Just because you’re taking a fabulous vacation in Napa Valley wine country doesn’t mean you have to skip out on following your favorite teams while you’re away. In fact, while Napa Valley has hundreds of wine tasting rooms, it also has dozens of great sports bars and other venues that are perfect spots for sipping a few choice beverages, enjoying some great food, and watching the Big Game.

While the City of Napa, with its several walk-friendly blocks, has a great volume of locations to catch a game, there are many great spots throughout Napa Valley for sports fans. Here is our list of some fan favorites, ranging south to north in Napa Valley…or, what the locals refer to as down-valley and up-valley.

American Canyon

At the gateway to Napa Valley in American Canyon, Dos Botellas serves up fresh Mexican food and margaritas. This taqueria proudly features authentic family recipes. Plus, Dos Botellas regularly shows soccer, football, and baseball on TVs in the main dining room.



Downtown Napa

For a traditional sports viewing experience, try Norman Rose Tavern. With a trio of televisions around the bar, sports fans can enjoy tasty cocktails, delicious food, and watch the Big Game. Downtown Joe’s has a similar setup, only with more TVs (in one part of the bar, they have four televisions set up to make one giant image). And don’t miss Napa Palisades Saloon. With multiple televisions throughout the bar, this place is sure to have your favorite team on TV. Plus, with the selection of appetizers and beers on tap, there is an option for most everyone. That’s hands down a first down!

Stop in at former pro football champion head coach Dick Vermeil's First Street wine tasting room, Vermeil Wine. Vermeil spent time as a coach for both the Eagles and the Chiefs–leading each to historic championship games–and the single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a guaranteed touchdown.

On Clinton Street, soccer fans will love Barnhouse Napa Brews, where a huge television in the unassuming lounge regularly shows UEFA Champions League Soccer when matches air from the United Kingdom. At Barnhouse, the vibe is cozy (think your best friend’s living room) and, depending on the time of your game, you can get anything from coffee and pastries to wine, mead, and beer. Goal!

The Barnhouse fun doesn’t stop at soccer. Those hankering for American football will be able to catch 2025’s Big Game in their fun pub-like atmosphere. 

At the end of the block, Armistice Brewing Company is the perfect place to watch the “Big Game” on their big TV. This taproom features pop-ups with local food trucks for the ultimate taproom tailgate.

If open air viewing is more your style, The Garden by Tannery Bend Beerworks is one of Napa’s newest venues and features an indoor/outdoor beer garden. For the ultimate outdoor experience, you can head down to the Napa Yard across from the popular Oxbow Public Market. This fully outdoor experience has communal seating for large groups or firepits where you can watch the game on a large projection screen while drinking your favorite beverage with your four-legged friends which are always welcome.

Head to Stateline Road Smokehouse along the Rail Arts District in Downtown Napa for Kansas City–style BBQ and the Big Game on the big screen. No matter what team you’re rooting for, you’re a guaranteed winner ordering a brew and large side of juicy burnt ends.





City of Napa

NapaSport Steakhouse and Sports Lounge, an upscale sports bar just south of Downtown Napa, is technically like three separate venues in one: a sports lounge with 14 TVs, a fine-dining restaurant, and an outdoor patio with TVs during the warm-weather months. The food offering is available within all three areas but the experiences are vastly different, especially during 49ers, Giants, and Warriors games, when excitement in the lounge rivals any sports bar in the country! Next door at Forge, you can watch your team in front of the roaring fireplace or step outside to play a quick game of cornhole in between bites of their signature wood-fired pizza.

Another great spot for catching a game is Ace & Vine, Napa's card room. The bar areas and gaming tables all have HD big screens within sight. You can even watch a game while you play blackjack or poker. While you're here, dine at The Lincoln, which is a part of Ace & Vine, but with a separate entrance. This gastropub is upscale but cozy and has several TVs for watching the game.

South Yard at Napa Valley Marriott features televisions sprinkled throughout an al fresco seating area. In addition to sports games on the TVs, guests can get in on their own games – South Yard features ping-pong, cornhole, and darts. It’s a great place to spend a gameday – or any other day!

