Most ESPN Zone Sports Bars to Close

Charlotte airport used to have one. The home of the $15 vodka/sprite.

 

Most restaurants are getting killed. Not surprising that an overpriced place with shitty food and high overhead would be in trouble.

 

So it's like every Hooters I've ever been to, then?

 

Hooters serves food?

 

That was the rumour.

 

I"ll miss it because now I'll have no place to defend my title as Best Bubble Hockey Player Among the People I Know.

Apropos of nothing, I was there once at the one in Chicago when Mariotti was taping ATH. I didn't assault him, verbally or physically. I'll always regret that.

 

I believe that the general public is finally standing up to expensive mediocre food and service delivered by most of the high profile chains.

 

Been to the ones in Chicago and DC as a treat to the kids after walking all over the city all day.

Also was nice to sit back and relax in the booths while the kids played games.

Overpriced, but a nice respite.

The one at Downtown Disney has a terrible layout. Hate that one.

 

To answer an original question, there is a Sporting News Grill in Baton Rouge tucked inside a Holiday Inn. Why it isn't by LSU's campus is beyond me.

Been to a few of them. Food's not bad... not the best either, but decent. The big problem is what goes in there now? That's a HUGE vacancy for Ohio Street in Chicago.

 

I wonder if it's like the magazine: Awesome 20 years ago, but today is just a shell of its former self.

 

Its now TV guide for ESPN

 

There's one near my office that I've been to a couple of times for lunch. Any place that you can go to get Yuengling or Stella and a burger and watch sports for a while instead of being The Master of the Universe at the office is fine. Until they put TVs in Chipotle, I'll miss the ESPN Zone. Maybe they'll close them and re-open as ESPN2 Zones.
