Not wanting to host a watch-party? Don’t have cable? We’ve got you covered. From dive bars to brunch spots, here is a quick guide to Super Bowl viewing in East Austin—where you don’t have to travel far to get your fill of entertainment.
1. Haymaker
Haymaker’s Sunday specials couldn’t get any better. $2 off all pitchers, $2 mimosas, $3 bloody marys, $3 Red Sangria, and $3 White Sangria. While Haymaker’s spread includes your typical bar food like wings and beer cheese, their side of mac ’n’ cheese, topped with garlic bread crumbs and bacon, will leave you wanting more. If you’re looking for the best place for beer on-tap, Haymaker is it.

2. Revelry Bar + Kitchen
Join Revelry for an evening of reduced-price Bud Light and Tito’s from 6pm-11pm. If you haven’t had their wings, they are the perfect addition to your viewing experience. Or, if you want to stake-out early, Revelry’s Sunday Brunch is served from 11am-4pm, featuring $5 bloody marys, $3 mimosas, $10 mimosa carafes, and their take on chicken and waffles, topped with bacon-sriracha maple syrup and garlic-herb butter. Tito’s will be in house matching all sales to raise money for Austin Animal Center, so come out to support!

5. B.D. Riley’s Irish Pub
Eagles fans beware. If you are a proud Pats fan, there is no better place for you this Super Bowl Sunday than B.D. Riley’s. You’re in for an all-day affair if you head to the East 6th Street location—get there before 1pm or risk not getting in! If staking out isn’t your thing, try the Aldrich St. location in Mueller for a little more space.
