Super Bowl LI (51) is kicking off on February 5, and bars are prepping their jumbo screens and are fully loading their beer stocks and snack selections to optimize the football fervor feels. To all of you who have been training your stomachs and livers hard all year to eat and drink to Super Bowl Sunday party levels—this is for you.
Here are five places ready to host the hell out of the Super Bowl Sunday.
Home & Away
With $4 Budweisers, $20 buckets of Bud, free games all day, skee-ball and basketball tournaments at half time along with tons of prizes there will be zero time to think about Monday. A must-order snack starter is the H&A Supreme fries—it’s like Taco Bell’s Fries Supreme adulting—made with crispy fries smothered in spicy cheddar fondue, sour cream topped with salsa and chives.

1410 World Bier Haus
If you’re a die-hard football fan or a half-time show watcher, the $5 bottles of Budweisers will have you hollering pre-, during and post-game. No football knowledge required.

Schanks
With two locations in the city, plenty of games to play and screens to watch the game on, football fanatics would be willing to pay rent to live here during the football season. Your only question will be, to mug or to jug? For the 4:30 pm kick off on the 5th choose from Bud light mugs for $5.50 or $16.50 for a jug.

Craft Beer Market
No matter what team you’ll be cheering for, you’ll also be cheering for your liver with $3 happy hour ALL DAY. After all, why would happy be limited to just an hour? Make sure to order up the BBQ beer chicken sliders to compliment your beer(s).

The Unicorn
Known as the “superpub” this spot has three bars in one building and will undoubtedly give you great jumbo screen views of the game. This is the place to exercise your stomach muscles with loaded potato chips, fried chicken sliders and crispy pig skins (a.k.a. ‘piggy puffs’).
