Patriots fans, the bar that's known colloquially by your kind as the "Boston Embassy" of the West Coast is Sonny McLean's in Santa Monica. Gush over Tom Brady's ageless arm and Chris Hogan's improbable rise to prominence with your fellow Pats fans while downing some fried clams and brews.

The Atlanta Falcons Fans of Los Angeles are hosting a party at On the Thirty in Sherman Oaks, so those of you who want to Rise Up (and drive up) to the Valley to join your Dirty Bird brethren will be in good hands at this ritzy Sherman Oaks purveyor of popular pizzas, cheese plates, and oysters.

With board games, a pool table, a solid cocktail program, and interesting bites (not to mention a four-panel flat screen TV), The Nickel Mine is the Westside's premiere sports bar. It's pretty much a given that the local favorite will be packed on Super Bowl Sunday, so be sure to call ahead for details.

Arts District Brewing has pretty much everything you'd need if you're dragging out a friend who doesn't care about football to a Super Bowl viewing party: Excellent tap selection, skee-ball, a ping pong table, and for this year's Super Bowl, they're filling out a squares board for the game with prizes at the end of every quarter. Also: Dat Fritzi burger doe.

The Ayara Luk pop-up has been in operation for a hot minute, and they've been experimenting the application of Thai flavors to some of LA's favorite dishes (Ceviche Tailandia, anyone?). They're also hosting a viewing party, and it sounds low-key glorious. Fans of the Muay Thai Wings can pony up $60 for a presale ticket to watch the big game on a 100" screen. The ticket includes all-you-can-eat Spicy Thai Lobster Rolls, Muay Thai Wings and flatbread, among other dishes. It also includes... oh, dear... all-you-can-safely drink Singha beer. Tickets at the door will be $75 — if they're not sold out by then.

If you're thinking of "food for a football game," one's attention defaults to barbecue, and if you're in Downtown, Horse Thief's patio/beer garden is hosting a viewing party. The specials include $8 Santa Maria-style tri-tip sandwiches and the debut of a new Queso Dip. The party starts at 10 a.m., and you know how the saying goes — you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.

Pasadena's Dog Haus Biergarten is a favorite of locals to catch sports in general, and conventional wisdom says the gourmet hot-dog-and-burger purveyor with the monster taplist is going to be quite lit on Super Bowl Sunday — due in no small part to their proliferation of big-screen TV's and choice grub.

Though it's definitely more famous for being a Dodgers bar, it's practically a foregone conclusion now that Greyhound has some of the best wings in Los Angeles, and great wings are thankfully sport agnostic. When you're allowed to sell them by a vague unit like "by the pound" because, well, it's Greyhound and you're going to have to deal with it, it means the wings are pretty awesome. Don't discount the great drinks, either.

It's probably going to be hard to grab a seat at Rock & Reilly's so you can get your hands on some of those great Irish nachos (what a cheese sauce!), but if you're here to grab a drink and celebrate America's unofficial holiday you probably already know Rock & Reilly's is a good place to do that.

As sports bars in the South Bay go, 2nd Half is as full of things to do as you could possibly ask for. Pool tables, air hockey, foosball, shuffleboard, ping pong, and TV's galore guarantee that you're never really out of things to do if you don't want to be reminded that your team isn't in the Super Bowl.

If you're out in Canoga Park, this cozy sports bar not only stocks some local Valley brews, it's got some tacos to go with your usual chicken wings and 12 flat screen TV's.

Koreatown's favorite gastropub will be poppin' this year, with their always-stellar tap selection and, of course, the short rib poutine. Be sure to call ahead to find out if there's still room.

Haché LA has always had a solid burger, but for Super Bowl Sunday it's also doing a couple riffs on their fantastic triple-fried french fries in the form of "Super Bowl Secret Fries": the Patriots fries are made with gruyere, caramelized onions, mustard and mayonnaise in case you're into the whole o.g. Belgian frites thing, and the Falcon Fries come with 4-chile mix, garlic mayo and queso fresco.

For the ritziest Super Bowl viewing party you'll go to outside of someone's house, Bouchon is offering up that famous Ad Hoc fried chicken to-go and hosting a game viewing at the 2nd floor bar during Happy Hour.

The Sherman Oaks institution is putting out a special game-day menu of potato skins stuffed with sausage and peppers (!!!), a French Onion burger and wings by the pound alongside their sizable selection of craft beers on tap (and by the bottle). If you're out in the Valley, well, you probably already know this is going to be a prime venue for a watch party.
