Public space — libraries, parks, plazas — is clearly the best sort of space. But as far as commodified space goes, it doesn't get much better than a bar. Bars serve alcohol, facilitate conversation, and show sports on large televisions. What more could you ask for?

In honor of bars (and, also, the start of the NFL season, which begins in earnest this Sunday), SFGATE rounded up 49 bars around San Francisco with the elusive and exclusive DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket Package. That means these bars can play any game you want. No more wishing for CBS to play the Dolphins game: If you show up at any of these bars, they'll be able to assist you in your quest to watch Ryan Fitzpatrick slinging throws across the Miami turf.
