Let's face it: there are no pro or college teams in the desert, which probably means you have an allegiance to some team somewhere else and odds are your game isn't nationally televised this weekend. So what do you do? Let Metromix show you the best places in the valley to go and have a drink while you yell at the TV with other like-minded fans.

The Beer Hunter Sports Pub & Grill
78483 Hwy 111 - La Quinta760-564-7442
The Beer Hunter is always a lively place to go watch your team on Saturday or Sunday. Get there early if you want a seat because this place gets crowded. They have so many TVs you don't have to worry about missing a single play.
Burgers & Beer
72773 Dinah Shore Dr -
Rancho Mirage
Newly opened location in Rancho Mirage has more TVs than an electronics store. With a flat screen TV (complete with remote control) at every booth and TVs on every wall, it's hard to move your head into a position where you can't see the game.
The Point After Sports Pub and Grill
43331 Date Palm Drive - Cathedral City760-770-6337
Good food and solid drink specials make this a great place to watch your favorite team. Lots of seating but tends to fill up early, especially on Sundays. Large bar and a lively crowd make this a great place to root for your team or drown your sorrows after a tough loss.
Sports Shack Tequila Bar and Grill
68955 Ramon Rd # 7 - Cathedral City760-328-7876
While not as fancy as some other places, the Sports Shack is a great place to go on the weekends to get your football fix. The staff will always make sure you get the game you're looking for, and if things turn ugly for your team, there's always the tequila bar...
The 19th Hole
42305 Washington St. - Palm Desert760-772-6696
Don't let the name fool you, this place has a lot more than just golf. Always a good crowd and great food with several breakfast options. They have a make your own Bloody Mary bar every Sunday to start your day off exactly the way you like it.
Playoffs
12105 Palm Dr - Desert Hot Springs760-251-2644
A neighborhood staple in Desert Hot Springs, Playoffs is a great place to watch some football and grab a cold beer. Nice patio area if you need to grab a breath of fresh air before your game heads into overtime.
