Thursday is The Sweet 16, and no, I’m not referencing the iconic MTV show. 

Does anybody else have flashbacks watching that in their best friend’s bubblegum pink bedroom, or is that just me? 

Whether you’re a ~chill girl who likes sports~ or just down to drink $19 vodka sodas on a random weeknight, March Madness is a fun excuse to gather around in a sweaty sports bar and listen to sweaty guys brag about how “sick” their brackets are. 

With that, here are the best bars to watch the game (and laugh about how Jordan Greenberg has none).
