I'm just curious if this is a thing of the past. Maybe during the attitude era or before the UFC got big. But is there a place that is actually a wrestling devoted bar where you live?

in the UK theres a chain of australian themed bars called Walkabouts that seem to show at least the big 4 at a few of their locations.

I know a pair that do but they don't advertise because the cost of doing it "correctly/legally" isn't really plausible for a small town bar
Both places have the network and show every ppv even NXT.

I don't go to bars, really, but I do notice when they advertise UFC PPVs, so I would probably notice if they advertised WWE ones. They do not.

There's at least one in Philly that I've been meaning to check out.
I think they even went full on invite only, secret knock speakeasy the other night for WK12

The Penny Whistle in Northampton shows all the big ppvs. They have a wrestling quiz before hand, and the atmosphere is usually pretty good.

They were still doing "Blast Zones" back in 2012. I watched The Shield debut in a Buffalo Wild Wings.
No clue if they're still a thing, I think they've ended that program since the advent of the Network.

Few do Wrestlemania and there's a live event company that runs parties in popular Dublin pubs for the big 4/5 (think they do one for MitB now).

Most sports bars in Nashville have the WWE Network and on a Sunday night if a ppv is on you get a free show, I think it's a remnant of RAW once being the breadwinner for The Nashville Network (aka SpikeTV)

I remember during the good days we had plenty of bars here.
Heroes O'Grady's Hoops Main Event
My city is currently depleted which is funny because I thought it was a WWE market.

One did where I use to live, I don't know if they still do it or not.

I don't know of any that show PPVs, but at my bachelor party this summer, we went into a bar well past midnight and they randomly had the Iron Man Match from Wrestlemania XII. So we watched that.
