Food Trends: Super Bowl Specials

Game day bites to dine-in or take-out – for the win

Posted

Portuguese pub-grub cuisine with gluten-free options on game day

The Atlantic Sports Bar and Restaurant is planning a Super Bowl party on eight large-screen TVs, along with an all-you-can-eat halftime buffet featuring prime rib, fresh seafood, pizza, and more. “While we’re best known for our expansive offerings of homestyle Portuguese cuisine, apps like our bone-in or boneless wings, Buffalo Chicken Dip, and of course our locally famous Cheesy Mozambique Fry Tower are the most popular game time snacks,” says Atlantic’s manager and chef Messias Dias.

The drink menu is brimming with over a dozen beers available on draft, as well as winter specials like apple cider and Cranberry Sangria, Peppermint Hot Chocolate Martinis, house-made Lavender Lemon Drops, and a rotating selection of bottled beer. The Atlantic also prioritizes the needs of those with food sensitivities. “We pride ourselves on being allergy-friendly,” adds Dias. “We have a large selection of Portuguese and pub-grub favorites that can be made gluten-free. This has made us a popular local destination for gluten intolerant and celiac members of our community.” Tiverton, Facebook: Atlantic Sports Pub

 

Hometown eats at a multi-location sports bar

With locations around the state, Thirsty Beaver is always a popular spot for sports fans. “We’ll definitely have the game on,” assures marketing and events director Fallon Davis, who also shared details on a special raffle called Super Bowl Squares. “People purchase a square, and at the end of every quarter, if the game score lands on your square, you get a prize.”

Bar specialties include the Winterberry Squeeze – Malfy lemon gin, elderflower, fresh lemon, whole cranberries, and a sugar rim – and the Jack Frost, made with Malibu rum, blue curaçao, pineapple, and coconut milk. Thirsty Beaver also offers pitcher deals on domestic draft beer, additional bar specials, and appetizers like wings, burgers, and pizza for in-house dining or take-out. “We’ll have a bunch of Biggie Mac options,” adds Davis, describing their take on the golden arches burgers, adding classic condiments to other pub staples like pizza and quesadillas.

A worthy ride to Providence for watch-party wings

The concept behind Sport & Leisure “is rooted in bringing people together to celebrate sports, music, and design” in a setting that “blends high-energy nightlife with the warm camaraderie of a neighborhood bar,” according to the venue’s creative director, Jason Cortellesso. So it’s an easy choice for folks wanting to catch the game in style. A menu of elevated comfort food includes shareable plates and modern takes on pub fare.

Super Bowl Sunday sees drink specials and a few exclusive dishes. The Tailgate Wings Trio comes with buffalo, honey-sriracha, and smoky BBQ bourbon sauces; a Loaded Nacho Platter is packed with house queso, braised short ribs, and jalapeño-lime crema; and Game Day Pretzel Bites are served with three irresistible dips. “We’re transforming the space into the ultimate viewing experience with large screens, surround sound, and themed decor,” says Cortellesso. If you’re hosting your own watch party, catering options feature snack platters and wings to you. “Whether you join us in person or order for home, we’ve got you covered for an unforgettable Super Bowl experience.” 108 North Main Street, SportAndLeisurePVD.com – Abbie Lahmers
