Best Sports Bars in the Raleigh, Durham, and Cary | Eater Carolinas

"Soccer takes center stage at this Durham bar and eatery, serving as a home base for U.S. soccer fans as well as Liverpool, Barcelona, and Bayern die-hards. The menu, heavy on sandwiches and salads, is a veritable who’s-who of the soccer world. Sandwiches like the Smokey Sarri, a burger topped with bacon, onion rings, roasted garlic mayo, and a chipotle barbecue sauce, pay homage to coaches and players who’ve been key figures in the soccer world. Opening hours are typically 10 a.m. on the weekends so that patrons can catch European games, but oftentimes a big game means an even earlier go-time." - Elliott Harrell

I actually feel deeply disturbed that I have not posted a review yet for my top 5 Favorite Place. This place is the perfect mixture of local watering hole, delicious/indulgent/slightly-healthy food, football club watching, limitless beer option place. Like ever. I can't emphasize enough how much I like the food here. And the single first picture is all you need to know really for food. This is the coup de grace of the food choices. The "digger" sandwich with a side salad w ranch (not pictured) and a side order of sweet potato fries with the literal world's best honey mustard dipping sauce. I mean The. World's. Best. But I've actually eaten almost almost everything on the menu and I honestly love each and every item. The whole menu is diverse and unique and has healthy options and creative options. Really next level. And the cornucopia of options on the beer side coupled with the endless sea of tables to sit and enjoy, or invite friends and gather together, the cultural Soccer vibe from The Back Room, and everything in between. This place is a small slice of heaven, on like 15 different levels.

Serves a good range of better-than-average bar food. Nice atmosphere and great place to watch soccer. Been twice. NOT a place to go with serious food allergies. Communicated them clearly to counter both times. Reassured of safety twice. Served dairy twice, with blithe assurance each time. Kitchen adds ingredients not listed and service people pretend to know what is in the food. Dangerous combination. Too bad: food is tasty until you need to puke it up in their bathroom.

Very relaxed atmosphere. Order at the counter and they bring your food out. Food was great and out pretty quick. Colocated with the Beer Study so there were many beers to choose from to complement my meal.

Great selection of apps and bites to go along with your beer from Beer study. The tots are absolutely incredible. Saucy, crispy, tangy, and popping with flavor. If you get one thing, get the tots, and wash it down with a few beers. Perfect.

Upon walking in, there appears to be 3 separate places, which is slightly confusing. There’s a place to order right when you walk in, but a sign towards the back left says “Boot Room” and leads to a bar area. It would probably have help if anyone had spoken to us when we got there. Once we finally figured out we were in the right spot, we ordered our food, found a seat, and went to the adjoining “taproom” to get a couple beers. The guy in the taproom greeted us right away, and was very friendly/helpful. The food and beer were very good, they just need to work on the “service” when you walk in, because it’s definitely not inviting. The walls in the place are decorated with tons of football (soccer) memorabilia, which is pretty cool, and the taproom has a lot of drinks available to buy.

Food here is always great. My friends and coworkers often come here after work to have some beers and some food. The burgers here are great. I’ve had them multiple times. The outdoor seating is kind of limited - but plenty of indoor seating.

This Durham treasure has all the personality of of Downtown hangout, without the pricing. A delicious menu (mainly bar fair) that's cooked well every time, a super friendly staff, and a relaxed vibe. The dining room also connects to beer study, so it's a perfect place to spend a few hours with friends, either gaming or just talking. We had the burger and chicken sandwich which were both delicious! We have ordered the same as take out and the same care and expert cooking were delivered to both!

Average- food is bland but expensive for what I ordered- $70 for 2 beers, soft drink, pancakes, sandwich and banana pudding- I did like the banana pudding-, service is bland- on their phones at the counter, bartender difficult to find-, atmosphere is bland- It’s order at counter or sit at the bar which is a weird dark area in the middle of the restaurant. Parking is bad. I felt I needed to give my review because I do not understand the high scores. Maybe if you love the soccer?

