Not every game requires a trip to Globe Life. Here are the best spots to watch Rangers baseball across the metroplex.
Arlington (near the ballpark):
- Texas Live (1650 E Randol Mill Rd) — The entertainment complex adjacent to Globe Life. Multiple venues with screens, outdoor areas, and a sports bar atmosphere. Pre-game and game-watching hub.
- J. Gilligan's (400 E Abram St) — The most authentic Rangers bar in Arlington. Has been around since before the new stadium. Cash only at the bar. Cold beer, good burgers, Rangers on every screen.
- Hooligan's Pub (204 E Front St) — Irish pub with a loyal Rangers crowd. Walking distance from the ballpark.
Dallas:
- Christie's Sports Bar (Greenville Ave) — Every game, every sport, massive TV wall. Reliable.
- Truck Yard (Lower Greenville) — Outdoor screens, casual vibe. Good for summer baseball watching.
- Happiest Hour (Olive St) — More of a Mavs spot but has Rangers games on during summer.
Fort Worth:
- Reservoir (Foch St) — Best sports bar in Fort Worth. Always has Rangers games.
- Poag Mahone's (Sundance Square) — Good pub atmosphere for a relaxed game.
The mid-cities:
- Pluckers (multiple locations) — Wings and baseball. Good for families.
- Buffalo Wild Wings — Not exciting but every location has every game.

J. Gilligan\'s is THE Rangers bar and has been for decades. Cash only at the bar keeps the tourists away. Real fans know.
