World Sports Grille was an American chain of sports-focused restaurants launched by Sega Entertainment USA in spring 2008.[1] Originally consisting of a flagship location in Tucson, Arizona, the chain quickly expanded into Seattle, Washington and Detroit, Michigan by the following years. An additional two locations were planned for Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and an unannounced city in New Hampshire, but due to financial issues, the chain eventually went out of business entirely.

History

This was not the first time Sega had attempted to enter the catering business - the concept dates back to at least 1980 with the opening of P.J. Pizzazz.

World Sports Grille was included in Sega's 2011 sale of the remaining GameWorks facilities. Having received mixed reviews from food critics, the venue closed in March 2013.[2] Sega had originally planned to open more World Sports Grilles across the US, though these never materialized.