First time checking out this place and it was very kewl. You walk in and there are tables and booths in various stations of the restaurant. TVs placed everywhere and lots of soccer memorabilia. You can also purchase merchandise. There is a full bar towards the side with more seating and TVs. I ordered a burger with fries, which was good even though they missed the bacon I had ordered with it. A chicken sandwich and a hot dog, both with fries and some chicken wings. The wings had a smoky flavor to them. Very different to anything I had tried before. My kiddo did not like her hot dog. Unfortunately, I did not try it so can't comment on it. You order at the checkout counter and they give you a number then you seat. They bring the food to you once ready. The place had arcades so it was great for kids and even had seating outdoors if you want to get away from the noise. Very kewl spot. Would love to check it out for a soccer match without the kiddos.

Really delicious food! I've had the Carolina Cobb Salad, as well as the Fiesta Bowl and really enjoyed both of them. I've dined with others who have always enjoyed their food, too. The cheese curd started is also amazing! The staff are friendly and helpful. The ambiance is relaxing and you don't feel rushed, even if you hang out for a long time. This is my favorite kind of place to grab a bite with friends and hang out!

I ordered a vegan burger with Pimento cheese Macaron andi cheese, the French onion dip and the Grilled Nutella. If this restaurant has one flaw, it's the lack of flavor. The burger was good, but I added my own flavoring at home. The chips are great, but the dip has absolutely no flavor at all. We could not figure out how to save that and ended up trashing the dip. The mac was really good, but you cannot taste the paminto cheese. The grilled Nutella was delicious! My mom, got a burger with tater tots. She told me it was good, but didn't have much flavor either. This was a solid 3.5 stars!

Yummy food + fun, casual atmosphere! During my most recent visit we had a group of 7 of us and sat in the front area - if you keep walking towards the back they have lots of different sections. My Carolina Cobb salad was great! You just order at the counter, grab a number, and they bring your food to your table. I also like how you can go right into BeerStudy next door to find a fun drink!

Dope place with delicious food and fun vibes. They offer a variety of different food. Burgers, salads, bowls, wings and more. Staff is amazing and I love how they sell beer, wine, merch and they have a bar! Prices are reasonable and you get a lot of food. Great place for a fun date night.

The Boot Room is located in a shopping plaza with multiple businesses so there is shared parking out front. The restaurant is spacious with multiple areas to dine in inside and outside. Once inside you place your order at the counter and your food is brought to your table. The cashier was not personable. My fish sandwich and fries were brought out in a timely manner. I did not enjoy my meal. The tartar sauce on the bun made it soggy and the fish was really greasy. My fries were ok. Based upon my experience I probably wouldn't come back.

A super solid pub-style eatery connected to Beer Study with great service, great food, and a vibe that makes me want to stay all day and watch soccer. Menu has options for all sorts of dietary restrictions and preferences without making you feel like you have limited options, which is always a plus, and in addition to their cans and bottles, you can always walk through the threshold to order a drink from Beer Study! It was honestly difficult for me to decide what to eat because there were so many great-sounding options. I was inspired to order the Virgil (fish sandwich) at the suggestion of the guy in line in front of me and I have absolutely no regrets--delicious!! Parking lot is a bit of a disaster, so definitely plan to come early if there's a game on.

Food is ok. Not remarkable. The 2 bars offer nice options, but there is no ambiance to speak of. That said, the location is at best chaotic, service is middling, parking is a nightmare and did I mention the mediocre food? Probably a good place to meet friends for a beer, but if you're looking for a good meal better can be found elsewhere in Durham. Not overly likely to go back.

Wowza. I thought Bull City Burger had the only great burger in town and boy was I WRONG! This meat tastes like BEEF, my friends. It's damn delicious. I'm gluten-free and got their gf bun. I was delightfully surprised when I saw the bun was toasted, which really helps the texture/crumble odds. The tots were fantastic too. I'm not celiac so I can only say that as a gluten intolerant person, my night wasn't ruined after this burger trial--yeehaw! Great stuff.

The environment was inviting inside. But I was ordering to-go. My food was fantastic. Ordered the Pastrami sandwich w/krispy tater tots. Wow they were the best krispy tater tots, with a fantastic flavor. No sauce was needed at all. The pastrami sandwich , was so delicious. In-house smoked pastrami. Definitely a home run!!!! I will be back to try more dishes and enjoy that interior ambience.

