When the game goes to overtime, your AV shouldn't be the reason guests leave. Drive revenue and guest loyalty with the ultimate game-day environment. We engineer immersive sports bar AV systems that take how fans experience every play up a notch.
A sports bar does $3K on a Tuesday and $200K on a Sunday game day. A lot of sports bar AV systems are designed for Tuesday.
If your sports bar television systems can’t handle peak demand (picture every screen routing the right game, every audio zone hitting the right energy, every control accessible without a manual), the revenue walks out.
The bars winning are the 15% that treat their sports bar AV setup as an entire infrastructure.
Screens, speakers, lighting and controls should work as if it's part of the business. Our sports bar AV company designs systems around service flow and the moments that keep people glued to their seats.
“Do I want to stay?”
57→80
Noise is the #1 dining-out complaint (Zagat 2018). Slow-tempo background audio raises average dining stays from 57 minutes (fast tempo) to 80 minutes (slow tempo) — 23 more minutes of spending per visit.
“Do I want another round?”
+8.1 %
Intentional screen placement lifts featured-product purchases by 8.1%. Better placement, not more screens.
“Will guests linger?”
87 %
87% of sports viewers say they'd stay longer than usual if a venue screens live games — rising to 94% among higher-spending guests. Direct revenue lift from AV investment: more time at the bar means bigger tabs.
For both new and existing sports bars, our approach is designed around your floor plan, revenue goals and your busiest night.
AV at the table from day one. Drawn in alongside the walls, the wiring and the plumbing.
We assess what you've got, keep what works, and replace what's holding the space back.
See It First
Every project starts with a visualization of YOUR venue. Your floor plan, sightlines, seating layout, etc. We show you exactly how the entire system works together in harmony.
Then you pick the performance level for every wall and zone:

The main bar wall gets Best. Premium 75" displays at each station, full overhead audio coverage, and dedicated lighting scenes so the game looks bright even when the area is dimmed for service.

Ready to Start?
Walk through your floor plan with a Crunchy Tech designer and get a second set of eyes before making any major decisions.
Run your entire sports bar from a single tablet (or from your couch).
Our multi-TV control systems put every screen, speaker, zone and light in your venue under one interface. Integrate directly with DirecTV to manage channels across every display. Run your own drink specials, promos and happy hour ads right alongside the game (no extra hardware needed).
Automate your lighting scenes for game day, late night or brunch without lifting a finger. For owners and corporate teams, remote access means checking in, making changes or troubleshooting are location independent. You can be in your home office or living room on a laidback Sunday evening.

Every seat in your bar should feel like the best seat. Here's how we make that happen.
Sports bar screens have to do beyond looking impressive on the wall. Guests need clear views from different seats and sharp picture quality during fast movement. Plus a setup that still looks clean when the venue is packed.
Crunchy Tech designs commercial digital displays and projection systems around your layout, viewing angles, lighting conditions and game-day traffic. LCD screens, LED displays, projection or a full multi-screen sports bar TV system can all work beautifully when they are placed with the space in mind.
The twin goal is to give every guest a better view of the action and give your bar a visual setup that feels truly reliable and built for heavy utilization.
A video wall should feel built into the space. Crunchy Tech designs video walls around screen size, viewing distance, brightness, control and the natural focal points of your bar. It gives guests one strong place to look during major games, watch parties, pay-per-view events and packed nights.
Done well, a sports bar video system gives the area more energy and your venue a memorable visual centerpiece.
Digital Menu, Outdoor Signage & More
Digital signage turns dead screen time into revenue by pushing specials, promos and branded content
Digital signage gives your bar more control over what guests see before, during and between games. Use it to feature menu items, promote specials, highlight upcoming events, display private party details or point guests toward the next big watch party. The content can change throughout the day; the same screens can support lunch service, happy hour, game night and weekend crowds.
Crunchy Tech sets up sports bar digital signage for your team to keep the space current without printing new signs or asking someone to tape flyers near the entrance. Cleaner walls. Faster updates. Better use of the screens you already have.
Your sports bar TVs should fill seats more than they fill walls.
Since 2008, Crunchy Tech has helped sports bars across the country build systems that make match day easier to watch and even easier to run.
We plan the screen layout around four things mainly: your space, crowd, seating and staff. That means guests get better views of the action while your team gets a system that can handle multiple games, channels, ads and events without turning the bar into a control-room headache.
Our sports bar TV setup and installation process covers the full setup, starting from planning the display layout all the way to installing the screens and making certain everything works the way your bar needs it to.
We look at screen placement, cable routing, picture quality, channel control, advertising spots, and how the system will be used during MLB, NFL, NBA, UFC, college games and other major events.
The end goal is a bar TV system that feels natural in the space, gives patrons a clear view and lets your bar staff handle busy game days manageably.
A great picture means nothing if the roar of the crowd sounds like it's coming through a tin can. Our audio systems make every touchdown, buzzer-beater and goal feel like it's happening live right in your bar.
Sound has a huge say in how a sports bar feels.
Guests should hear the game where it must, enjoy the music between plays and still be able to talk across the table. That balance takes planning. Crunchy Tech designs sports bar sound systems around your layout, ceiling height, seating areas, bar traffic and the different zones inside the venue.
We help you build audio that fits the space: clear game audio for big moments, music that carries without taking over and a sports bar TV distribution system your team can conveniently use on the nightly bustle.
Your patio should hit just as hard as your main bar. We make sure it does.
Sunlight kills most screens. Ours thrive in it.
Your patio is prime game-day space. Crunchy Tech installs commercial-grade outdoor displays and digital signage made for bright sun, rough weather and long hours of usage. Put one screen above the bar or build out a full outdoor video wall. Either way, guests on the patio get the same fantastic view and championship-game energy they came for inside.
If the crowd can't hear the call, they're not staying for another round.
Outdoor audio is a different challenge - no walls, no ceiling, no help. Our commercial sound systems are engineered for open-air environments, delivering clear, powerful audio without blasting your neighbors. Zoned coverage means your patio, rooftop or beer garden gets the right sound at an adequate volume, no dead spots.
Save more then 40% on your electric bill
The right lighting turns a bar into an experience. The wrong lighting kills one.
Lighting should shift with the space. Set brighter scenes for the pregame rush, lower the lights when kickoff starts, then move into a cooler late-night mood when the crowd changes.
Crunchy Tech programs those scenes into the same control system running your bar TVs and sound. Your team can follow the schedule or make quick changes during the night.
One tap adjusts the space. The staff stays locked in on satisfying guests as opposed to walking around to flip switches.
