There’s no escaping the excitement of one of the largest sporting events in the world. Yes, the Super Bowl. Though none of my favorite teams made it to the big game, I’m along for the ride, watching the entertaining commercial breaks and dancing my way through the Halftime Show. For those seeking the perfect spot to revel in the excitement of the big game, here are five local venues hosting watch parties. Or, if you prefer to watch in the comfort of your home, check out these places to get some game day to-go specials. Reminder, kickoff is at 4:30 p.m., but the eating and drinking can commence at any time.
