Super Bowl LX is a week away, and South Florida sports bars are already setting up for it. If you’re planning to watch the game in Pompano Beach rather than at home, here’s a quick rundown of where to plant yourself.
Briny Irish Pub on Atlantic Blvd. is the obvious call for anyone who wants a proper game-day atmosphere without the manufactured sports-bar energy. They’ll have the game on, the beer will be cold, and the crowd will be genuinely into it. Arrive at least 45 minutes before kickoff if you want a seat.
For the full sports-bar experience with multiple screens and a kitchen that can absorb a big crowd, the options along Sample Road and Commercial Blvd. in the broader Pompano/Deerfield area are worth considering. Several have advertised Super Bowl specials and will be taking reservations for tables.
If you want to host, the restaurants along Atlantic and the grocery stores are already stocked with the necessary ingredients. Pompano’s supermarkets tend to be well-supplied in the days before the Super Bowl — the snowbird population takes game day seriously.
The game kicks off at approximately 6:30 p.m. Eastern. Plan your parking accordingly if you’re going out — the spots fill up early on game day even in a beach town.
