The Dallas Cowboys are the most watched team in the NFL, and their fan base stretches across every state. But in the DFW metroplex, Cowboys Sunday is a regional event. From the bars surrounding AT&T Stadium in Arlington to the upscale spots in Uptown Dallas, silver and blue dominates every screen. These bars are where the true faithful gather — not the bandwagon, but the ones who remember the dynasty and still believe the next one is coming.
Dallas Proper
Christie's Sports Bar
5530 E Mockingbird Ln, Dallas, TX 75206
The original Dallas sports bar since 1985. Over 70 screens, a crowd that knows football, and they open early for noon kickoffs. The nachos are enormous, the queso is house-made, and the Mockingbird location near SMU draws professionals, students, and lifelong fans. Multiple DFW locations, but this one has the most history.
The Nodding Donkey
2900 McKinney Ave, Dallas, TX 75204
Uptown sports bar with a massive patio and Dallas skyline views. Elevated bar food — brisket sliders, loaded fries, craft cocktails — but the Cowboys crowd keeps it loud. Patio has heaters for cooler months and misters for September heat. Multiple projector screens outside. Reservations recommended for Sunday afternoon.
Frankie's Downtown
1303 Main St, Dallas, TX 75202
Downtown near Deep Ellum. Long bar, strong pours, late-night kitchen. NFL Sunday Ticket on every screen with dedicated Cowboys audio. Younger, more casual crowd. Great if you want to watch the early games and transition into a Deep Ellum evening. Deep whiskey selection.
Trophy Ranch
3018 Greenville Ave, Dallas, TX 75206
Lower Greenville country bar that does Sunday football with Texas flair. Live music pauses for game time, the mechanical bull sits idle during kickoff, and the BBQ menu features brisket from a local smokehouse. Cowboys jerseys mix with cowboy boots in a way that only makes sense in Dallas.
Arlington & Fort Worth
Flying Saucer Draught Emporium
111 E 3rd St, Fort Worth, TX 76102
Sundance Square beer hall with 200+ draft options. Draws Cowboys fans from the west side of the metroplex who skip the I-30 traffic to Dallas. The beer list is overwhelming in the best way, sausage plates pair well with football, and you can see a screen from every seat.
Happiest Hour
2616 Olive St, Dallas, TX 75201
Multi-level Uptown bar with a rooftop overlooking the Dallas skyline. Ground floor sports bar has massive screens. The rooftop turns into a viewing party with projectors. Craft cocktails, shareable plates, and a crowd that dresses up even for Sunday football.
The Brass Tap (Fort Worth)
1601 S University Dr, Fort Worth, TX 76107
Near TCU campus. Craft beer bar with a dedicated football crowd on Sundays. Over 50 taps, halftime trivia, and a friendly crowd that makes newcomers feel welcome. Smaller and more intimate than the mega-bars, which some fans prefer.

Game Day Tips
- Texas Heat: September and October mean 95°F+. Choose strong AC or a misted patio. Indoor Uptown spots are safest early in the season.
- BBQ Is King: Most bars serve brisket. If they don't, Pecan Lodge and Terry Black's are nearby in Deep Ellum.
- Rivalry Games: Eagles and Giants games draw opposing fans from DFW transplant communities. Stick to the bars above for Cowboys-only energy.
- Arrive Early: Noon kickoffs fill by 11:30am. Uptown bars take reservations for Sunday — use them.
