Where to Watch the Big Game

Super Bowl Sunday has become one of the nation’s unofficial holidays. While the game is great, for many people, the experience is always better when shared with others. And Long Beach restaurants, bars and sports bars offer many ways to do that, from great wings to bottle service, massive screens to buckets of beer. Check out some ways you can huddle up for the Big Game.

WATCH ME! SPORTS BAR

Located in the Marketplace, Watch Me! Sports Bar (6527 E Pacific Coast Hwy) offers an elevated gastro pub experience and is taking it up another notch with New Orleans-inspired food and drink specials for Super Bowl Sunday. There’s also going to be a DJ pregame jam, raffles and plenty of great packages including reserved lounge seating and bottle service.

QUEEN MARY

Looking for a unique viewing experience? How about watching the game aboard the iconic Queen Mary (1126 Queens Hwy), which will be showing the action on giant screens. Entry fee for the watch party is $10 and the fun starts at 3PM. There will also be great food and drinks sold separately and plenty of space for you, your friends and family to stretch out and cheer–or boo (you do you).

SHANNON’S CORNER

Shannon’s Corner has four ways for you to enjoy the game: The Carvery (201 Pine Ave) serves a pregame brunch from 11AM to 3PM, including Kauai French Toast and Steak and Eggs. Happy hour specials include $3 off cocktails, $2 off beer and wine. Watch the game at Shannon's Sports Pub (209 Pine Ave) with beer bucket specials and game day food menu. Upstairs at Shannon’s At The Top (105 W Broadway) you’ll enjoy stadium lounge seating, drink and beer bucket specials along with a BBQ buffet. For a more laid-back vibe, Secret Island Tiki Bar (209 Pine Ave) offers happy hour specials on tiki cocktails all day from 2 to 10PM. Also, experience Pele’s thunder striking with every touchdown in this subterranean paradise.

AULD DUBLINER

Watch America’s Big Game in Long Beach’s authentic Irish pub and restaurant, The Auld Dubliner (71 S. Pine Ave.), where you can take in the action with numerous TVs with terrific surround sound, while enjoying great food and drink specials. You might even have some interesting discussions on the similarities and differences between American football and rugby.

LEGENDS SPORTS BAR

Of course, Legends (5236 E. Second St.)–America’s first sports bar–will again be hosting a Super Bowl viewing on its numerous TVs and massive projection screen, which takes up the entirety of one wall. There’s also 100 food items including its, well, legendary wings that range from original buffalo to Thai sweet chili to habanero.

SHENANIGANS IRISH PUB & GRILLE

Don’t miss a single second of action as you watch the game on one of Shenanigans’ (423 Shoreline Village Dr., Suite A) 14 TVs, while also enjoying some of the best views of the Long Beach waterfront. There are plenty of pints and plates to go around, including ones with Irish flare like the Corned Beef Burger and Irish Nachos.

DAVE & BUSTERS

Inside a 41,000-square-foot space at Long Beach Towne Center (7575 Carson St), Dave & Busters not only features 180 games of all descriptions and tech levels–everything from old school skeeball to virtual reality–but lots of food and drink options as well as a spectacular 40-foot-wide, ultra-high-definition LED screen to watch the game.
