MVP Sports Bar in midtown Sacramento boasts 21 HD flat screens, 10 of which are big screens. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and offers great happy hour specials on weekdays from 3 p.m. - 7 p.m., with half-price mozzarella sticks and $2 beers while you watch the Giants. MVP has two levels, both of which feature tons of TVs. No matter where you sit, you will definitely have a good view of whatever game you want to watch. Some may consider it a bit of a dive, others would just say it has "character." In either case, MVP is perfect for anyone who is low maintenance, wants to watch a game and drink a beer in a chill environment.

With reasonably priced drinks, good food and ample TV screens, this hidden gem of East Sacramento offers all of the perks and none of the drawbacks that come with a sports bar.  The atmosphere is inviting, the staff is friendly and the bathrooms are clean. You won't be elbow-to-elbow all night with any obnoxious fans, but it still has great energy while being a place where you can bring the family for some bonding over baseball. There is also parking lot behind the building, which is an added bonus.

Alley Katz
2019 O St.
Sacramento, CA 95811
(916) 442-2682
www.alleykatz.net

Hours: Mon to Fri - 3 p.m. to 12 a.m., Sat to Sun - 12 p.m. to 12 a.m.

Alley Katz is not a sports bar, but rather a bar where people happen to watch sports. The real draw of this place is the bar itself, which has 27 beers on tap and serves more than 200 beers and ciders. For the restless types, there are two pool tables, a foosball table, a jukebox and several TV's where you can watch your team of choice. Conveniently located downtown, this is a great place for anyone to stop in whether they are leaving work and want to have a brew and watch the game, or going out for the night. Alley Katz is definitely not a dive, and some of their beers can get a little pricy, but the place is generally packed so people must agree they're worth the cost.

Bisla's Sports Bar
7042 Folsom Blvd.
Sacramento, CA 95826
(916) 383-0133
www.bislas.net

Hours: Daily - 3 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Bisla's Sports Bar is located near the Sacramento State Campus which means they cater to a college crowd, but this is not necessarily a bad thing because everything is cheap. Monday nights offer $1 tacos and Wednesday is all about buy one, get one for a penny burgers. Pair that with cheap draft or well drink specials and you are guaranteed to have a good time watching the game without breaking your bank. Bisla's has 12 flat screens for you to enjoy the game, as well as outdoor TVs and seating. In addition to a great sports bar atmosphere, Bisla's offers a Thirsty Thursday beer pong tournament, various theme nights and hookah - all without a cover charge.
