This year, March Madness runs from March 18th to April 7th, which means you have about three weeks’ worth of games to enjoy! Are you ready to grab a barstool in front of the big screen at some of Green Bay’s best sports bars and cheer on your favorite team?
Wondering where to go to cheer on your favorite NCAA team as they compete to win it all? Here are some of our favorite places in and around Green Bay where you can watch your bracket either hold strong or totally fall apart:
Stadium View Sports Bar
You can’t go wrong with Stadium View if you want to watch your favorite game — or pregame before a home game. With online and paper bracket sign-ups, plus epic prizes like a 65-inch Smart TV, gift cards, coolers, and Miller Lite swag, the excitement never stops. Stop in for your chance to win while enjoying Miller Lite, Vizzy, or Happy Thursdays specials. Brackets are due by March 20—don’t miss out!
Anduzzi’s Sports Club
Anduzzi’s Sports Club is another gameday favorite among locals and visitors alike. They’re located just a few short blocks from Lambeau Field, which means they know a thing or two about hosting a whole bunch of sports-obsessed fans. Anduzzi’s is bringing the energy for March Madness with unbeatable drink specials, delicious pizza deals, and exciting prizes up for grabs! Catch every game on their big screens while enjoying your favorite drinks and bites. With giveaways happening throughout the tournament, it's the perfect place to cheer on your bracket and score some wins of your own!
Narrow Bridge Plate & Pour
If you’re looking for a cozy neighborhood brewery to catch the March Madness action, Narrow Bridge Plate & Pour in Howard is the perfect spot. Just northwest of Green Bay, this local favorite offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with dozens of beers on tap, including craft and local favorites. Their elevated food menu goes beyond typical bar fare, featuring delicious options that pair perfectly with a cold drink. With TVs on every wall, you won’t miss a second of the tournament, making it a great place to sit back, relax, and cheer on your bracket!
Cocoon Brewing
Let’s stay on the topic of breweries for a second, because we want to talk about a brand new brewery that just opened in De Pere called Cocoon Brewing. This place is awesome and it would be perfect for taking in March Madness games. The main taproom has plenty of TVs for watching the game, or you can grab your crew and rent a cocoon! These thoughtfully curated spaces are perfect for cheering as loud as you want for your fave team!
1st and Goal Bar and Grill
1st and Goal Bar and Grill is a great spot to catch all the excitement of March Madness. With happy hour specials every weekday from 2-5 PM, fans can enjoy discounts on select drinks and appetizers while watching the games. The menu offers a variety of snacks and bites, making it easy to settle in for an afternoon of basketball. Whether you're following every play or just looking for a lively atmosphere, 1st and Goal provides a welcoming space to enjoy the tournament.
Ned Kelly’s Pub
Heading downtown? Stop at Ned Kelly’s Pub and watch the game with people who know how to appreciate a good beer. They have over 100 beers on tap (yes, you read that right) so it’s the perfect place to find a new favorite. Try a flight of four while you watch the game! If you want to plan your drinking strategy ahead of time, you can see their full beer list here, and you can even filter by SRM value (color), IBU level (bitterness), and RateBeer.com rating!
Poke the Bear
Poke the Bear is a sports bar and restaurant that’s located inside the Hotel Northland, just a block north of Ned Kelly’s Pub. This is another great place to consider as you map out your March Madness viewing strategy for three main reasons: 1) they have plenty of TVs, which is pretty important; 2) they have amazing food, like their gaufrette chips with bleu cheese sauce; 3) and finally, they make one heck of a good Wisconsin Old Fashioned. Enough said?
We hope this list inspired you to head to Green Bay for March Madness! Which place are you going to try first? Let us know over on our Facebook page!
