With 45 HD big screen TVs no game will be left out at Blake Street Tavern. Starting during the conference games, March Madness specials include Bud, Bud Light and Shocktop specials, Jameson deals, $10 bottomless mimosas and a build-your-own bloody bar.
Chopper’s Sports Grill (80 S. Madison St.; 303-399-4448)
This famous Cherry Creek sports bar has over 50 HD TVs from 18 inches up to 52. There are even TVs in the restrooms so not a moment of madness will be missed. However, watch out for the Jayhawks who take over the bar when KU is airing.
