Winner again here for the umpteenth time in a row, and it is no surprise. On any fall Saturday for college and any Sunday for pro football, with all 24 HD screens blazing, the atmosphere here is just as loud and raucous as being at the game. You can also get an individual speaker for your table specifically tuned to the game you are watching, or set up next to your own private beertender. Fold in some Parmesan truffle fries, a burger, salad, sandwich, craft pizza and over 20 taps (not to mention free popcorn and peanuts), and it’s not all that hard to see why Knuckles owns first place.
