Howzat Sports Bar – Located along Kalayaan Avenue and a favorite among local and foreigners, this sports bar is famous for its good food, great 24-hour service and live sports on HD. Order their red curry while watching the game of the season with your other fellow fanatics and you’ll surely keep coming back for more.

Any guy would agree that it’s no fun to watch football or rugby at home, even if you have it on cable. So, have fun with the boys (and the booze) in these bars, cheer and holler for your team and your favorite athlete and feel that sporty spirit although you’re miles and miles away from the stadium or the boxing ring.
