Calling all sports lovers! It is that time of year again where the chicken wings are plentiful, and the brews are ever flowing. Tradition runs deep in these mountains, and celebrating this American sports event is no exception. This weekend, one of the largest and most anticipated football games will be played, showcasing some of the best athleticism the country has to offer. If the west coast just isn’t in the cards for you, put us in coach! Gatlinburg is the perfect place to kick back and enjoy one of America’s favorite pastimes with friends and family alike. Check out these amazing local bars and restaurants airing Sunday’s Big Game:
Burg Steakhouse
Talk about dinner with a show! Enjoy a complete steak dinner at Burg Steakhouse before kicking back to watch the big game. Even with a full stomach, make sure you save room for dessert.

Chicken Guy!
Speaking of chicken, Guy Fieri’s Chicken Guy! has you covered when it comes to the classic All-American entree. With over 22 sauces to choose from, including Sweet Siracha BBQ and Nashville Hot Honey you may have more trouble picking your favorite condiment rather than your favorite team.

For a more unique experience, save the buffalo chicken dip and potato chips for another day. Enjoy El Sonador’s authentic chips and chorizo dip with friends while you enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine. If you’re feeling stressed about the score, feel free to responsibly try one of their house special daily drinks to make it to the 4th quarter.
