The Best Bars In Each State To Watch Super Bowl 2023
The Super Bowl is a national holiday for football fans across the U.S. who gather to cheer on their favorite team, eat delicious food, and have a few drinks at a bar or a party. Super Bowl Sunday is most often associated with cold beer and chicken wings, but it's almost a holiday for us foodies, too. It's a day of the year to look forward to eating fried appetizers and Crock-Pot dips until you're ready for a nap during halftime.
If your Super Bowl plans don't include a party, there are hundreds of bars across the U.S. with TVs on high and plenty of beer on tap. Some bars and restaurants host Super Bowl parties to make the day even more special. We decided to round up the best bar in every state in the U.S. for Super Bowl viewing.
