Draft Atlanta Restaurants into Play for Your Super Bowl LII Viewing and Chewing Team Feb. 4
What’s your Super Bowl LII game table and viewing plan for the big game on Sunday, Feb. 4? Home viewing flanked by catering or carry-out? Perhaps you’re envisioning one of Atlanta’s FAN-tastic restaurants as your game-day end zone for big screens, big cheers and a full roster of beers? Decide like the pros: hold a coin toss and honor the call. Unlike the gridiron showdown where either the Philadelphia Eagles or the New England Patriots will get rings and Super Bowl LII glory, this is a win-win situation.

Restaurant In-House Viewing Specials
We can already hear football fans cheering for chili at HOBNOB Neighborhood Tavern. During the game, both the Brookhaven and Midtown locations will run an $8 chili special and serve a pileup of chili fries for $9.50.
Hone in on great game views, those renowned wings and beers from a seemingly gridiron-long list at all Taco Mac locations. No matter which team you root for, you can still be on the Brewniversity team -- a champion choice for beer aficionados.
