Fall doesn’t really begin until football season does. Almost overnight, we trade in our swimsuits for jerseys. Luckily, it also means sports bars competing for customers and saving us all money. No matter what team you’re cheering for, take advantage of deals on game day. Standings Bar Eight large TVs and free food makes Standings a touchdown. They offer draft beer specials from 5-7 p.m. Monday-Friday and free Atomic Wings on Monday nights during Monday Night Football at 8:30 p.m.Stop by every Friday for free pizza at 8 p.m. or grab a free bagel Sunday afternoons from September through January. If that’s not enough, you can order in food from nearby restaurants. The Half Pint Monday through Friday from 4-6 p.m., save with $5 draft beers and well drinks. Rotating specials include half-price bottles on Mondays and $25 for five cans on Tuesdays. On weekends, $18 gets you bottomless brunch from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. while watching the early games. With hundreds of beers on the menu it’s easy to spend a day sampling. I like to build my own burger (starting at $12). McFadden’s There’s no penalty for offering rotating deals seven days a week. During Monday Night Football take advantage of $3 drafts starting at 6 p.m. You’ll see a sea of orange on Sundays with Buffalo Bills fans clamoring for McFadden’s unlimited beer and wing specials starting at $30 for the entire game.
