My husband, a friend, and I came in last night hoping for a fun night out doin some karaoke and having some drinks (we ended up here from Where s Rufus Sports Bar- other patrons there recommended SportsZone). Much to our surprise, they apparently don t accept passports because they aren t valid because they don t scan?? As stated we visited another bar that scanned our friends passport no issue. I think either the bartenders need to retake their TABC license our they need management to train them differently. Because- what? Passports are valid ID bartenders that have their TABC should know this??

This has always been a home away from home to me. Love the experience I get when I come to Sportszone. The drinks are cold and the food is always great. The wings are the best in town. Its a great addition to Downtown Tyler unlike anything else on the square.

Last time I went to sportszone (years agoo) they denied me service cause they said my passport wasnt a valid ID. But this last time I went, Lilly and Addy were the best!! They kept making sure I was good and asking me if I wanted to order food!! great service ladies!!

I started going here because it was a clean and fresh smelling place. I went a few times then noticed that when the young lady with the green streaks in her hair served me, my card was charged for more than the tip I left. It was actually run twice one time. I really liked the place but I cant have people stealing from me. Update: she now has red streaks.

Hands down best sports bar in Tyler!! My friends and I come every Tuesday night for Texas Tuesdays. The service is always fantastic, whether the place is packed or if it s more low key. Addie, Jess, Lilly, and Maddy are always on the spot with quick service. And they frequently greet us by name! Also, both the fries and wings are fantastic. You have to check this place out if you haven t already!

Update: To clarify... I was sitting at the bar, unattended, and the Bartender was sitting at a table. The bartender sat at a table with a few people, the only other people in the place. Opened 1 can of beer for me and then never checked again. It was a Tues at 5:00 after holiday weekend so wasnt expecting much.

As far as sports bars go this was kinda weak. They charged us $5 each to get inside and it wasnt even busy. Usually when a restaurant bar charges a cover its because theyre showing a PPV fight or something, but that wasnt the case. We were starving after being at a music fest all day, since it was 10:30 our only choice was bar food. They had a limited menu of fried foods only. The food was good, no complaints there. Just overall an underwhelming experience.

I drove around the block 3 times in the pouring rain to come to this place because it seemed like a nice, chill place to hang out. Well, whoever the bartender is, is clearly VERY irritated with ANY customers being here. My drink tastes like garbage, and in a normal bar I would tell them and most bartenders would make you a new drink at no charge, but with the weird irritable attitide she clearly has, I dont even feel comfortable asking. I will never, ever come here again. The place might be okay if it didnt have a rude bartender that hates everyone that walks in.

I can t believe that Lily doesn t run this place by now. She is fabulous and always on point with the drinks and I have been coming here for 5 years. Addie is always on point with the customers and Summer is always making new friends and friendly and serving people as if they re family. These three are absolutely stellar and I can t thank them enough for all that they do.

On Saturday night (October 22, 2022), the bartender, Summer, falsely accused my friends of having liquor and a Gar on them and proceeded to kick them out of the establishment. This was 100% false and if you review the cameras, you would have proof of that. We walked in right after them (because my bf and I were meeting them) and witnessed very rude and unprofessional behavior towards this situation. Summer proceeded to apologize to my bf who was not involved in this matter at all. Never once apologized for falsely accusing our friends. After speaking with several Tyler people and old regulars of this bar, they ALL had similar stories of the staff being rude to customers. After we left, a gentleman visiting from Houston also said how awful the employees handled this and said he would never recommend this bar. If you are in Tyler, TX I would not recommend going to Sports Zone.

The bartender, Summer, falsely accused my husband of having a fifth of liquor and a gar on us when we arrived. I don t know what this woman s problem was with us, but I know we ll never spend our money here. We planned to meet up with a group before my class reunion at Rick s, which we happily did at ETX Brewing after being treated poorly at Sportzone.

I NEVER write bad reviews but I truly hope this catches the eyes of the owner. First, this place has everything a good sports bar needs to be successful with one key ingredient missing - friendly and welcoming staff. The wings were the best I have ever had but the service was lacking (being kind). Sad to see such potential going to waste! Owners, please either train your current staff to be friendly and to wait on the customers or just regroup and find staff that knows that if noone comes to the establishment there will be no establshement. BTW. The manager was very rude and staff seemed like they were walking on eggshells.

Dont go here the place is a scam they have no posted prices for drinks and no drinks menu with prices asked for specials they have no specials asked for prices on drinks the bartender response was what is your price range they charge what ever they feel like they dont know how to make mixed drinks this place is one of the worst bars in the area they dont make the mixed drinks in front of you they have to Google how to make a common drink and still make it wrong dont waste your time here the place is a scam and prices depend on how they feel its not a real sports bar its far from it its a joke here I was there on Saturday during prime time hours and there was no customers there except me rest where workers all the other places on the square had people lined up out the door but this place was empty and grill what grill everything seems to be frozen then either microwaved or deep Fried this place is certainly not a grill and definitely the sorriest bar around dont waste your time here its just disappointing dirty and bad service what kind of place doesnt have any specials at all anytime during the week

We stood at the bar waiting for the bartender to acknowledge us to order. She was at the other end talking. We waited more than 5mins. We made the mistake of ordering another drink- she started our drinks and then when 4 locals came in she set our glasses down to wait on them. Very poor service on her part! ***After reading other reviews it seems like the bartenders dont care to serve out of towners *** It was last Wednesday, the bartender had braded dark hair, about 57.
