🍻 Brews and Brewers

The Brewers still have a chance to reach the World Series and all eyes will be on tonight’s game at 5:08 p.m. Let’s hope they bring this energy to the field.

Unless you’re planning a trip to Los Angeles, there’s no better place to catch the game than at one of these local sports bars:

Jordan’s Big 10 Pub, 1330 Regent St.
It has the largest outdoor beer garden on Regent Street, so you can scream at Ohtani in the open air.

LJ’s Sports Tavern & Grill, 8 N. Paterson St.
Not only do they support local sports, but they also make a concerted effort to support the Madison Fire Department.

SconnieBar, 1421 Regent St.
Rest assured, one of the 37 TVs will be focused on Chourio knocking it out of the park.
Even more bars
