516 Update
January 26, 2026
 | 6:00 PM: Super Bowl Watch Party Big screens, easygoing crowd, and a low-key place to post up for kickoff. Roll in with friends, grab a seat, and make it a full game-night hang. |
 | 6:00 PM: 2026 Super Bowl Watch Party If you want the “all I have to do is show up” option: open bar, buffet, loud TVs, and a room that actually reacts to the game. |
 | 6:00 PM: Super Bowl Watch Party A “watch the game, crush burgers” plan. Expect game-day energy, big screens, and a menu that’s built for second halves. |
 | 5:30 PM: Big Game Day Open Bar & Buffet Rooftop spot, open bar, buffet, and a crowd that’s there to scream at the refs together. Good for groups who want a packaged night. |
 | 5:00 PM: Super Bowl Watch Party Classic Mulcahy’s energy: loud, packed, and unapologetically game-first. Expect big reactions on big plays and a late-night finish. |
 | 5:30 PM: Buoy Bar Big Game Watch Party Waterfront views, open bar, and a buffet that starts before kickoff. It’s the kind of place where the pre-game is half the point. |
 | 3:00 PM: Super Bowl Game Night More party than sports bar: DJs, drinks, and the game on screen while the room turns into a Sunday-night turnout. |
 | 6:00 PM: Super Bowl Watch Party Game on, drinks flowing, and a waterfront backdrop. A solid pick if your crew wants a ‘watch party’ that still feels like a night out. |
 | 6:00 PM: Super Bowl Watch Party A hidden-lounge setup for people who want football with a little swagger. Expect cocktails, screens, and a more intimate crowd than a typical sports bar. |
 | 1:00 PM: Super Bowl 60 Watch Party Old-school game day: friendly faces, a canteen that opens early, and the kind of crowd that actually knows the rules (mostly). |
 | 5:00 PM: Super Bowl Party A family-friendly watch party where you can bring the kids, grab a bite, and still yell at the TV without side-eye. |
 | 6:00 PM: The Big Game, Italian Style Italian feast meets football: giant LED wall, surround sound, and a ‘stay for the whole thing’ kind of setup. Come hungry. |
 | 6:30 PM: Super Bowl Watch Party Pull up for the game, stay for the specials. Happy hour is the warm-up: wings, apps, and drinks priced to keep the table ordering all night. |
 | 6:00 PM: Baddie Bowl Super Bowl Watch Party If your crew can’t sit still for four quarters: bowling lanes, party energy, and the game on screens. This is more ‘Super Bowl night out’ than ‘quiet watch.’ |
 | 6:30 PM: Super Bowl LX Watch Party A straight-up sports bar watch: specials, screens everywhere, and the kind of room where strangers high-five after a pick-six. |
 | 6:00 PM: Youth Group Super Bowl Party More wholesome than rowdy: snacks, friends, and a ‘watch together’ vibe. Great if you’re looking for a calmer, community-centered night. |
 | 6:00 PM: LIU Eats Super Bowl Watch Party Campus watch party energy: free food, a built-in crowd, and the easiest ‘show up and watch’ plan if you’re near Post. |
 | Adelphi University Super Bowl WatchParty A relaxed, student-friendly watch party: grab food, claim a couch, and let the game do the bonding. Good if you want social without the bar chaos. |
