Swan Brewing, 115 W. Pine St.
You can’t go wrong with any of the beers at this brewery, but reader Fred W. prefers the Straight Outta Lakeland IPA. Order from whichever food truck is on-site for fresh, delicious game day grub.

It’s the bartenders who make this reader Megan S.'s favorite place to catch a game. Cheer on your team with friends — and play darts or pool during halftime.
