The NBA season is in full swing and the Alamo City is erupting with pride for the Silver and Black. If you’re unable to snag tickets for one of the team’s 38 remaining home games — no worries, we’ve got you covered. Check out these six spots to watch a game around town.

The Friendly Spot, 943 S Alamo St.

If watching sports outdoors is more your style, this is the place for you. Grab a pint, order some bites, and watch the game on the 16-ft Slab Cinema Screen. Pro tip: This spot is kid friendly.
