Walk-On’s a finalist for ESPN’s Best Sports Bar in North America

Walk-On’s Bistreaux and Bar, founded in Baton Rouge by two former LSU basketball players, is among 12 finalists for the Best Sports Bar in America contest, sponsored by ESPN. Competitors include bars from Maui to Toronto. Already having topped the list in Baton Rouge in our own Best of 225 poll—as well as taking top honors in Lafayette and New Orleans—a national contest perhaps seemed inevitable. “This is a huge honor for us, and we’re extremely proud to be named among the top 12 sports bars in North America by ESPN,” says Brandon Landry, co-founder and owner of Walk-On’s. “Now we’re asking all our loyal customers, and everyone in Louisiana, to go online and vote for Walk-On’s. Let’s show America our Bayou Pride!” In addition to earning the coveted title of “Best Sports Bar in North America,” the winner of the 2012 competition, along with the fan who nominated it, will receive a Monday Night Football Experience sponsored by ESPN Mobile. Voting is open through Oct. 2. Click here to cast your vote.
