Palo Alto Sports Bars

Dan Brown's Lounge and Sports Bar
4141 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, California; Tel. 650.493.9020
A tale of two bars in one, Dan Brown's Lounge and Sports Bar in Palo Alto is a retro styled chill out lounge in the front part and a raucously partying sports bar, complete with 10 televisions, in the back. Further amenities in the back sports bar include pool tables, foosball, pinball and air hockey—the absolute best game to play while drinking to cull the weak from the herd—so diversions are no problem at Brown's Lounge for the die hard group of local bar regulars and the occasional light smattering of Stanford students.

Old Pro
2865 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, California; Tel. 650.325.2070
541 Ramona St., Palo Alto, California; Tel. 650.326.1446
Palo Alto's classic sports bar, the Old Pro gets packed to capacity whenever there's a game on, but especially when Stanford is playing. Even though the joint is crowded the feel is totally laid back and the friendly service is quick at the Old Pro. The two locations however do slightly differ in clientele and ambiance with the downtown one (on Ramona St.) being the snazzier of the two, but, and call us old fashioned, we prefer the original one because it totally reminds us of a bus depot bar which you just can't seem to find amongst the otherwise usual tony Palo Alto establishments.