Came for the food. Fell in love with the Danny Devito decor. My go-to is always the Rapinoe with sweet potato fries. When you enter, you order at the counter and are give a number. You can sit outdoors, in any part of the Boot Room, or in the adjacent Beer Study (my fav). A waiter will bring the food to your table and you can grab silverware near the ordering counter. Service is fast and the food is delicious! The walls are filled with soccer ledge s and memorabilia. In the back is an English-style pub perfect for watching games. There are also several arcade games throughout ti keep kids or adults entertained.

Pub fare done well. I had the Carolina Cobb salad, which was generous on the fixings - if anything, I wished I had more greens to balance out the massive amounts of pimento cheese and bacon. Extremely hearty and filling. My husband got a sandwich, which I didn't try but he enjoyed. I did steal some of his sweet potato fries, which were lightly sweetened and crispy without being greasy. I am not a sports person, but I would happily hang out here eating tasty food with people who wanted to watch sports.

College touring and WE HAVE TO EAT Stumbled upon The Boot Room while in Durham Sits in a strip mall .... Almost missed it It has a rustic, feel almost like an old biker spot We went in about lunchtime, and it wasn't too busy The person taking orders of a little weird, not really inviting The menu was very inviting though ... so it made it easy for us to make a decision on where to order We start off with a Nachos ... I'm gonna give them a 2 (I don't recommend) We ordered a Stevie G ... it's a chicken sandwich, tossed and buffalo sauce,... very good... I would give it a 10 I ordered the KLOPP sandwich ... which is their version of a Reuben (the meat was a little dry) I gave it a 4 I know what I do recommend is the crispy tater tots with the sea salt They're fried to perfection and very tasty The decor and actual ambience were nice My only recommendation is that their staff, the a little bit more inviting and friendly

After craving a burger, we tried this place based off reviews. We were really impressed with the setup of the restaurant and the decor. We also loved that you order at a counter before heading to a table. The burgers were a good, solid, burger with a good cook and good flavor! The star of the show was definitely was the Bang Bang Tots. They were AMAZING! I have never had anything like it. Place was great, service was good, and the food was the best! Can't wait to go back again.

This place has probably the weirdest name of any restaurant I've been to, so I didn't really expect much from it, but I was really blown away with how delicious the food was! They had a blackened salmon sandwich on special and it was perfect in every way! I also ordered a side of mac and cheese and it was baked to perfection! I highly recommend this restaurant, they have some very unique menu items to pick from.

The Boot Room is connected to the Beer Study, which is also fantastic, and I feel that it's one of the more underrated restaurants in Durham. The service is always quick and friendly and the food is fresh and creative. Prices are very fair. I often crave the fried pickles here, but they have really good salads and bowls too for anyone wanting lighter fare. It's one of those places where everyone can find something they like. Be sure to check them out!

Had a great time at this pub-style sports bar in central Durham. Food selection matches the theme and is mostly variations of burgers and fries, but they also have a brunch menu for weekends. I appreciate when places featuring pub food include a solid vegetarian/vegan option, and The Boot Room is certainly one of them - I had the Morgan which had a decent veggie patty, good veggie toppings, and a crisply toasted vegan brioche bun. Since I was there at brunch time I also added in an order of donut holes with cinnamon sugar which were delicious! The restaurant works on counter service, and you can take your food anywhere in the restaurant, to the outdoor patio space, and also to Beer Study which is connected from the inside; you can also order drinks at the Beer Study bar to go with your meal! They have tons of TVs all over the place showing different sports games. We asked if we could watch the US Open and the staff was very friendly and found a way to stream it on the TV next to us. Overall a fun place that's definitely worth a return trip!

OMG the food was AMAZING! The only reason I dinged a star was for the service/staff. We came in and saw that there's ALOT of vegetarian options on the menu. I got the bahn mi sandwich while my husband had the veggie burger. My daughter wanted the grilled cheese sandwich. All of the items were top notch! Even the side of fries were hot and amazing. When we ordered I had a couple of questions where the guy at the counter kind of just shrugged and didn't know the answers. After stumbling around and getting some info, I ordered and the noticed the receipt showed it was put in was wrong. When I went to the counter to make sure that we had the order corrected the other guy seemed annoyed about the correction. Nonetheless, we got what we wanted and it was thoroughly enjoyed! The bahn mi was our favorite: fresh slaw, soft tofu as well as an amazing spread. Top it with siracha for an extra kick.

