Sports and food are almost always synonymous, good food and good sports. These are the five best places (in no particular order) to watch your favorite sports team and get a bite to eat in Fort Collins, Colorado.

  1. Buffalo Wild Wings

Despite the bad reputation that Buffalo Wild Wings gets it’s a great place to watch sports. Guests are surrounded by other sports fans, plasma TV’s and surround sound. The wide selection of wing flavors, traditional and boneless, as well as variety of burgers and other appetizers are a main selling point for sports fans. Find their website here.

2. Jims’ Wings

Nestled right around the West Campus area is a little haven for chicken wing lovers. Jims Wings is similar to Buffalo Wild Wings but on a smaller scale. The wings are good and the fires are amazing. Jims’ Wings has more of a Cracker Barrel vibe to it than a modern feel but the food and the service make it worth it. Find their website here.

3. Krazy Karl’s

One of the most “Fort Collins” style pizza you can get. Krazy Karl’s is a hit with the citizens of Fort Collins due to its wide variety of pizza combinations. Their most intriguing item is their cream cheese pizza, while it may sound weird many customers enjoy it. Krazy Karl’s has TV’s usually tuned to the most popular sporting events and gives off a modern sports bar vibe. Find their website here.

4. C.B. & Potts

Located on the eastern side of Fort Collins, its location is ideal for people who want to get away from the concentration of college students around old town and near campus west. C.B. & Potts has a large variety of food but their most popular menu items are their sandwiches and burgers. The feeling in C.B. & Potts is more of a restaurant vibe than a sports bar but regardless it’s a great place to get your sports fix in. Find their website here.

5. Island Grill

Sports and a wide variety of food are what make the Island Grill a popular sports viewer destination. The Island Grill also has a relaxed old style vibe to it, it even has a few vintage arcade games. The tropical theme of the Island Grill makes it a popular destination with both college students and families of Fort Collins. Find their website here.
