Think of a classic grill joint mixed with a raucous sports bar vibe, and you get The Trough. It’s the kind of place where you can sink your teeth into a solid burger while you cheer (or groan) at the screen, all while the drink specials keep you well lubricated for the NFL game on blast.

It’s a straightforward sports bar experience — laid back, but easily accessible for locals and those driving in for the game. Parking isn’t a nightmare, which is always a plus on busy game days.
Screen Setup & Sound
The screen setup is what you’d hope for in a place like this. Multiple large TVs are scattered throughout the bar, making sure you don’t miss a play no matter where you sit. The sound is cranked just right, so you hear every tackle and touchdown. No one’s talking over the game, which is refreshing.
