Place to watch college football on Coronado

Anyone know if The Henry or Coronado Brew Pub have TVs that typically show college games on Saturday? We will be driving over to Coronado after our flight arrives and we’re looking at one of those two places to have lunch and relax a bit before exploring the island. Any other recommendations would be appreciated.

If you’re looking to catch college football on Coronado after your flight, both The Henry and Coronado Brewing Company can be good options, but there are some nuances to consider. The Henry is more of an upscale American eatery with a casual vibe, and they do have TVs, but the focus is more on the dining experience than a sports bar atmosphere. You might catch a game if you ask for a table near a TV, but it’s not guaranteed that multiple games will be on at once.

Coronado Brewing Company, on the other hand, has more of a relaxed pub atmosphere, and they typically have TVs showing sports. It’s a smaller space than larger sports bars in downtown San Diego, but for a laid-back lunch with a beer while watching college football, it’s a solid choice. Saturdays during football season, they often show popular college games, especially local teams.

Other options on or near Coronado that are known to show football include:

  • Café 1134: A casual spot on Coronado that has a few TVs and often shows sports. Great for a quick bite and a coffee or beer while catching a game.
  • The Brigantine: A seafood-focused restaurant chain with a location on Coronado. They have TVs and a more casual environment where sports are commonly on.
  • Island Brewing Company: Another small brewery/pub on Coronado with TVs for sports fans. It’s quieter than Coronado Brewing, but still a good local spot.

Tips for visiting on a Saturday: if watching a game is a priority, it’s best to call ahead and confirm that they will have the game you want on. Coronado is smaller than downtown San Diego, so sports bars are limited, and seating can fill quickly, especially on fall football weekends. Otherwise, you can enjoy a nice lunch with a beer and take in the relaxed island vibe before exploring.
