Whether you’re passionate about the big game or just there to see Usher’s performance, there are two essentials you need: snacks and a big screen. We know where to find both so you can have a ball during Super Bowl LVIII in Asheville.

Get the party started

Super Bowl Viewing Party | Asheville Pizza & Brewing Co., 675 Merrimon Ave. | 5 p.m. | Free | Watch the game on the big screen in theater two — admission is free, but you’ll need to pick up a wristband to reserve your seat.

Big Game Party | DSSOLVR, 3 N. Lexington Ave. | 6 p.m. | Free | The game will be shown on a 65-inch TV and a 150-inch projector screen so you won’t miss a thing — plus, the brewery is partnering with Rebel Burger to get hot + fresh food delivered straight to you.

Super Bowl Watch Party | The Grey Eagle, 185 Clingman Ave. | 6 p.m. | Free | Grey Eagle Taqueria will be serving up meals inspired by each team, with Kansas City barbecue ribs and San Francisco clam chowder on the menu.

Super Bowl Watch Party | The River Arts District Brewing Company, 13 Mystery St. | 6:30 p.m. | Free | RAD Brewing is providing the beer and Smokee’s is providing the pizza + wings — but if football isn’t your thing, the brewery is also showing Discovery’s Puppy Bowl at 2 p.m., where Team Ruff and Team Fluff will face off.

Make a game plan for grub

If you’re hosting your own party, Bear’s Smokehouse’s Game Day Grub package can feed your hungry guests with a dozen smoked wings, a rack of ribs, a pound of pulled chicken or pork, rolls, and three sides.

Farm Burger will be slinging a specialty burger for each team: the Kansas City Swiftie and the California Dreaming.

Everyone’s a winner when beer cheese dip is involved. Luella’s Bar-B-Que is offering the Touchdown Party Pack with 25 smoked wings, a rack of ribs, brisket chili, cornbread, sweet chips, and of course, Beer City cheese dip.
