Best Places to Watch the Super Bowl in Texas

Austin

Pluckers Wing Bar

Mohawk

Everyone one who’s cool loves Mohawk, and they know what to offer to your nerdy friends: a popcorn bar and some game-day bingo, because bingo is always fun no matter what. Plus, the bar will of course have enough cold beer on hand to ensure that your friends just end up getting drunk and taking selfies with that bear.

Dallas

If you don’t want to leave your pup, you can bring him along too, since this is one of the city’s few pet-friendly bars.

The Skellig

A huge, O-shaped bar graces the center of the joint, as well as a sprawling heated patio Sister restaurant to Old Monk and Idle Rich, their pub-style menu is loaded up with the good stuff: fried chicken and biscuits, a “beer companion” (comes with jalapeño cheese brats, salami, cheese, pretzel bread, mustard and piccalilli), and, of course, fish and chips. The Double Stack burger is a lovable fast food homage.
