Super Bowl LVII is Sunday, Feb. 12, and we’re ready for Rihanna, game day eats, and watching the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles face off. The Titans may not be in the final, but we can still celebrate pro football’s biggest night in style.

🏈 Out on the town

Almost Friday Sporting Club’s Tailgate Party starts at 2 p.m. and includes a bottomless cookout and pregame music. The Hampton Social will be projecting the game on its heated rooftop. Pro tip: The $30 MVP ticket gives access to an open bar and half-off pizzas from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Head to M.L.Rose for prize giveaways and two-for-one Yazoo beers beginning at 3 p.m.

For more game day fun, Brooklyn Bowl is hosting a free watch party (add on the buffet for $30+) with full concert sound on 14 screens. If you’re looking for the full experience, Woolworth Theatre’s Super Bowl event features a silent auction, beer specials, all-you-can-eat buffet, and more. Head to the Nations for dog-friendly watch parties at Fat Bottom Brewing and Bringle’s Smoking Oasis.

🏈 At home fun

If you’d like to cheer from the comfort of your own home, there are plenty of ways to make your Super Bowl Sunday special. Be the winner of your own watch party by picking up game day staples like barbecue, smoked wings, and sides from Edley’s Bar-B-Que, Peg Leg Porker, and Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint. Feeding a crowd? Score big with Jasper’s party pack (tenders, pulled pork sliders, turkey wraps, and a side) or fajita bar with choice of meat and fixings.

Chef’s Market is preparing homemade dips galore — think spinach con queso and chips, hummus and pita, and jalapeño pimento cheese. Dishes are available for pickup on Saturday.
