Somewhere to Actually Watch It
Both City Dog locations have TVs, a full liquor bar, and about 20 beers on draft. Kennedy Blvd is in Channelside, close enough to Amalie Arena to work as the before-or-after spot. Rome Ave is in West Tampa, about 0.7 miles from the University of Tampa.
Food for a Group
The sharing end of the menu does the heavy lifting here. Spicy buffalo wings come in three sizes: 10 for $18, 20 for $28, or 50 for $60, hot or BBQ, with ranch or blue cheese. Rollin Nolan Nachos are $17, piled with house made cheese sauce, spicy beef or chicken, black beans, and the rest. Spicy guacamole with chips and salsa is $13, and the Mexican Fondue is $13.

Pregame or Postgame
Rome Ave runs happy hour Monday through Thursday, 4 PM to 6 PM and again 9 PM until close, at $5 drafts and $2 off wells. That lines up with most weeknight game times on either end.
Staying Late
The bar is open until 3 AM Friday and Saturday, 1 AM Thursday, and midnight Monday through Wednesday and Sunday. West coast games and overtime are not a problem.