So I've been looking for places to try in Durham and I've been going to some spots that I might not normally try. This place is a soccer pub with a restaurant attached where you order at the front, get your number and take a seat. I'd seen some good reviews about the food so decided to venture out. I decided on the Stevie G. chicken sandwich with the pimento cheese Mac and Cheese for my side. While the Mac and Cheese was pretty basic with a hint of pimento, the sandwich absolutely blew my mind. It's smoked and fried and comes on a potato bun with lettuce, tomato, pickled red onions and and adobo blue cheese. The chicken breast was perfectly seasoned, fried crispy and not over-breaded and so juicy. This is BY FAR the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. I'll be back to dive into the rest of the menu.

While researching new breweries on Yelp in Durham, I stumbled across this place. Knowing my weakness for hot pretzels and charcuterie plates, when I saw the "Twisted Charcuterie" on their website, I was sold. We grabbed a beer from the connected brewery, Beer Study, and sat in the Boot section. The joint was hopping! This is a very cool place that has something for everybody. Board Games, video games, pin ball, lounge seating, outdoor seating, draft beer, canned beer, wine, food etc., etc. The draft beer from Beer Study was very good. Our Twisted Pretzel, met the expectation, but didn't wow me the way the picture did. It still wouldn't deter me from coming back and ordering something different. When in Durham this is a destination spot!

Simple and hardy breakfast spot. Not too crowded during brunch hours (at least on Sunday). The Mac and cheese was surprisingly good but the grits were under seasoned. Would absolutely recommend this spot for a quick semi-southern breakfast. The vibe seems more suited for adults (rather than children). Hostesses were patient and informative.

I've wanted to visit here for a long time and happened to be in the neighborhood so dropped in for a very late lunch. It's was a little chilly out, but that didn't stop most of the tables outside from being filled. I decided to opt for some warmth inside. There wasn't hardly anyone in there and it was quiet, which was fine with me. I was excited to try some of their eats and cheerily said "hello" to the young woman at the counter. Maybe I was a bit too cheery cos I just got a blank stare. So blank I was taken aback and asked her if they were open. She very quietly said yes. I said I wondered cos you just stared at me and then I laughed. She said nothing, so I asked if I could order to eat in. She nodded. So I ordered my food and a soda. She repeated something. Again, very soft spoken, which doesn't work well with a mask on. I had to ask her again and it something was about the soda. OK. Turned out the ice machine was broken at the soda fountain. Maybe that's what she was trying to convey in her very quiet voice. I asked if there was any ice in the back and she got me a cup of some. After getting my drink I sat at a nearby table and waited for my order. When it arrived, a Polish sausage sandwich, it was huge. Served in a pretzel roll, which I didn't realize would be toasted. Nice that it was warm, but it would be better steamed, just my opinion. There was supposed to be some brown mustard on it, which I didn't taste or see anywhere. It would have been good with the kraut that was on the sausage. Otherwise I really enjoyed it. The pickles on the side were delicious. I ordered grandma's macaroni salad for my side and it was macaroni, but nothing salady about it. I realized it was the pimento mac and cheese, which I didn't order. It was very, very dry. It just didn't seem worth with my time to try to converse again with the young lady at the counter, who barely speaks audibly, so I just ate what I could of it. It wasn't very good tho. Maybe it's just me, but the vibe here is kinda strange. So much so that I don't know if it's worth returning, except Polish sausage sandwiches are a difficult thing to find in the Triangle!

This restaurant is mediocre. There is nothing really unique about it. The food is ok, burgers are just typical, and it could be better seasoned. The fries were good. Ranch was sour and had a weird flavor. You go to a counter to order and then are served. You go get drinks yourself. Cashiers could learn to be friendlier. The ambiance is again mediocre. You may have to spend a while trying to find a parking spot as it is extremely limited. It is located in a shopping center and was super tight.

Ate there this evening. Got the siracha tater tots and they were delicious! I got the Steve's chicken sandwich. It was delicious! Better the chic filet. My husband got the fish sandwich it was fresh. The pimento Mac and cheese was yummy. Food came out fast. The only downside is parking is limited due to all the businesses. But we found a space. We were there at 5:30.

