For the millions of Americans quitting their jobs in search of a better work-life balance, increased autonomy and greater opportunity, franchises present a compelling option. Some of the <a href="https://1851franchise.com/what-are-the-benefits-of-owning-a-franchise-2716498#stories">benefits of owning a franchise</a> include a built-in customer base, instant brand recognition, no experience necessary to get started and generous franchisor support and training. The franchising industry is poised for a big year in 2022, but there is one sector that is not getting much attention but may have tremendous potential.Data from Chicago-based market research firm Datassential forecasts that consumers will spend $771 billion in restaurants in 2022 — an increase from the $608 billion spent in 2020 and the $701.4 billion in 2021. This suggests that restaurant franchises could be in store for a big year in 2022.Many of us grew up near a local bar and grill that was a community staple. Some have exploded into national brands. Others are still small-town haunts that are rapidly expanding. One thing they all have in common is that they represent opportunities for potential franchisees.&nbsp;These are some of our favorite Bar &amp; Grill franchises for 2022.<h4><a href="https://thegreeneturtle.com/about/franchise-information/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-bar-and-grill-franchise-opportunities-of-2022-2718243" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Greene Turtle</a></h4><ul><li>Startup Costs: $1,455,000 – $1,757,500</li><li>Unit Count: 46</li></ul><h4><a href="https://aroogasfranchising.net/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-bar-and-grill-franchise-opportunities-of-2022-2718243" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Arooga’s Grille House &amp; Sports Bar</a></h4><ul><li>Startup Costs: $1,300,000 to $3,600,000</li><li>Unit Count: 17</li></ul><h4><a href="https://ownabuffalo.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-bar-and-grill-franchise-opportunities-of-2022-2718243" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Wings and Rings*</a></h4><ul><li>Startup Costs: $1,280,000–$2,412,000</li><li>Unit Count: 85+</li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/wingsandrings">1851 Brand Newsroom</a></li></ul><h4><a href="https://walk-ons.com/franchising?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-bar-and-grill-franchise-opportunities-of-2022-2718243" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux</a></h4><ul><li>Startup Costs: $1,200,000–$2,500,000</li><li>Unit Count: 60+</li></ul><h4><a href="https://www.ownabostons.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-bar-and-grill-franchise-opportunities-of-2022-2718243" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Boston’s Pizza Restaurant &amp; Sports Bar</a></h4><ul><li>Startup Costs: $1,145,000 to $3,017,000</li><li>Unit Count: 23</li></ul><h4><a href="https://www.barlouie.com/franchise?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-bar-and-grill-franchise-opportunities-of-2022-2718243" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Bar Louie</a></h4><ul><li>Startup Costs: $923,500 to $3,707,333</li><li>Unit Count: 70</li></ul><h4><a href="https://beefobradysfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-bar-and-grill-franchise-opportunities-of-2022-2718243" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Beef ‘O’ Brady’s</a></h4><ul><li>Startup Costs: $806,825 to $1,288,350</li><li>Unit Count: 198</li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/beefobradys">1851 Brand Newsroom</a></li></ul><h4><a href="https://thebrasstapfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-bar-and-grill-franchise-opportunities-of-2022-2718243" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Brass Tap</a></h4><ul><li>Startup Costs: $780,925 to $1,318,525</li><li>Unit Count: 46</li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/brasstap">1851 Brand Newsroom</a></li></ul><h4><a href="https://www.bar-145.com/franchise?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-bar-and-grill-franchise-opportunities-of-2022-2718243" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Bar 145</a></h4><ul><li>Startup Costs: $450,000 to $2,500,000</li><li>Unit Count: 3</li></ul><h4><a href="https://buildthepickle.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-bar-and-grill-franchise-opportunities-of-2022-2718243" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Stacked Pickle</a></h4><ul><li>Startup Costs: $426,000 to $940,000</li><li>Unit Count: 9</li></ul>
