If you are a sports fan, and also enjoy the unique atmosphere of a pub or bar, you will understand that some establishments are a better choice than others. Some places are ideal for chilling out; sipping a brew and watching your team wipe out the opposition. Other venues would be better suited to the more conservative out there. The fact remains that wherever you go in the modern world today, you will find a bar, many bars even. Here follows a brief guide to choosing the correct watering hole for you and your friends or family.

Sports Bars.

These are the best places to hang out with the boys, or girls, sink a few pitchers of refreshing lager, and unwind whilst cheering on your favorite team sport. Usually they will host a special offer on most evenings; keep an eye out 'for two for one' deals on drinks and food items. However, it's probably not the best choice of venue for a family evening out, or for a romantic night for two.

Music Bars

For those amongst us who love 'live' music, these bars provide an excellent evening's entertainment. The music lovers amongst you will surely agree that there can be nothing better than relaxing with friends and family, listening to a live band in a comfortable venue. These establishments usually put on a show every night of the week, often advertising well in advance for popular acts. However, if you are in search of a quiet watering hole, to read your latest book, or chat with your neighbor about the state of the nation, then these pubs should not be on your shortlist.

Theme pubs.

No matter what city you go to in the Western World, and some further afield, you will inevitably come across a themed pub of some kind. Probably the most popular will be the Irish Pub; these are to be found everywhere. Usually with a traditional name such as 'Molly Malone's', they will inevitably have green décor, sell mainly Guinness beer, and serve Irish grub to the hungry traveler. If you can overlook the cliché of an Irish pub, or whatever the theme is, you will usually enjoy decent food and drink served in a clean and friendly establishment.

Family Pubs.

Some of us are no longer single; we can't just embark on a crazy pub crawl, taking us across the city and back, stopping in every single bar. Many of you will be married, and probably have a family, that does not mean your bar and pub days are over! There is a special niche of pubs/bars that have been designed with you and your family in mind, breathe a sigh of relief. A good family pub needs three features to qualify as such; firstly, a decent sized beer garden, perfect for those warm summer evenings. Also important is a safe play area, preferably supervised, allowing you and your partner a few precious minutes of privacy. And finally, a decent children's section on the food menu, offering the fare at a fraction of the full price.

It's your round!

Now hopefully you will have worked up a sufficient appetite reading this article, put on your jacket, and go to the pub, and don't forget your family if you have one!
