Salem's Home Field Advantage

Good food, cold drinks, and every game you want to watch — no excuses.

We built Underdog Sports Grill for the fans, the neighbors, and everyone who believes a great meal shouldn't require a reservation. Just walk in, find your seat, and let us handle the rest.

Our Story

We're not the favorites. We're the ones who show up.

Salem has a lot of places to grab a drink. But not many that treat you like you actually belong here. Underdog Sports Grill opened its doors on Commercial Street with one simple idea: give sports fans a home that doesn't feel like a chain, a dive, or a compromise.

Our kitchen turns out burgers you'll actually remember, our bar keeps the pints cold and the pours fair, and our screens are placed so nobody misses a play. It's the kind of spot where regulars know your name, first-timers feel welcome, and game day feels like a tradition — not a transaction.

People first Every guest gets the same treatment — no VIP table, no attitude, just good hospitality.
Drinks that respect your time Cold beer, proper cocktails, and bartenders who actually care about the pour.
Food worth coming for Not an afterthought to the sports. Our kitchen takes pride in what it puts on your plate.

The Atmosphere

A place that feels like yours.

Wooden bar with warm lighting and glassware

The Bar

Our bar is the heart of the room — warm wood, proper lighting, and bartenders who remember your order. Whether you're here for one drink or the whole night, you'll feel right at home.

The Game Room

Every angle has a screen. Every seat has a view. No matter where you sit, you won't miss a single play. We've spent time getting the placement right so nobody is left looking at a wall.

Spacious dining area with booth seating and framed sports photos

The Dining Room

Booths for groups, tables for two, and enough space to breathe. The décor is classic — wood, leather, and framed moments from sports history. It's not trying to be trendy. It's trying to be comfortable.
