Bowl-ing

Five Crazy Places to Watch the Super Bowl

Sure, you could follow the herd to a sports bar this weekend. Or you could head to one of these unexpected places, where you’ll find plenty of TVs, snacks and, in some cases, strippers.

Backlot Bar
THE BIG SCREEN

Backlot Bar

Inside the cushy confines of the Paragon Grove, you’ll be able to watch XLV on a 25-foot screen. (And you thought B.J. Raji seemed big on your 50-inch plasma.) Forty bucks gets you two drinks and unlimited upscale comfort food like Prosciutto Flatbreads and Kobe Sliders.

Buffet 6-9pm, $40, Backlot Bar, 3015 Grand Ave, 3rd Floor, 305-446-6843

Wine Depot
THE WINE BAR

Wine Depot

We won’t say this is where your girlfriend would like to watch the game, but we won’t deny it either. Instead of wings and beer, think foie gras and pinots in this cavernous shop/lounge, where you can see Roethlisberger and Rodgers shoot it out via a 10-foot projector and $10 bottles of house reds.

6pm-midnight, Wine Depot, 555 Jefferson Ave, 305-672-6161

Smoke’t
THE BARBECUE JOINT

Smoke’t

If barbecue and unlimited beer sounds good to you, consider Smoke’t. They’ll have 10 flat-screens tuned to Packers-Steelers, $5 pulled pork and sloppy joe sandwiches, and all-you-can-drink light beer for $20. Which, coupled with a Green Bay win, is like Cheesehead heaven.

8am-11pm, Smoke’t, 1450 S Dixie Hwy, 305-669-8338

Catering by Sol Kitchen
THE HOME BASE

Catering by Sol Kitchen

Problem: you’re entertaining friends at your place, and you want something a little nicer than a Costco platter. Solution: home delivery by Sol Kitchen, run by two chefs from the Trump resort. They’ll drop off a four-course feast, including shrimp rolls, smoked mahi tacos and wings marinated in pastrami brine.

Taking orders now till Feb 5 at 5pm, $150 for six, email here to order

King of Diamonds
THE STRIP CLUB

King of Diamonds

Or you could always take in the action from the same place where Diddy watched the game last year. Spread out with your crew in one of 14 skyboxes equipped with flat-screens, or at a table near the main stage, where no fewer than 70 dancers will provide additional super-ness.

6pm-8am, King of Diamonds, 17800 NE 5th Ave, 305-999-9500
