Canadian sports nuts are going to love this. The King of Beers and Score Media have announced a fantastic add-on to the already amazing free mobile sports app- The Score Mobile with Bar Finder. Score Mobile is a leading mobile provider of sports scores, previews, stories and player stats. Its many personalization options make it the ultimate source for sports fans. With the newest addition of Bar Finder, users are provided information on where to go to watch the game and have a pint or two. The features include:

• Robust television listings for live sporting events on all major TV networks
• Maps and distances to local bars across Canada where the games are available for viewing
• Highlighted bars participating in seasonal promotions

There’s nothing like getting together with your friends to watch the game; a few laughs, few wings, a few fights and even a few goals. Now you guys can decide where to go to catch all of the action, regardless if it’s the CFL, NHL or whatever your game may be. If you don’t have a favourite pub that you frequent, then this is definitely going to come in handy.

• You can get ScoreMobile for free in BlackBerry App World >>
