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

41. Flagstaff, Arizona – Northern Arizona University

Flagstaff may be better known for its mountain vibes and outdoor adventure, but don’t underestimate the game-day pride that fuels this Northern Arizona college town. At Beaver Street Brewery, you’ll find NAU fans kicking back with house-brewed pints and wood-fired pizzas while watching the Lumberjacks play on big screens scattered throughout the rustic, lodge-style space. The brewery’s laid-back, alpine aesthetic pairs perfectly with the town’s high-elevation charm, making it a prime pregame or postgame hangout. On snowy days, there’s nothing better than grabbing a hearty plate of nachos and cheering on NAU with the locals. For a more eclectic and amped-up atmosphere, head to The Green Room, Flagstaff’s legendary live music venue that transforms into a high-octane sports bar on game days. DJs, themed parties, and a high-energy student crowd keep the place buzzing, while projectors and massive TVs make sure every play is on full display. Whether you’re bundled up on the brewery patio or dancing at halftime under neon lights, Flagstaff delivers a wildly fun, mountain-town twist on college sports culture.
