Before sports bars, the only way to loyally follow your team was either from the bleachers or in a windowless van. Curb creepy behavior with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of upscale bar fare and craft beers at Press Box Sports Lounge in El Cajon.

Press Box Sports Lounge is a premiere play palace for sports enthusiasts entertained by a stylish menu, some 32 craft beers, and 15 HD TVs. Five-star kitchen king Jesus Frias preps palates with a starting line-up of appetizers, such as coconut shrimp ($10.95) and Kobe sliders coronated with gorgonzola cheese ($11.95). Turn side dishes into meals with piles of Press Box fries, six varieties come dressed in saucy lapels, cheese fringe, and rows of snap-on onions. In addition to his burger and sandwich stars ($10.95+), Frias sizzles 10-ounce cuts of new york strips steaks ($23.95) and lamb chops ($23.95) to soothe rampaging appetites or well-done black eyes.

Accented with rich wood and dark, leather sofas, Press Box exudes a classy swagger reserved for distinguished sportsmen and hockey players who prefer not to fight. Recline at the bar with a specialty cocktail or sip a freshly poured mug of Moose Drool ($5.50)—just one of more than 100 beers cruising the keg lines and lining back-bar coolers. The lounge also broadcasts every major sports package on its HD TVs, prompting laughter, occasional outrage, and sharp debates over baseball instant replay.
