Sports Illustrated's Peter King dined at Scotty's Downtown location in 2010 during the NFL Combine; maybe that's what inspired the lively, locally based chain to design its menu to look like a copy of S.I.. Owner Scotty Wise is a huge sports fan, and he always makes game days -- especially during March Madness -- a little more special with touches like a Bloody Mary bar and Twitter challenges. TVs in the booths and throughout the bar ensure you'll never miss a play.
