Dante Ulanday - News Moderator 
There’s no shortage of sports bars and restaurants across San Diego serving pub fare like loaded potato skins, molten mozzarella sticks, saucy fried chicken wings, and ice cold beer under the gleaming light of multiple television screens. But across San Diego County, bars have gotten more playful, infusing their menus with local favorites (think Baja-style fish tacos, juicy shrimp ceviche, and poke bowls) and less expected drink pairings. Check out these winning local destinations for sports game viewing and snacking, all of which cater to the football crowds (both footballs, that is) but also remain mainstays any time of year. New to the map this update: Bub’s at the Ballpark, Shakespeare Pub, and Swing Social.
