Where to watch the Olympics in Philly

The 2022 Beijing Olympics are here, running from Feb. 4 to 20.

Since the games are taking place in Beijing, which is 13 hours ahead of Eastern Time, it’s important to remember that not all games will be streamed live (unless you’re watching in the middle of the night), so it’s a good idea to call bars ahead of time to be sure they’ll be showing replays of competitions.

Many of the area’s sports bars are showing the games on their multiple televisions, so you can easily cheer on your favorite Olympic teams and athletes.

If you don’t have cable or are looking to cheer on the athletes outside of your home, here are bars that are showing the Olympic Games.

This favorite, historic Center City bar has high-definition televisions and projector screens throughout its two-floor space that’ll be showing the big Olympic Games, including snowboarding, skiing, and ice skating. Specials like the winter wonderland mimosa and the BIG burger will be available throughout the Olympics.
