This is it. It’s down to one game. Super Bowl LI takes place on Sunday, February 5th. So where are you going to watch the Falcons take on the Patriots?
Even if you really like your couch, the beery, brunch-y camaraderie of a pub full of roaring fans adds an undeniable thrill. Pub viewing also gives you the chance to debate the merits of Super Bowl commercials with a stranger.
Here are three places to watch Super Bowl LI in Kitsilano. Tell us where you’re going to watch by commenting below!
