When the January snow becomes too dreary, eager football fans look forward to what is, to them, the best day of the year: Superbowl Sunday.
Whether you proudly wave a foam finger for the New England Patriots, or want to watch the Atlanta Falcons lose, there are some fun and festive places around town to enjoy the game on Feb. 5.
Dublin House
1850 Dominion Way
Price: $$
If you are looking for a place to drink cheap beer and watch the game from one of the many TVs this bar has to offer, Dublin House is the place to go.
This dive bar offers a variety of food from pizza to sandwiches. Drinks are plentiful, and the service is great.
The atmosphere is that of an older bar, so expect to see some older people in the establishment. This doesn’t mean that it will be less fun though, as the older crowds can get just as rowdy on game day.
Karaoke is usually a tradition on Thursday nights, but with the big game, the staff may make an exception and have it on Sunday.
Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar
1765 Briargate Pkwy. #803
Price: $$$
If you are itching to be seated at a table with a large group, Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar is the place for you.
Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar, with its inclusive bar and restaurant, has a variety of gourmet burgers and sides, as well as a long list of beers and drinks. If you are not in the mood for alcohol, there are also soft drinks and shakes.
Happy hour also falls during the game from 3-6 p.m. Customer can get $1 off any craft beer, or a margarita for just $5.
There are plenty of TVs to watch the game, but the atmosphere is not that of a rowdy sports bar.
The food is delicious and the drinks are reasonably priced, so keep this place in mind for your Superbowl Sunday.
C.B. & Potts
261 Kaycee Case Place
