    Data: Yelp; Note: Among 112 metro areas with at least 500k residents; Chart: Axios Visuals

    If you're looking for a place to watch the Crew , you won't have to search far.

    By the numbers: Columbus area has more sports bars than most other U.S. cities, according to the online restaurant review platform Yelp.


    • Our metro area boasts 10.3 sports bars per 100,000 residents, meaning there are hundreds scattered around Central Ohio.

    Zoom in: Among the top rated bars on Yelp are Parlay Sporting Club (we found it decent, but pricey ), the Sportsbook at Hollywood Casino Columbus , Gresso's Bar & Grill and Bobcat Sports Bar .

    đź’­ Tyler's thought bubble: These days, the best sports bar is called My Living Room.

    • I'm otherwise most partial to Roosters — you can't beat the wings, attentive service and reasonable prices.

    Editor's note: The headline on this story's bar chart has been corrected to reflect that the Yelp data concerns sports bars per 100,000 residents (not per capita).
