Garland’s game-day scene is heating up! Our neighbor just nailed his fantasy football draft, the Cowboys are looking surprisingly decent, and for no reason at all, our buddy texted us the other day saying we’re the ultimate wing connoisseurs. Felt great. Oh, but you’re not here for that, are you? You want Garland sports bar intel. Good thing there’s no shortage of that, either.

Offerings will include char grilled burgers, a variety of bar snacks, and spring evenings on the covered patio – a spacious area with low-lit ambiance perfect for relaxing. Each burger costs around $14 and serves one person. Visits are best on weekends and karaoke nights, and reservations can be placed through their website.

Ebeneezer’s

OK, maybe this one was a little misleading – because here, we’re talking about the literal Ebeneezer’s, not some generic chain sports bar. As reported by regulars who’ve been coming for decades, owner Terry has been running the show for over 30 years and truly cares about the customers, where he will act as the heart of the place (who knew that was still possible?) to help with the drink specials and good times for the classic pub atmosphere.
With pool tables to shuffleboard, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at this perfect spot to make memories, and with $1.99 burgers on the way, it’s bound to become your new favorite place to join the party with friendly staff and great music.

It’s that time again – some of your favorite Garland sports bars are hosting weekly events, including: Monday free pool and burgers, Wednesday Karaoke nights, live music weekends, and regular sports viewing. The friendly bartenders, including the owner, keep the clean, well-kept space feeling like a neighborhood club where regulars gather.
