It’s football season once again, and more important than where your favorite team may be ranked in the preseason polls or power rankings is where you’ll be settling in to watch games on Saturdays and Sundays (or even Mondays & Thursdays).

That’s where Steak Shapiro comes in. On this morning’s edition of ‘The Steakhouse,’ Steak brought Atlanta Eats to the airwaves on 92.9 The Game to give his list of the top sports bars around the Atlanta Metro area with plenty of spots to eat, drink and watch this weekend's season openers for the Bulldogs and Yellow Jackets.
