Playboy named The Swamp Restaurant among one of the best 10 college sports bars in the nation.
"The Swamp is a frequent bar that draws in die-hard UF football fans, and that's why it made Playboy's list," said Playboy publicist Abi O'Donnell. "It is a fun atmosphere to hang out and especially watch a game".
Ohio State University's The Varsity Club and Oklahoma State University's Eskimo Joe's joined The Swamp on the list, which was released on the Playboy Web site Sept. 18.
"The Swamp is the most popular local watering hole," said Ron DeFilippo, the restaurant's owner, adding that hundreds of students and alumni stop by on a weekly basis and even more come by on game days.
But football isn't the only entertainment The Swamp offers. It holds events like holiday parties and Martini Tuesdays. It's even had performances by Sister Hazel and David Archuleta.
"Any award is good in my business," he said. ESPN and COED Magazine have also named The Swamp one of the best college sports bars in the nation.
