Not everyone can afford $200 tickets to AT&T Stadium. Here are the best places to watch Cowboys games across the metroplex, organized by area.
Dallas proper:
- Frankie's Downtown (1303 Main St) — THE Cowboys bar in Dallas. Gets standing room only by kickoff. Multiple projector screens, loud crowd, everyone in jerseys. Arrive 90 minutes early for a seat.
- Christie's Sports Bar (Greenville Ave) — Wall-to-wall TVs, good wings at $0.75 each on game day. More chill than Frankie's.
- Nodding Donkey (SMU area, 2900 McKinney Ave) — Great food, strong drink menu, good crowd without being overwhelming.
Arlington:
- Texas Live (1650 E Randol Mill Rd) — The entertainment complex adjacent to AT&T Stadium. Multiple venues, outdoor screens, official watch parties. Best for pre-game and away game watching.
- Wild Pitch Sports Bar (510 E Abram St) — Walking distance from the stadium. Local dive bar energy. Cheap beer.
Frisco/North Dallas:
- The Star District (1 Cowboys Way, Frisco) — Cowboys HQ. Official watch parties at Ford Center. They show the game on the massive video board. Free entry, family friendly.
- Hero (multiple locations) — Upscale chain sports bar. Good for groups who want decent food with the game on.
Fort Worth:
- Reservoir (1001 Foch St) — Fort Worth's best sports bar. Great patio, strong TV setup.
- Poag Mahone's (Sundance Square) — Irish pub with every game. Less crowded than Dallas spots.
