3 Places to Watch March Madness in Tarpon Springs

Thursday and Friday often are called the "two greatest days of TV sports."

That's because the NCAA basketball tournament plays dozens of single-elimination basketball games, working its way from 64 to 32 teams (and then down to 16 by the end of the weekend).

Better yet, they're all televised! This means that diehard fans can watch basketball for 12 straight hours each day, on Thursday and Friday.

But where to watch? Comfort is important, so the spot needs to serve fine pub food, offer a selection of beer and boast some big-boy TV screens (and plenty of them to catch multiple games in progress).

Also choosing a spot close to home makes everything much more convenient, with no traffic or hassle.

Here are some prime choices for Tarpon Springs:

1.)Lagerheadz, 606 N Pinellas Ave.: Goood beer choice and
better-than-usual sports bar fare, including seafood. Smoking only
allowed outside on patio.

2.)Captain Jacks Waterfront Grill, 21 Oscar Hill Rd.:  Get your games with plenty of seafood and beer. Captain Jack's has TVs inside and out, so you can watch multiple games from nearly anywhere in the building.

3.).: Sports on multiple
TVs in the bar area, with a full menu and bar. OK in the early hours,
but be prepared to fight for space as the night goes on.
