Beloved sports bar chain quietly closes multiple restaurants
The chain has suffered so massive growing pains which has forced it to close locations.
The sports bar space has become incredibly challenging because it's wildly crowded.
You have national players like Buffalo Wild Wings which run massive advertising campaigns that make them the default choice for many players. In addition, there are regional favorites like Miller's Ale House, Duffy's, and countless others that offer quality food and an excellent sports experience.

Duffy's, a Florida-based chain, even offers 2-for-1 drinks. That seems like it should not be legal (and it probably isn't in some states) but it's allowed in Florida and offering that all-day promotion has proven to be a major draw for the chain.
In addition to chains that define themselves as sports bars, you also have players including Chili's and Applebee's. These restaurants are not exactly sports bars, but they offer a sports-friendly menu and plenty of televisions.
