This upscale, sporty joint scores with 9,500 square feet of airy, relaxing space that features widescreen plasma TVs at every angle, plus four giant projection cinema-style screens at the two main bars. A couple of parlor-style billiard tables, bar-top games, video golf and darts entertain customers who want to play as well as watch. Outside, an attractive porch deck with a polished wood floor and a couple of additional flat screen TVs offers an opportunity to smoke without missing a drive. This is the sports bar reinvented with under $10 sandwiches and grownup dinners for a millennial crowd. Courtside is unusually long on seafood, from mussels in red wine to shrimp salad on rye with sprouts. Much of the rest is familiar: Philly cheese steak, seafood linguine and chicken teriyaki, but done with extra style and care. A sushi bar was recently added.
