Looking for a bar to watch your college team? Here's where to look in Washington DC and Northern Virginia.

September 12, 2023

Welcome to the first edition of the 2nd Home Bar Report!

In here, you’ll find the most comprehensive guide to every college football team’s bars in the Washington D.C. area for the 2023-24 season.

Most of the bars in this list are verified through the university’s local alumni chapter, but there may be a few there are, let’s say, not school sanctioned.

More information about each bar as well as photos and videos can be found on the 2nd Home Sports Map. And if there’s a bar that we’re missing, let us know via the Nominate Bar page so we can verify its gameday presence.
