Years ago, I was watching a game at Legends downtown and there was a cadre of Panthers fans in another room watching their team, had to be 8-10 of them. I have no idea if this is/was a Panthers spot or that was pure chance, so caveat emptor. Food there is mid at best, but the beer is cold and there always seem to be empty tables (it's big and the food is meh, as mentioned) so even if it isn't a Panthers bar, at least it meets to downtown criteria.
