Let’s Bowl
Non-Sports Bars for the Super Bowl

This just in: sports bars will be playing the Super Bowl on Sunday. But you can also catch the game on the beach, in futuristic little wine bars or in a yard with a white picket fence.

ON THE BEACH

Burgers and Pitchers at Gladstones

Gladstones will have $5 shots and $10 pitchers from noon to 3pm, then the game comes on the TVs littered about the dining room. And if you want to go retro, just listen to it on the radios outside. The ocean breeze remains free.

411:: Gladstones Malibu, 17300 Pacific Coast Hwy, 310-454-3474

ALMOST ON THE BEACH

$5 Wine at Pourtal

If you generally take in your football at shiny little wine bars, stop into Pourtal. They’ve got four screens, $5 beer and wine for the duration of the game, and probably nobody in face paint.

411:: Pourtal, 104 Santa Monica Blvd, Santa Monica, 310-393-7693

MINA STREETS

Endless BBQ at XIV

When you think Super Bowl, you think Michael Mina cuisine. Okay, no, you don’t. But if you drop $30 to catch the game at XIV, you’ll get all the wings, burgers, pulled pork sandwiches and barbecue chicken you can eat. Oh, and they’re hauling out a 10-by-15-foot screen.

411:: XIV, 8117 Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, 323-656-1414

SHAKE IT OFF

Grilled-Cheese Burgers and Spiked Shakes

If all you and your friends want is no fuss, a screen over the bar and a burger with grilled-cheese sandwiches for buns, the game will be on at GO Burger, with plenty of spiked shakes for everybody.

411:: GO Burger, 6290 Sunset Blvd, Hollywood, 323-327-9355

PICKET FENCES

Free Burgers at the Victorian

Outside the quaint old Victorian, TVs will line the white picket fences, and there’ll be plenty of free hot dogs, burgers and slaw on the front porch. Then, after the game, head downstairs to the Basement Tavern, where you’ll find $5 whiskey shots all night.

411:: The Victorian, 2640 Main St, Santa Monica, 310-392-4956
