Profile

The people who look for the spot in a bar that doesn't face a TV will need Prozac to drink here: Literally dozens of monitors bathe tourist swarms in ESPN and major-network broadcasts. The air ripples with regional U.S. accents as visitors compare this mother ship to her satellites in Anaheim, Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, D.C., Denver, and Las Vegas. Pass by the gift shop and Studio Grill food court and head upstairs to the Screening Room, where two big-boards display multiple games and stats for those perched at the darkened bar, gathered in banquettes (there's always a wait for 'em), or ensconced in plush, front-row leather recliners. — Bruce Bennett

Private Rooms

This sports mecca has the Studio Grill, good for hundreds; the Bristol Suite, with panoramic views and ﬁfteen TVs; and Skybox lounges, which accommodate 75.

My friends and I went to the ESPN Zone to watch the Patriots vs. the Titans Playoff game. We waited two hours for a table, but that we didn't mind. The fact that we had to go up to the third floor and put our name in, we didn't mind that either. It was extremely cold outside about 0 degrees, and the downstairs seating was freezing. We told a manager, but he said that "the building was not prepared to handle this type of extreme cold". He failed to apologize or comp anything off our bill, instead he acted like we were the problem. Everybody in the restaurant downstairs was wearing hats and coats. That's just ridiculous! I have worked in the restaurant industry for ten years, and I have never seen such poor management and overall disorganization in all my life. Do not go to this place. My friends and I are still trying to forget the experience.
