While Eagles fans won’t have the joy of watching their team end another dynasty this year, it does mean that heading out into the City and enjoying the game with great food and great friends is at least going to provide a fun Sunday night. We’ve found some of the best options for those looking to go out and enjoy the game this weekend.
The heavy hitters
It all depends on the kind of night you want. If it’s a busy atmosphere you’re after, then the likes of Stateside Live, Chickie’s and Pete’s, and even McGillin’s will provide just that. Chickies and Petes is renowned for its crab fries and wide array of screens, and isn’t too far from the Stadiums/Stateside Live.
If you fancy a night at a smaller bar, you can’t go wrong with McGillin’s. As Philadelphia’s oldest tavern, it gives fans a great selection of food and drinks while providing a pub-like atmosphere, which offers a very different viewing experience to a packed out Sateside Live. That’s not to say that McGillin’s won’t be loud, it’s Philly! But it feels more like a Pub and less like a night out. It all depends on your preference, but it’s going to be impossible to have a bad experience at any of these options! You just might want to get there early to avoid any disappointment, or ring in advance to see availability and options for bigger tables etc.

In the city
Outside of McGillin’s, there are plenty of places to enjoy Super Bowl LX.
Craft Hall
Craft Hall has become a favorite for Philadelphia sports fans due to just how much it offers. A 140-square-foot and 60-square-foot media wall should ensure you always have a good spot to watch the game, while they also provide local beer and a wide selection of Super Bowl favorites, from Pizza, smash burgers, and wings, to cheesesteak egg rolls.

Located near Rittenhouse Square, Lucy’s has a stunning 16-foot LED wall and will have a resident DJ to keep the energy up between plays. The bar opens at 4 p.m., giving you plenty of time to order food before the game. With a big menu including a $40 ‘Philly platter’, this is a great spot to enjoy Super Bowl LX with friends.
