Essay question: Why should I drink here?
Sportstown is one of the linchpins of the Milk District. It’s weird that it has a very no-frills kind of vibe despite the seemingly endless number of frills it offers. Beer is plentiful and generally pretty cheap, particularly on weekdays; rental prices for pool tables and other games won’t break the bank, either. Whether you’re looking for an after-work hang, pregaming for a later event in the District, or just want to go to a place where there’s something to do while you drink, Sportstown may just have what you’re looking for.
