Game On: Where to Catch BCS Matchups

Maybe you didn’t get that big screen television as a present this year.

It’s OK—there are a lot of sports bars in Northern Virginia where you can watch the Bowl Championship Series games (see a schedule below).

No matter where your college football allegiance lies, here are of a few spots you might try in and near Reston.

Of course, feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments section below, and post a review of these places to the Patch Places directory by clicking on the linked addresses.

Champp’s

(703) 318-7600

This chain sports bar and restaurant has multiple televisions, a good bar and solid pub fare.

Old-style pub meets modern sports bar.
