"If you’re looking for somewhere to pre-game before the Hawks play or post-up after an early concert, Stats, a popular sports bar situated just a few blocks from State Farm Arena, is a smart move. The multi-level spot has more than 70 televisions—along with an award-winning brewmaster crafting a wide range of IPAs, sours, lagers, and seasonals from a 10-barrel brewery. Besides getting virtually every big game, the elevated bar menu and tables with built-in taps make this 16,000-square-foot space an easy downtown draw." - demarco williams, juli horsford, nina reeder