The king pow tater tots have my mouth watering just thinking about them. We have visited twice and the sandwiches and entrees we have had have all been worth returning for. My only gripe is the counter ordering and iPad tipping style of service... I prefer full service. Regardless the food and ambience is worth the return trip. The neighboring beer store opens up into the restaurant and offers a plethora of draft options.

Wow fun place. Stumbled upon this place through Yelp and decided to go for brunch. We had the Stevie G with macaroni salad and the Boot room chicken biscuit with tater tots. The chicken sandwich was excellent. Light and crispy and loved the pickled red onion. The same for the chicken biscuit. The chicken was cooked perfectly and excellent biscuit. Also really great sides. The macaroni salad was spot on and the tater tots were light, crunchy, and perfectly seasoned. If you're going for brunch the sandwich is a much lighter option. We also had the beignets and not a fan. Super thin with no rise and tasted like they were soaked in grease. Service was a little confusing and seemed a little disorganized but they got our food to us without issue. You order at the counter and then go find your table. They have large tvs in the back and had soccer games on with a few fans. I don't normally watch soccer but made it a fun and great atmosphere. They also have a ton of games to play and some really nice pinball machines in the back. This place is a ton of fun and we will definitely be back.

This place is really good and has a neat set up. The boot room serves food and then it is connected internally with the Beer Study... which has their own as well as other NC beers. It is located in a strip mall and the parking is limited but seems to be adequate. We ordered bang bang tots for an appetizer and they were excellent. They had some sort of Thai like sauce that was sweet and not overly spicy or hot. I would get them again. I got the firehouse burger and my wife got the BLT. Both were good. There is indoor and outdoor seating. There was also an area inside that had a glass door and wall.. I am not sure if that was a reserved section or what, but it had a pretty nice looking bar set up in there. This is definitely a place to come back to. The food was good as and was the beer from next door!

This is a really fun sports bar attached to a brewery. The food is incredible and it has vegan options which is rare for a sports bar. The staff is really kind and the staff at the brewery are really knowledgeable and generous in sharing recommendations. The burgers are inventive and delicious. The friend pickles basket is a MUST.

Genuinely excellent food and service! Huge plus- this is the first sports bar I've been to that understands that they're competing for your recliner at home. The viewing bar has chairs that look super comfy and give everyone seated a good view of the game. However, this is separated from the rest of the space, which I greatly appreciate as someone who isn't into sports and typically just wants to be able to hear whoever I'm eating with. The food is truly phenomenal, I will be dreaming of the bang bang tots and gyro burger for awhile. 10/5 stars GOOOOAL!!!

Great atmosphere for football games (not talking about American football)! Love the celebrity themed burgers! It really reeled me into this place because I'm a football lover. LETS GO CHELSEA I got The Smoky Sarri burger: Smoked beef, cheddar, cider bacon, fried onion straws, roasted garlic mayo, chipotle BBQ. Bomb. Hit the nail on the head. As a former Chelsea manager, I'm sure Sarri would have loved this as a post match meal. Their sweet potato fries as a side was nice and crunchy. Bottom line: I really need to come here to give them more of my money. It's a future go-to spot for matches and food. Hot diggity.

As a closeted soccer fan I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Have been to watch the premier league on weekend mornings and gotten coffee/brunch and it has been so precious. I have never been to England but it gave me English pub vibes. Can seat yourself and watch the game and not be rushed or bothered. Whole thing is soccer themed with World Cup balls, jerseys and everything on the menu is named after a player. I have also watched duke-unc basketball here. So fun and good is delicious!

We went here on a whim on a Saturday since we had read about them but never tried them before. The parking lot can fill up fast, but luckily someone pulled out as we pulled in. The food is sandwiches, burgers, salads and apps -- so mostly tavern food. You order at the counter and take your number to your table. We actually ended up running into some friends and sat with them near the front. The space is very large and extends way into the back where I suppose English football fans gather to watch matches. I enjoyed my Fiesta Bowl and my wife enjoyed The Virgil fish sandwich, even though she was not wild about the macaroni salad side dish. This seems like a popular casual gathering place with a loyal following from locals.

