Where to Kick Off
10 Austin bars scoring points with sports fans on Super Bowl Sunday

They may not have made it all the way, but they're with us in spirit.
For fans of football (and creative commercials), this Sunday is the event of the year. Starting at 5:30 pm, the Kansas City Chiefs will face off with the Philadelphia Eagles in the 59th Super Bowl. Even though the game starts in the evening, several venues around Austin will be starting things off early with drink and food specials, live music, and of course, the game.
Some of them will even be showing the real event of the day: The Puppy Bowl.
Meanwhile Brewing
3901 Promontory Point Dr.
Meanwhile Brewing is kicking things off at 1 pm with the Puppy Bowl, before switching it over to the Super Bowl at 5:30 pm. Both events will be shown on the large outdoor TVs as well as the smaller indoor and patio screens. Food trucks will have game-day specials including hot fudge sundaes, buffalo ranch style pizza, and a game day platter with corndogs, fries, popcorn chicken, and ranch-spiced tater tots. Guests are invited to bring folding chairs or blankets to get comfy.
Armadillo Den
10106 Menchaca Rd.
Armadillo Den and onsite food truck Strut and Dorothy are teaming up for one memorable Super Bowl Sunday. If guests buy a bucket of beer or seltzer at Armadillo Den, they'll receive 20 percent off wings at Strut and Dorothy. Strut and Dorothy is known for its Cajun Truffle wings, Nashville hot chicken wings, and more. TVs are scattered around the venue so you won't miss a second of the broadcast.
The Austin Eagle
8201 Cross Park Dr., Ste. B2

Dainty Dillo
3201 E. Cesar Chavez St.
The Dainty Dillo features eight TVs and one giant big screen so guests won't miss a single play. During the game, guests can cozy up next to one of the many firepits with views of the Colorado River. Before the game, DJ Goodiez will be playing from 2 to 5 pm. Plus, expect bucket specials, shot specials, and beer and shot combos for the game.
Chalmers
1700 E. Cesar Chavez St.
With multiple screens and a brand new tent with blankets, heaters, and fire pits, this East Austin spot is a great place to catch the game. The drink menu includes draft cocktails and yummy bites, plus a new selection of hot drinks to keep you warm during the game. Chalmers is open until midnight, so guests are invited to stay late and either celebrate or commiserate together.
Fresa's
1703 S. 1st St. and 3600 N Capital of Tx HWY Suite A-110

101 Co. Rd. 409, Spicewood, TX
Iron Wolf Ranch & Distillery is hosting a Super Bowl event worth the drive out to Spicewood.
