IMPORTANT: You should read this notice from The Woolshed on their facebook page about why they can’t stay open for the whole game tonight. We’re trying to find out if other pubs have been contacted. LINK.
The Superbowl and American Football in general has seen a huge surge in popularity over the last few years. We’ve gone from a few specialised bars showing one big game a year, to most of them covered over a dozen or so pubs who show them on a weekly basis.
Here, we’ve put together a list of some of the best places to watch the game. We try to include as much detail as possible, including whether you need a ticket or not.
McGowans
McGowan’s are devoting their whole top floor to the Superbowl party. They’re usually a late bar anyway, and they’ll be staying open for this one. They’ve got 16 screens and free hot dogs at half time.
McSorleys
This is a very good option if you live anywhere on the southside, want to watch the game, but don’t want to travel too far to get home. McSorley’s in Ranelagh is a great spot for sports. They’ve got 3 big screends and 12 HD tv screens. They’ve got a good craft beer selection and they’ll be serving hot dogs all night. Event link.
