Best Sports Bars in My Business Directory

The Goat sits on South Main in the West End, a short walk up from Fluor Field, which makes it a natural landing spot before or after a Greenville Drive game. It is local and family owned, with screens spread around the room so the game stays in view from just about any seat. The kitchen handles the bar-and-grill basics with some personality. The Goat Wings come in a range of flavors, the burgers run to a Southwest smashburger, and there are wraps, salads, and a South of the Border section that turns out shrimp tacos. The shareables draw the most attention at the table: Goat Tots, Cheesy Peaks, loaded fries, and fried pickles. Behind the bar it is draft beer, bourbon, and specialty cocktails, with a happy hour in the early evening. What sets it a step apart from the usual wings-and-a-game spot is the range on both ends, from a hearty signature Grand Slam Bowl to beignets for dessert, which is not what you expect next to a plate of tots. Talk to the regulars and the service comes up as often as the food, friendly and attentive even when the room is full. It gets full on a Drive game night, when the West End fills up and this becomes one of the spots that catches the crowd, so it pays to arrive before first pitch.
