The Super Bowl is an exciting time for marketing buffs, fans of carb-and-protein-laden pub food and, if you care about football, the fanbases for exactly two NFL teams. Though usually now is the time to show off that comically massive Black Friday TV, thousands of Angelenos without impressive screens or an inclination to cook and clean will flock to bars and restaurants in the Greater Los Angeles area to catch what's quickly becoming not only the biggest NFL game of the year, but practically a national holiday.

So whether you’re ordering catering for a big game bash or want to spend it without the hassle at a restaurant or bar, here are 16 places to ensure that good food and drink can be had for the Super Bowl — even if you’re spending it like members of your favorite team and, in all likelihood, watching it on TV.

The Doughroom

The Italian-themed gastropub serves up affordably priced personal pizzas and pasta in addition to artisanal wines and craft beers.

Islands Restaurant

The Carlsbad-based chain is serving up $2.95 Coors Light and discounted sliders and nachos for the big game. Say what you will about the place being a chain, but don’t even pretend you don’t like their Kona Pie and french fries.

Wirtshaus

Wirsthaus is offering a Super Bowl edition of its popular Kegs and Eggs (and Sausage) Brunch. For a fixed price diners can have eggs prepared to order, a choice of one of Wirsthaus’s sausages, fried potatoes and all-you-can-drink draft beer, which means it’s probably the manliest way to take in the game outside of actually playing in it.
