game? First and Main gets our vote for most family-friendly sports bar. (There's even a kid's menu.) Roomy and very clean, F&M is about as wholesome as they come. Regular clientele rave about F&M's Mac and Cheese, one even calling it "bliss in a crock."

 

2. Most Enthusiastic (read "loud") Audience

A loyal clientele lovingly refer to this as "The O." The name says it all. Burgers and pizzas are the order of the day.

 

3. Most Classic Sports Bar

This venerable sports bar has eight (count 'em eight) new 63-inch plasma TVs. Its pizzas, sliders and Buffalo wings are a cut above the average sports bar lineup. Good luck with parking.

 

4. Best Wine List

The bar inside the Los Altos Grill has two TVs and dozens of really stellar vintages of wine ready to be poured.

 

5Most Down Home Audience

Burgers and pizzas are the order of the day. Throughout the year, sports teams celebrate after their games. Hang out, get comfortable. You can't break anything here.

 

6. At Home. Home is to be a favorite place to catch the big game. Enjoy your flat screen, that big comfy couch and the company of loved ones. Fire up the BBQ, even. It's California and we can do that in February—unlike Baltimore.
