If I'm heading to a sports bar, the fact that it's maybe not "gastro" enough really isn't a consideration. I'll get my gastro at another time and place...
Cheap drinks, average food, and lots of TV's are mainly what make any sports bar successful. No argument there. But when the food isn't good and the service is even worse, it doesn't really matter how cheap the beer is.
People will go elsewhere. And when a restaurant/bar is trying to gain a solid customer base, ultimately, good service and good food will keep people coming back. Beer is beer, no matter where you go.
