Places to watch all the bowl games

College football isn't over yet, but you may be wondering where you should go to watch all the bowl games. Here are some places I like to go to watch the game, enjoy some food and have some drinks while cheering on my team to victory.

All six Atlanta-area Marlow's Tavern locations are ready for you to settle in among friends for some awesome bowl game viewing on the big screens strategically placed in dining and bar areas. Once you're warmed up, enjoy some Big Bar Sandwiches: "infamous" fish tacos, buffalo chicken wrap and a prime rib French dip. Frosty brews, chilly cocktails, relaxing wines and crisp salads will help you keep your cool even when field action gets tense. Little football fans will cheer to see a kids' menu that leaves the typical fare in the locker room. (Alpharetta at 3719 Old Alabama Road, 770-475-1800; Kennesaw at 745 Chastain Road, NW, 770-425-8777; Midtown at 950 West Peachtree Street, 404-815-0323; Vinings at 2355 Cumberland Parkway, 770-432-2526; Northlake at 4156 LaVista Road, 678-987-1197; and Duluth at 1950 Satellite Boulevard, 770-622-2033.)

On New Year's Day, good old American football fills the screens on both levels of Uncle Julio's Fine Mexican Food in Dunwoody. Atlanta's second and newest Uncle Julio's was built with fans in mind...fans hungry for good views and filling authentic border-style dishes. The spacious, two-story cantina has bar areas and patios on both levels. Boost team "spirits" with Uncle Julio's famous margaritas such as the good uncle's "The Swirl" signature margarita. If the action's at your house or the clubhouse, Uncle Julio's has your back with full catering for 30 or more, catering express for 20 or more, party-packs for three - 20 guests or order from the full menu and get it to go. (1140 Hammond Drive, NE, Building K, Suite 100 in Sandy Springs; 678-736-8260. To-go line: 404-974-2991.)

Ormsby's has opened its doors in the White Provision complex on Atlanta's Westside, just in time to welcome football fans in for big-screen views, all-American tavern fare, spirited cocktails, wine, and a long list of unusual drafts and bottled beer. Try a bottle of Victory - Storm King for good luck or a Stone Ruination to dominate the field. Team jerseys are okay. Ormsby's is all about coming casual and coming often. Sit down and order up some Georgia peanuts, Cajun-spiced popcorn or house-made pickles. More substantial eats include meal-maker salads, a menu of bangers, links and wieners. During halftime, challenge your friends to a round of bocce, backgammon, pool, shuffleboard or darts. There's ample parking in the White Provision complex deck. (1170 Howell Mill Road, NW; 404-968-2033.)
In the Vinings neighborhood, South City Kitchen Vinings is the place to go for a new take on Southern classics. Grab a seat in the bar area for prime sports viewing and choose your potion from the wide selection of thirst-quenching libations. South City Kitchen Vinings is where you'll find fried green tomatoes, low and slow smoked pork BBQ, Maryland crab cakes, chilled Lowcountry pickled shrimp and butterbean "hummus" with toasted corn crackers. (1675 Cumberland Parkway; 770-435-0700.)
