If you’re like me, you were surprised to hear that [TEAM ANIMAL NAME 1] is playing [TEAM ANIMAL NAME 2] in the Super Bowl this year. I always thought a super bowl was filled with Lucky Charms! Anyway, if you’re looking for a place to watch the game, here are a few ideas:

Alamo Drafthouse | Downtown

Watch the game on the big screen – the Drafthouse is showing the Super Bowl for free, but you’ve gotta either get there early or buy a $5 food and drink voucher to guarantee a seat.

512-Go!» Alamo Drafthouse at the Ritz
409 Colorado St. • 476-1320

Plucker’s | West Campus

Plucker’s has enough TVs and overpriced food to keep you entertained through at least the second inning.

Plucker’s
2222 Rio Grande • Austin, TX 78705

Freddie’s Place | South 1st Street

Freddie’s backyard patio is another good bet. Just grab a seat that isn’t directly under that tree full of birds.

512-Go!» Freddie’s Place
1703 S 1st St • Austin, TX 78704

The Yellow Rose | Lamar

Hey man, did you come here to watch the chicks or the game? Both at once? Right on, brother – you are the man, my dude! I am very lonely.

The Yellow Rose
6528 N Lamar Blvd • Austin, TX 78752

Your place | Comfy

Beer? Check. Chips and salsa? Check, check. Good call. Can I come over? Text me!

Cool. Well, if I missed anything, just Skype my Yahoo! Gmail account. Or meet me in Second Life. I’ll be hanging out in Amsterdam 2.0. L8r, yo.
