Vote for the best sports bar in Rhode Island in our reader poll
If you’re looking for a place to spend game day, there’s nothing quite like the energy of a sports bar.
The televisions are huge. The food is better than what you have in your freezer at home. The beer is cold. And there’s a whole group of people to cheer (or in the case of the Patriots this past season, groan) with you.
But, where’s the best place to go capture that spirit? We’re asking you. We’ve collected a list of sports bars around the state, and now, we’re asking you to vote in a friendly competition.

What do the winners get?
What do the winners get? Clout. Bragging rights. Being in The Providence Journal article announcing the winners. There’s not a tangible benefit to winning these polls other than winning and being able to tell people you won.
How do we pick who is in the poll?
Rhode Island may be a small state, but it has a lot of restaurants, making it hard near impossible to come up with an all-encompassing list for the polls. The way we are doing it ahead of the poll we announce what the next poll is going to be on the Providence Journal Food Instagram page @ProJoEats in both the feed. People can leave a comment with the restaurants they think should be in the poll (restaurants are encouraged to nominate themselves), we’ll round up those entries for the poll. We do reserve the right to use our editorial discretion.
We also will add a restaurant that requests it within the first 48 hours of the poll being up. Email klandeck@gannett.com with nominations.
We’ll also announce the next poll in the same article that the current poll is running in, and people from there can email their nominations to klandeck@gannett.com. We’re going to follow best sports bar with best donuts.

How does voting work?
We’re setting it up so people can vote once a day, which means if you really love a restaurant, you can vote for it more than once. The voting for this poll will close on Sunday, Jan. 28, at 11 p.m. Winners will be announced the following week.
