Darren Edwards

Nickies Bar

Copy Link

Nickies is home to Broncos' fans on Sundays, and this Sunday will be no different. Expect crowds of Denver fans to fill this Lower Haight dive up, all of whom will be clamoring for a seat near one of the 13 TVs. No reservations are being taken for Super Bowl Sunday, so get there early.

San Francisco Athletic Club

Copy Link

Seven TVs, 10 beers on tap, $6 well drinks and tons of seating make the Pub at Ghirardelli a winning spot to watch the game.

Greens Sports Bar

Copy Link

Greens will be packed to the brim with Panthers' fans on Super Bowl Sunday, so you may want to stay far away if you'll be wearing orange and blue. This classic sports bar has 20 TVs, buckets of beer for $18 and will likely be standing room only by kickoff.

This cozy Polk Street bar has 12 TVs and will be offering $4 Bud Lights and $1 off anything on the cocktail menu during the Big Game.

You have to pay $5 to get in, but that gets you free barbecue and an 100" HD screen with killer sound on which to watch the game.

The Barrel Room

Copy Link

Barrel Room is opening on a Sunday for the first time ever. There will be a projector and a 65" flat screen, but the best news is that happy hour starts at noon and goes all day.

This SOMA sports bar has 22 (!) TVs, pretty decent pub food, and is big enough that if you get there even just right before kickoff, you still may find a seat.

Public House

Copy Link

Public House is all about the communal tables, 24 beers on tap, full bar and good food. Oh, and there are a whopping 26 TVs, so there's not a bad seat in the house.
