It depends on where you live. The two most popular teams (other than Cardinals) are the Packers and Raiders. Buffalo Wild Wings has all the games and the kind of break up into sections with different groups watching their preferred games. The NFC North games are usually early so a lot of bars carry those games before the Cardinal (west coast) games.

I found this link: Ice House Tavern | Where To Watch Detroit Lions | Phoenix AZ Sports Bars | Football - Pro | FanLoop.com it might help.

Near my house is a small bar in Cave Creek called Brisam's, they usually have the Bears on one TV and the Lions on another. There are about 3-4 Lions fans in there every week.

I'm a Lions fan and I've yet to find a true Lions dominated sports bar in the Phoenix area.

Depending on where you are, my favorite sports bar in the Valley is Santisi Brothers (at I-17 and Bell Rd.). Buffalo Wild Wings and Zipps also tend to be good places to watch all of the games as well.

Look for a club on facebook.

The Cowboys have a large fan club and have two official locations to watch the games with the club. In the west valley it is Salty Senorita in Peoria.

Don't know where to watch with just Lions fans, but we found a sweet little bar called Upper Crust Pizza on Cave Creek Road just before the 101 entrance. Pizza Restaurant Phoneix AZ, Pizza Restaurant, Gourmet Pizza Restaurant, Family Restaurant, Italian Restaurant, Wine Bar - Upper Crust Pizza, Patio & Wine Bar Great prices on beers, pretty good food, and TV's with different channels playing on every available surface. They also have a restaurant, but we prefer the high top tables in the bar. My BF loves it because he can watch Hockey and several baseball teams at the same time.

Last season I watched Lions games at the downtown Phoenix Majerle's location. There's a small crew that have watched Lions games for around 4 or 5 years and are on good terms with the bartenders. I arrived at opening a few times to ensure the game was on.

Back on '10 I watched at Prankster's in Tempe. If I arrived early enough they always put the Lions on one of their larger televisions.

I am not sure of any official Lions locations.

I think Dan Majerle's brother used to run the restaurant. Dan is from Traverse City and went to Central Michigan.

Uh....49ers. I barely even see Raiders fans out here. 49ers, Packers, Steelers, Cowboys and Bears. Every single one of those teams has at least a couple "team bars" out here, beyond that its kind of a crapshoot.


Find a team forum, usually they'll have a specific forum section for meetups and lists of "official" or "unofficial" team bars across ther country.
