Mafia Approved! Top Ranked Bills Backer Bars in the Capital Regio

Top Ranked Bills Backer Bars in the Capital Region

Football is back and so are the expectations.

The Buffalo Bills have been an elite team in the NFL for years, will it finally be their year? The die-hard legion of fans known as "Bills Mafia" surely hopes so, and if there was ever a fanbase worthy of a legit Super Bowl contender, it's them.

We did a poll on our WGNA Facebook to try and find the best sports bar in the Capital Region where the game is always on, and Bills fans can feel welcome. It turns out, there are quite a few places including Albany, Clifton Park, Troy, Colonie, Malta, Saratoga, and Hudson Falls and we think we have found the 5 best Bills Backers Bars west of Buffalo.

All of these restaurants or bars are recognized by the Buffalo Bills organization as official Bills Backers; an organized network of more than 100,000 Bills fans worldwide. Each Bills Backers operates as their own entity, organizing gatherings on game days.

If you're looking to watch the game on Sunday, Monday, or Thursday, you may find it difficult as reservations at most of these places fill up very quickly.

But, if you can catch the game at any of these top-ranked Bills Backers bars, you'll see plenty of red, white, and blue, be able to enjoy tons of great wings (maybe even beef on weck), great drink specials, and fun, interactive trivia and games.
