Best of Metromix Cincinnati 2010Sports bar
When watching the game, whatever the game, there's a balance of needs: beer, food, TVs. Here's some top options.
And the winner is…
Dickmann's Kentucky Sports Cafe
479 Orphanage Road
Fort Wright, KY 41017For some, heaven means white puffy clouds. For others, it’s cold beer, never-ending sports talk and girls in tight referee tops.

Nominees
The Pig and Whistle
2680 Madison Road
Cincinnati, OH 45208Neighborhood: Hyde Park
Formerly Mulligan's Hyde Park Pub, the sports pub is jazzed up with new colors, a better menu and more college pride (logos and flags). It still has plenty of seating and high-definition televisions in the main dining area, accented by a long bar and an impressive draft beer wall and a bevy of taps. The menu includes many of the sports pub basics, such as wings and burgers. There’s also a black bean burger and a few other vegetarian, healthier items. The pulled pork bbq sandwich is from BBQ Revue, and there’s a pig and bull burger: half ground chuck, half pork.
Game Day Sports Cafe
537 E. Pete Rose Way
Cincinnati, OH 45202Neighborhood: Downtown
It's OK to raise your voice in here, and high-fives are encouraged. Jerseys and team colors are part of the unofficial dress code at Game Day Sports Cafe, located near Great American Ball Park. Here fans gearing up to cheer on the Reds or Bengals can grab a bite to eat or drink before and after the big game. Packed on game days, the bar offers a view of Pete Rose Way as fans make their way to the stadium. No ticket? No worries: Order a nice cold one and enjoy the game on one of the bar’s 16 hi-def flat-screen TVs. They even have a Nintendo Wii hooked up for patrons.
Scoreboard Sports Bar
3783 Shady Lane
North Bend, OH 45052Scoreboard Sports Bar has plenty of TVs for you to catch the game. Daily drink specials, a digital jukebox, darts, Keno and MegaTouch help keep you entertained as well. This well-kept sports bar is located right next to LaRosa's so you can have a pizza delivered without missing a second of the game!
Martino's on Vine
2618 Vine St.
Cincinnati, OH 45219Neighborhood: Corryville/Clifton Heights
Get a taste of Pittsburgh’s rich Italian heritage just minutes from the University of Cincinnati. Their homemade sauce is infused into many dishes, such as the buffalo fries and of course, the Pittsburgh-style wings. Kick back with a cold one and enjoy the game (don’t forget your Steelers jersey!)
