Fox Sports Grill

Thursday, June 28, 2007

In 2001, FOX Sports partnered with B & B Restaurant Ventures to build a new type of dining, sports and entertainment viewing experience. Scottsdale was their first location and now there are Fox Sports Grills in Irvine, California; Seattle, Washington; Nyack, New York, Houston & Dallas, Texas, Atlanta, Georgia, and Charlotte, NC. This sports bar is huge inside, a place where you can enjoy a cold one and have room to spread out. Even on special occasions they do a great job of accommodating the crowds during some of the major Scottsdale events like the FBR Open and Russo & Steel car auction.
