Bookies Bar & Grille has everything that's loved about sports bars -- big-screen TVs, a large bar, a patio where hot dogs are grilled -- in a setting so posh, even the girliest of girls could enjoy it. But this is no wussie sports bar. Nothing can be heard over the roar of fans when the home team scores. This place gets so packed during games that plowing a path to the bar is a feat -- but one well rewarded by a cold beer or bracing shot. --Sara Kandel
