Root for the home team before, during and after the game at the little house on the corner of Mint and Morehead Streets. It is hard to miss, with the big bulldog face painted on the building, sitting right across the street from Bank of America Stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers. Sometimes there's live music at this uber tailgating locale, with WFNZ doing a live broadcast. Admission is free.

This pub is open every day and has plenty of televisions and a heated deck decorated with Kelly green LED lights. Its allegiance is with the Cleveland Browns from preseason to the end. Entertainment non-football nights include trivia contests and karaoke. One interesting menu option is the Garbage Plate Special. It has four burger patties (six ounces each), on a one-pound bed of fries or tater tots, with a pound of macaroni salad, meat sauce and four pieces of bread. Finish it and Kennedy's will comp you the $35 meal and put your victorious photo on its Hall of Fame.

There is a lot of Yankees memorabilia at Picasso's, and the pizza, pepperoni rolls and Caribbean creepers wings get high praise. Located in the University City area, this is a logical destination for UNC-Charlotte fans, the 49ers, named for this area's gold mining history, and 1949, a significant year in the school's development. The football team, launched in 2013, is entering its sophomore year, and games are televised locally. You don't have to be a sports lover, however, to have fun here. Just enjoy watching the exuberant bar patrons enjoy themselves.
