Best sports bars in Austin
Kung Fu Saloon recently relocated to its new location on West 6th, but the watering hole's vintage arcade theme has remained the same—as has its legit sports bar vibe. Take in a game on one of the mounted TVs, than play Skee Ball, Ms. Pacman, Street Fighter II and Giant Jenga during game breaks. The beer list here is impressive, but there's also a sake bomb menu to continue with the Kung Fu theme. Who knows—maybe your Street Fighter game will get better the more you drink.
