As if sports-crazy Philadelphia doesn't have enough to boo about, we shockingly don't even crack the top 50 cities in the U.S. with the most sports bars.
Driving the news: Our 6.8 sports bars per 100,000 residents is No. 67 out of 112 U.S. cities and is below the national average of 7.3, according to data from Yelp.
- Our statewide numbers are just as anemic at 6.9 per 100,000.
Zoom in: If you had Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, as the No. 1 spot on your bingo card, have a shot on us.
- Just don't ask about our favorite places to score brews and catch some roundball.
Yes, but: Things could be worse. We're looking at you, Provo, Utah, which came in dead last.
The bottom line: Cheers, Philly, to being middle of the (six) pack.
