While, sure, Super Bowl Sunday is supposed to be about football, it is also all about indulging in food and drink. Austin’s bars and restaurants are excited for The Big Game — cheering for either the Kansas City Chiefs or the Philadelphia Eagles — by offering watch parties and game day food and drinks specials.

Whether you’re rooting for the Chiefs or the Eagles, or just want to watch megastar Rihanna’s first concert in forever, you might want to watch with fellow fans. Prep for a full day of football and eating while taking your pick from any of these Super Bowl watch parties.

Super Bowl LVII and everything below takes place on Sunday, February 12 (which also happens to be the Sunday before Valentine’s Day that Tuesday), with kick-off beginning at 5:30 p.m. For those looking to keep the party at home, here’s a guide on the best Super Bowl takeout available, and for other options, check out the city’s best takeout spots, best sports bars, chicken wings, beer bars, queso, and barbecue.

Health experts consider dining out to be a high-risk activity for the unvaccinated; it may pose a risk for the vaccinated, especially in areas with substantial COVID transmission. The latest CDC guidance is here; find a COVID-19 vaccination site here.
