If you’re looking to catch Louisville Cardinals football games beyond the stadium (or when the team is on the road), the best way is to head to a fan-friendly sports bar, such as the Sports & Social Club at Fourth Street LIVE!, close-to-campus faves like Old Louisville Tavern and Granville Pub, or the ever-popular Zanzabar, Boombozz Taphouse, and others that have tons of HDTVs, good food and drink, and the right atmosphere for cheering on the Cards! Check our guide for more great spots.
