While the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks battle out for the 48th Super Bowl title win, students will be congregating at Dallas restaurants and bars to enjoy the game?
For devoted fans or interested ad watchers, the Super Bowl is one of the largest viewed television events of the year. This can be all the more enjoyable at the right venue with the right kind of foods. Dallas offers hundreds of watch party locations, but 11 are worth a special mention. Five venues even offer unconventional watch-party options students may want to check out for themselves.
To start the list off, Humperdink’s Restaurant and Brewery is one of the most well-known watch party locations for any sporting event. Notably, ESPN voted Humperdink’s one of the best places to watch the Super Bowl. The restaurant and pub located on Greenville Avenue, has more than 20 flat screen televisions.
The Nodding Donkey, World of Beer and Twisted Root Burger Co. are all offering food and drink specials without cover charges and are walking distance from campus. With a 20 percent chance of rain Sunday, venues like Twisted Root Burger Co., with half of its seating outdoors, may become unpopular game day locations.
For students looking for a sophisticated place to watch the game, Primebar is offering brunch specials with a live DJ. The food is delicious and visually appealing while the atmosphere is rustically modern.
Fairly new, The Rustic is hosting its first Super Bowl party with live music leading up to the game. The restaurant and bar also features an indoor 125-inch flat screen and an outdoor 220-inch flat screen.
If students are interested in attending less conventional venues, places like the Granada Theater and Studio Movie Grill are offering a truly big screen Super Bowl experience. The Granada Theater has no cover charge but seats are limited to adults 21 and over while the Studio Movie Grill off Northwest Highway will have free food and raffles for prizes.
Dave & Buster’s is also offering game day specials with multiple flat screens where fans can play and watch at the same time. Likewise, Bowl & Barrel at The Shops at Park Lane is offering group rates to bowl while enjoying the game. For $100, eight people can bowl and watch the game for seven hours.
Twin Peaks is hosting a Fantasy Bowl Lingerie Party in Mockingbird Station.
Pop Diner in Uptown, although a small venue has two large flat screens and serves awesome breakfast dishes like giant chocolate chip and banana waffles 24/7. There’s also what they call Coney Island favorites and vintage arcade games customers can play for free. Pop Diner serves unique alcoholic beverages including a blow pop martini, a bloody bacon and a pop rock martini.
For students set on sticking around campus Sunday, stop by The Varsity in Hughes-Trigg Student Center where Omega Psi Phi will be gathering to enjoy the game at 5 p.m.
