Want to avoid the traffic and crowds in downtown Ann Arbor? Head to the Session Room for pizza and a selection of 70 beers on tap. The lofted ceilings allow for unobstructed views of the televisions throughout the huge dining room.

This popular Main Street Irish pub is known for being the place to watch the other kind of football (also known as soccer), but fans of American football can also find the televisions at Conor O’Neill’s tuned into the hometown games while customers sip pints of Guinness and feast on fish and chips.

Old-time University of Michigan alumni may remember the original incarnation of the Pretzel Bell where many celebrated 21st birthdays in a raucous atmosphere filled with photos of past student-athletes. This new version is still heavy on sports memorabilia, but with slightly more sophisticated comfort food. Expect options like fried pickle spears, sliders, and fried chicken sandwiches.

Regents Field serves up all the favorite sports pub fare — from wings to potato skins to nine kinds of burgers.  Those wanting to get their own game action going can play a few rounds of Skee-Ball or darts.

The Haymaker Public House is geared toward college football fans with its ample televisions, pub food, and two-dozen beers on tap. The giant one-pound pretzel served with beer cheese and Fat Californian burger topped with spicy fried avocado and chipotle mayo can satisfy even the biggest of appetites.

This South University pub has been a popular campus hangout for more than 80 years. Named after the trophy awarded to the winner of the Michigan vs. Minnesota football game, the pub gives its fans a slice of history along with a slice of pizza.

This South University-area spot takes its name from the garage doors that roll up to give football fans the feeling of being outdoors while being sheltered from any bad weather. Enjoy more than 30 beers on tap and Pizza House’s full menu.

Not in the mood to be around crowds? Head over to Side Biscuit to take home some gourmet wings. In addition to the traditional flavors, they have an ever-changing lineup that includes Kaeser (Korean Caesar), Panang Thai curry, and Jamaican jerk.
