Then she gives us some spots that are doing delicious takeout options if your hosting or going to a Super Bowl party.
Best View of the TV: Super Bowl Dine-In Archie Moories in New Haven Milford, Wallingford, Fairfield and Branford. Great wings, great dipping sauce and appetizers, they have the perfect bar set ups for the big game. Then there is Side Street Grill in Hamden, an awesome offbeat pub grub with a great atmosphere. Very low key and I’m sure this would be such a fun hangout spot on game day, I used to hangout here a lot in college at Quinnipiac.
My next spot, not so much an american bar scene, but nonetheless is Ludal’s in North Haven, they have more upscale italian meals, but they have a giant flat screen TV that is the entire size of their bar, so I’m sure you’ll be able to get a great view, crafted cocktail and a yummy pasta dish if that’s your vibe for the game.

In North Haven, there is also JRoos, which has a nice bar off to the side of the restaurant, plenty of room to see the game, and a great menu with sports pub favorites. And lastly, in my hometown, we have Hard Hat Cafe, which has amazing wings, a cozy bar area, and a very local atmosphere to it.
