Standings:
Standings exists for one reason: college sports. But unlike other sports bars, it isn’t filled with fratty bros in jerseys throwing back pitchers of Bud Light. Instead, you’ll find a low-key neighborhood crowd, an impressive menu of American microbrews and weekly brewery events. The bar itself feels like a dorm room for the sport-obsessed—college banners left from visiting fans hang from the ceiling and a mounted chalkboard keeps track of team standings (hence the name). On nights when sports are slim, so is the crowd, and the only sounds you’ll hear are the ones coming from the TV (go elsewhere for music). But on game nights, the place is packed with fans rooting for their home teams on the eight flat-screen HDTVs. The best part? With free pizza on Fridays, wings on Mondays, and bagels to soak up your booze on NFL Sunday afternoons (plus a killer happy hour daily), you can enjoy your post-collegiate days still on your college budget.
