Rihanna’s concert — we mean Super Bowl LVII — is this Sunday, Feb. 12 and we’re ready to watch the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs (hey, KCtoday 👋) battle it out for the trophy. Plan ahead with these local food, drink, and watch party recommendations.
Huddle up for these watch parties
- The Big Game Watch Party at Bear’s Smokehouse BBQ kicks off at 6:30 p.m., with $6 margaritas and mules, $4 hard seltzers, and $1 off craft beer drafts all day. There will also be wings and rib specials for the game.
- DSSOLVR is breaking out its super 150-inch projector, plus a fleet of brand-new TVs, for this year’s game. Bonus: Master BBQ will also be there serving up Filipino eats (think: meat skewers and more) to pair with ice cold beer.
- Bring your favorite dip to share at Lookout Brewing’s watch party in Black Mountain.
- Asheville Pizza & Brewing Co. is hosting a free watch party at its 675 Merrimon Ave. location — just be sure to stop by and snag a wrist band in advance.
