If the words "Sports Bar" bring to mind rowdy fans high-fiving, cursing at players and spilling beer all over your head, then Cover 3 will be a much welcomed alternative.
(Unless of course, you ARE a rowdy, high fiving, cursing, beer spilling fan.
In which case, there are plenty of other places we can recommend.
) But if you aren't, Cover 3 is the sports bar with that touch of class you've been missing.
The food, atmosphere, and beverage selections are "Upscale", but the vibe is "down home".
Keeping in mind that a sports bar is indeed, a place to watch sports, there are Big Screens aplenty, including a 60 foot behemoth right smack in the middle of the dining room.
You can't possibly miss a play, even if you try.
Coexisting with the main bar and open dining room is a more subdued dining area for a more traditional experience.
Its strategic lighting could actually be dubbed romantic, if you don't mind the probability of your date repeatedly looking over your shoulder to check the score.
In addition, there is a cool loft lounge upstairs and a private dining room with all the bells and whistles to make it more than suitable for any corporate event.
Don't expect the usual bar fare at Cover 3 either.
We ordered brick chicken and beef tenderloin sliders that were tender and juicy and came with a side of fantastic Parmesan fries.
Add to that an extremely cold Stella and a Yummy Strawberry Basil Lemonade and the result is: SCORE! The options are endless for this Austin happy hour 3-2-1 deal: $3 off appetizers, $2 off cocktails, $1 off beer and wine.
All in all, Cover 3 is sports enjoyment wrapped up in a sleek, delicious package that only attracts the champions of fans.
Cover 3 is located at 2700 W.