Boot Room (for food) and Beer Study (for beer) are connected to make a really nice hangout with indoor and outdoor seating. I was there on a nice day and between the big open doors and windows + a good number of outdoor tables, it seemed pretty COVID-safe. Also, the patio is dog-friendly! I got the Stevie G (Fried Smoked Chicken Sandwich) with a side of tots, and everything was really good. The tots were really crispy and delicious, I just wish I had more! My only complaint was that I thought everything was a bit expensive for what it was, sides are not included and it's not a sit-down place with table service (you order at the counter and they bring everything out to you).

Good food and a cool naming system, speedy service with helpful people, and so much cool soccer themed stuff on the walls.

My new favorite weekday spot. Get dinner served so quickly. Food is so fresh and authentic. The smoked wings are my least favorite, I wish it was cooked more and have less smoke. The craft beer is so good. The burgers are epic, for real! The chicken sandwich is so good and juicy. I was surprised how crispy and juicy the sandwich is.

Pros: * It's a great place to watch soccer - we saw Belgium beat Portugal here in the Euros * Beer selection is excellent - I got a Duvel label on draft that I've never seen in the U.S. Cons: It's a bit understaffed and chaotic. There was one point when there wasn't anyone at all at the bar for many minutes, and the place was slammed and like three people deep trying to get drinks. Then we went to the "other" bar where you had to open up a new tab. I eneded up leaving without signing my tab at the first bar which I've never done in my life, because I just couldn't wait for them to tend to it (I didn't stiff them I just let them fill in the tip).

This was the first restaurant I went to after moving to Durham just a few months ago and I've been back many times since. It's never too crowded when I've gone we have never had a wait time. The food comes out so quickly it feels like magic. The staff is friendly. Everything we have tried so far on the menu has been delicious. We love the Stevie G chicken sandwich and the Shankly fish and chips but the BLTs are definitely not to be slept on. For the sides the sweet potato fries and chips with old bay are our go to. Definitely get fried pickles or cheese curds with pepper jelly for the table. The ambience is also so cool as well. You pick your seat which I LOVE and there are lots of options to fit any size crowd. There is a bar area that's really nice but it has doors closing it off from the rest of the restaurant so no worries very much so still has a family friendly vibe. There are lots of pinball machines and other games. The walls are covered in pictures and jerseys so if you're a soccer fan it's a must. Connected is a store/brewery with all sorts of beer and wine selections so I recommend stopping by on your way out. Will always be our favorite date spot!

This is a short review because it doesn't need to be long. LITERALLY the best fish sandwich I have ever eaten. Mac salad was incredible too. Everything was hot, fresh, and quick. Service was very friendly, and the environment was great. 10/10 will absolutely be back.

My family and I were looking for a place to eat after church on Sunday and came across this place on yelp, which gave it 4 1/2 stars. I love the whole brewery type seating where you just pick a table, order your food, and they just bring it to you. Honestly, I've seen places in CA where you can literally order the food from your table with a QR code and they just bring it out. In my opinion, I think that will be the future of ordering food with very minimal contact from the staff. Especially with covid lingering around. Anyway, since we are family of 5, I thought seating would be hard, but there were plenty of big tables which I loved. I ordered the fried, smoked chicken and pimento cheese biscuit because that is a combo I've never tried, and it sounded really good. And it was! The chicken was crispy but juicy. The smoke flavor still came through even though it was fried and the pimento cheese was delicious. Although, I love pimento so I was hoping more for a little more of the pimento flavor. The biscuit was a little too crumbly but I ate it so fast, it didn't matter anyway lol. My wife ordered the pastrami eggs benny and I managed to sneak a few bites from her. This plate was excellent! The pastrami reminded me a little bit of smoked salmon but with a more "meaty" texture. The eggs were perfectly poached, and when slit, oozed nicely onto the other ingredients. The pastrami was just salty enough to cut through the creaminess of the egg and combined with the biscuit, it was just a very delicious bite. The kids ordered the waffle with fruit, and although a pretty simple dish, it was delicious and the fruits were fresh and colorful. For dessert we got the churros with chocolate. These things are not full sized but I kind of like the bite sized versions they served. "Cinnamony", sweet and the chocolate was more of a darker chocolate which I liked because it wasn't too sweet when dipped. Overall we had a great experience here and I'd like to come again and try their regular menu because there are some items I definitely want to try!