Every Sunday, don your favorite football colors and head over to Crush Lounge at The Meritage Resort for the ultimate game day experience. Crush Lounge offers the NFL Sunday Ticket paired with tasty breakfast specials and bottomless mimosas. And, the fun doesn’t stop after the football games! After the touchdowns, stay around for the strikes with some friendly competition of your own on the bowling lanes – crush it at Crush Lounge!

BIG GAME EXCLUSIVE: Just outside the City of Napa, Carneros Resort is Big Game ready in 2025, and will be showing America’s favorite football game at both the POST Tasting Room & FARM Pavilion. The Pavilion boasts large-screen HDTVs, local draft beers, craft cocktails and lounge-style seating, plus game day nibbles for the biggest football game of the year.




Yountville

Slide into a bar seat at R+D Kitchen to catch a game on one of two small screens along the bar– with a great beer, and a dynamite bite. Dish out on snackables like their picnic-style deviled eggs, jalapeno queso and guac, and don't miss the go-to crispy buttermilk fried chicken sandwich. Bliss. 
 
BIG GAME EXCLUSIVE: Head to the Hotel Villagio lobby at Estate Yountville to catch the Big Game football action while enjoying mouthwatering buffalo wings. Football fans can enjoy the game with wings and “Bucket of Beers” specials.

St. Helena

At Pizzeria Tra Vigne, enjoying sports wine country style is the name of the game. Arrive early for happy hour specials before the game. Pizzeria Tra Vigne features $5 beers on tap, $5 well drinks, and $7 “Red, White, and Bubbles.” Plus, with smoked wings, herbed fries, and…wait for it…$2 oysters on the half shell, the pre-game action is enviable, to say the least. Get yourself a spot at the bar because Tra Vigne knocks it out of the park!

Charlie’s is a great place to catch playoff football and enjoy some of the best fried chicken in the neighborhood. This year, the Big Game will be playing at the bar (sound off!). Saddle up to watch your favorite team with their Prime Rib special– enjoy delicious Applewood-smoked wagyu served with twice-baked potatoes.

Erosion Tap House is a beer mainstay on Main Street with plenty of delicious nosh to pair with your favorite game– and just wait until you feast your eyes on their “I Could Eat” food menu. Get draft-friendly hot honey BBQ wings, fresh-baked waffle pretzels with beer cheese, or a scoop from the in-shop ice cream parlor. Enjoy Erosion’s special in-house menu for 2025’s Big Game with saucy wings and more. Doors open at 12pm.

BIG GAME EXCLUSIVE: Forum at Meadowood is a great place to gather – and during Big Game weekend, the space is transformed for the afternoon with viewing screens and a menu of classic, game-time indulgences to include nachos, wings, sliders, and more. Set, hut!

BIG GAME EXCLUSIVE: Need to fill up on bites before the game? Host a stress-free Super Bowl party with Clif Family Bruschetteria Food Truck’s ready-to-serve party trays, perfect for football fans and friends, and add on game-day favorites like Buffalo, Teriyaki, or BBQ Wings Platter or Loaded Nachos.



Calistoga

Known for spa treatments and mud baths, guests in Calistoga have a range of choices for watching sports, too. Susie’s Bar, a traditional locals bar, has a couple of giant flat-screen televisions.

At Lincoln Avenue Brewery, or LAB, find 10 big-screen televisions, 20 beers on tap, a garage-style microbrewery, and an expansive patio. Brunch here is delicious – try the deep-fried risotto Benedict, a perfect hearty start for those early-morning games.

The Calistoga Inn Restaurant & Brewery has one of the most popular outdoor dining venues in the Napa Valley. Its patio stretches along the Napa River and its award-winning micro-brewery (Napa Valley Brewing Company) occupies the historic water tower. The pub offers a vibrant late-night social scene and is a perfect sports viewing venue boasting five flat screen HDTVs.

BIG GAME EXCLUSIVE: Get ready for an epic Big Game day celebration at the Calistoga Depot. Enjoy the game from TVs around the distillery bar – or enjoy a ticketed VIP viewing on the Jumbotron complete with great food and drinks in the Depot Mezzanine.

Boasting the title of Calistoga's sole authentic sports bar, Johnny's Restaurant & Bar is located in the historic Mount View Hotel in downtown Calistoga. With its daily “Happiest Happy Hour” offerings and signature house-made Mud City Brews, sports enthusiasts can immerse themselves in entertainment on the five HDTVs adorning the bar, staying open late for the true fan.
