If you’re watching Super Bowl LIX from anywhere but your couch, things can get expensive. The Chiefs are a hot ticket, and public Super Bowl watch parties can cost upwards of $100 before you even buy your first drink. But worry not, Kansas Citians—the following venues are hosting free Super Bowl parties.
Note: The Vine Street Brewing Co. watch party, originally number seven on this list, was cancelled.
1. Casual Animal Brewing Co.
On Super Bowl Sunday, Casual Animal Brewing Co. is open from noon until the final whistle, and it’ll air the game on its 17-foot screen. Seating is first come, first served. Drink options are in the dozens, and Cerburus KC will provide the food.
2. Chicken N Pickle
If you want to get some sports in, Chicken N Pickle (in both North Kansas City and Overland Park) are hosting Super Bowl parties with no cover fee. The game will air on over 30 TV screens, and at the Overland Park location, there’s $5 pickleball play from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.Â
3. Cinder Block Brewery
Here’s another first come, first served watch party. North KC’s Cinder Block Brewery is serving Chiefs-themed cocktails and $5 pints of its Il Padrone pilsner—a good luck charm, they say—all day. F325 BBQ will be on the grill.
4. River Bluff Brewing at River Market
River Bluff Brewing at River Market is serving up to $5 pints of Arrowhead Red during the game and keeping the taproom open all the while. Seating is first come, first served, and you can bring in outside food.
5. Screenland Armour
For something rowdy and comfy, head to Screenland Armour in North Kansas City at least an hour before game time. If you’re one of the first 215 people in line, you’ll get to watch the game in the movie theater. You’ll also have access to the on-site bar and concession stand.
6. Strange Days Brewing Co.
Strange Days Brewing Co. will be selling Benessee Cream Ales and Chella Mexican Lagers for $5 all day, and for every full pour, you’ll get a raffle ticket for drawings at halftime and the final two-minute warning. Burn Theory Fire Kitchen will be on hand serving up plates of six wings and fries for $10 while supplies last.
7. Westport Bars
If you’re particular about the vibes on Super Bowl Sunday, four interconnected bars in Westport allow you to pick and choose. Bar & Rec, The Patio, The Landing, and The Jungalow will all be playing the game, and you can move freely about without a cover charge. Over 50 TVs, over 100 tables, four different vibes, and $6 double wells across the board.
