Sideliners Grill, San Antonio

At Sideliners Grill, more than 30 flat screen televisions broadcast major sporting events with NFL Ticket and ESPN Game Plan packages. But the action isn’t only limited to the screen. Outside, the restaurant has eight sandy volleyball courts where it hosts men’s, women’s, and coed volleyball tournaments. Those with an insatiable appetite for competition can also join in on a match of open-play soccer, play in the horseshoe pit, engage in a game of bags on their Cornhole boards, or head inside for a round of billiards.

In a bright dining room spacious enough to accommodate a small army or all the people in the world named "Eggbert," games can be chased with brawny burgers and pints of draft beer. Chefs shower housemade barbeque sauce over a variety of classics that range from succulent baby back ribs to tender chopped brisket sandwiches. The wait staff, meanwhile, sets up giant beer towers as a playful way for patrons to fill their own glasses.
