The Beverly brings sports, food, drinks and grown Black social energy together for an Eastside experience that feels more like your neighborhood spot than a giant game-day entertainment complex. Not everybody wants 57 televisions and a cannon going off when somebody scores. Sometimes we want a drink, some food, the game where we can see it and a crowd we actually enjoy being around. The Beverly fits that lane.

This is the grown neighborhood option in our Top 6. Sports matter, but the experience doesn't stop functioning when nothing major is playing. You can come here because you actually like the bar. That distinction matters. The best sports bars become somebody's regular spot. They're where you already know what you're ordering and where you're meeting everybody when the text says, “Where y'all watching the game?”

For visitors, The Beverly gives us an opportunity to recreate a little of that feeling. BlkTravel would choose The Beverly for: grown sports watching, Black social energy, football, basketball, casual dates, food and drinks, and travelers looking for an Eastside neighborhood experience.
