Brats is the obvious choice for campus' best sports bar—kind of like calling the Stadium the best bar with a beach volleyball court or the Kollege Klub the best place to meet an athlete/jersey chaser. But sometimes the favorites win, sometimes the underdogs are found wanting and sometimes the bar with a classifiable fuckton of TVs winds up being the best place to watch a game.
State Street Brats takes a normal sports bar and turns it to 11, with plenty of hokey signs covering every inch of space on the wall that isn't taken up by the countless TVs. Plus the bar features some good specials and decent enough food, as well as the State Street Brats Beer Exchange, a concept that will never lose its novelty for this intrepid reporter.
