41 Underrated College Towns with Epic Sports Bars You Have to Visit

35. Conway, South Carolina – Coastal Carolina University

When Coastal Carolina burst onto the national football scene, Conway was ready—and so were its bars. The town’s pride in its teal-clad Chanticleers is palpable, and nowhere is that energy more alive than at The Coop. A rustic chicken-themed bar with wood-paneled charm and an electric atmosphere, The Coop serves up cheap pitchers, sticky wings, and big-screen TVs that make you feel like you’re in the stands. A few blocks away, Crafty Rooster balances things out with its relaxed, upscale-pub aesthetic. Think reclaimed wood, Edison bulbs, and a massive craft beer list that highlights the best of local Carolina brews. With a beer garden out back and a rotating tap wall inside, it’s the perfect spot to wind down after a big win—or rally before the next one. Conway may be coastal cool, but on game day, it’s all heart, heat, and Chanticleer thunder.
