"Jackie’s prefers to call itself a “bar with sports” rather than a sports bar, but it’s still not letting its customers miss a moment of a game, not when it can line its sprawling, heated upper patio areas with TVs and greenery. On Friday nights, the vibe gets far clubbier, with lines down the block and DJs spinning on the patio. The patios aren’t as elevated as others in town, but still provide a nice view of the surrounding neighborhood for diners to enjoy while they knock back tequila drinks and house birria nachos." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"Inner Southeast’s Century Bar was a one-of-a-kind place to watch a game, with polished wood raised rows of seats that felt somewhere between a stadium and a small Midwestern liberal arts classroom. Century sadly closed for good in 2021, but the space was only dormant for a few months as the team behind Jackie’s prepared to open a “sports bar for people who don’t love the vibe of traditional sports bars,” so to speak. The food menu includes dishes like quesabirria tacos and plant-based tenders, while the cocktail menu could hold its own against celebrated non-sports bars nearby. Something to note: Sometimes Jackie’s can accrue a line, particularly late on weekend evenings." - Rebecca Roland

"Ostensibly a sports bar, Jackie’s features a basement with wooden stadium seating and large projector screens, yet there’s also a rooftop patio and plenty of outdoor seating. Of course, there’s beer, as well as a tight cocktail list, including a sweet and tart Agua Fresca Margarita made bright pink with watermelon liqueur and given an acidic zing from lime and hibiscus syrup. During happy hour, you can keep things chill and order a Modelito (that’s a 7-ounce bottle of Modelo) paired with a shot of Terramana Blanco for just $7." - Vox Creative
