Delicious Sports bars

Despite its namesake, White Rock Sports Bar isn’t your typical sports bar. “I tell people it’s more of a neighborhood bar with nine TVs,” owner J.D. Stevens says. It’s a quiet, no-frills spot, but you can bet the sound will be on during Cowboys, Mavericks or Rangers games. Stevens opened the bar about six years ago. Before that, it was a full-service restaurant known as Shadyside Café & Tavern, which hosted stand-up comedy. Now, as White Rock Sports Bar, it draws an older crowd, but the regulars are just as friendly to 20-somethings who wander into the bar. The menu offers several different burgers, quesadillas, salads and fried appetizers. Those with stomachs of steel can try the massive White Rock Burger, packed with two beef patties, chili and bacon. Stop by at 3 p.m. Sunday afternoons for the bar’s weekly jam session with 15 to 20 local musicians. “Each one takes turns playing a song, and everyone joins in,” Stevens says. “It can be pretty interesting.”
