Why doesn't Memphis have any good sports bars?
I'll give a nod to Max's downtown, but it is pretty small.
Other than that, though, there isn't much.
Brookhaven is a bar that shows sports, not a sports bar.
Anywhere else?

Nah, to be a sports bar, you have to generally have the league pass to the sport, pipe the audio over the p.a., etc.
Now, those are bars that show sports. Similar, but different.

We need b to step up and do a house party similar to Roy Adams. Get a chef. Lots of tv's and great conversation. That would be rock, in my opinion.
