Where to Watch the NCAA Basketball Tournament

Where to Watch the NCAA Basketball Tournament

The first week -- and, in particular, the first four days -- of the NCAA Tournament are one of the more amazing times of the year to be a sports fan. Sure, the second weekend (which consists of the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight) might feature more elite matchups, but the first weekend holds an element of (a) surprise and (b) sheer wall-to-wall basketball that nothing else can really touch. It inherently creates within us a need to be social.

We have a smorgasboard of bars for your choosing - whether you want to watch with your team's fans or just want a tried and tested basketball spot with the tournament on 24/7. Over the next couple days, we'll be bringing you key storylines and players to watch, drinking games, Youtube clips to impress your friends and our picks for the big dance. We'll save a seat at the bar for you.

Cheers!
