When it comes to the Super Bowl you have three options for taking in the Big Game:
1) Go to a friend’s house – this could be greatness or it could really suck!
2) Throw your own watch party – which means you have to do all the prep work and once everyone leaves after destroying your pad you’re stuck with clean up duty. File this under…really sucks!
3) Go to one of these awesome venues and let them do all the dirty work.
I did the research so you can go with Option 3…and these are in no particular order of preference. They’re all great. ‘Nuff said!
