Watching the big game at a sports bar can be an unforgettable experience. While this venue can get a little rowdy, follow a few etiquette rules to keep the event pleasant for the staff and other fans around you. Here are a few do’s and don’ts when it comes to visiting a sports bar.

Do:

Plan the outing.

If you want to watch an important game at a popular sports bar, anticipate that the place will be packed. To ensure you get a seat, arrive early on game day. Look at their menu days in advance so that you know what to get. Otherwise, you may be waiting a while as other tables put in their orders.

Order together.

Whether the waitstaff comes to take your requests, or you go to the bar, encourage the people in your party to place their orders together. This efficiency lets the waiter serve other tables as needed and limits the interruptions to the game.

Don’t:

Block the view.

You won’t be the only one watching the game. Avoid standing in front of a seated table or walking in front of the TV to get to the bathroom. If you have to leave the table, find an alternate route that doesn’t bother the views around you. If a sports bar has standing room only, respect the people who arrived before you and don’t push your way to the front of the crowd.

Behave inappropriately.

There may be fans present who support the other team. While it’s OK to celebrate a goal or a touchdown, don’t be obnoxious and ruin the game for others. Avoid swearing, especially if there are kids nearby. Additionally, don’t drink so that you can’t control your actions—poor behavior may have you escorted out of the sports bar.
