With over 70 TVs and 40 beers on tap, Fifth Avenue’s 200 Fifth is like the Disneyland of sports bars. But if you plan on actually grabbing a seat for the game, best get there early — this place fills up quick.

Seventh Avenue’s Old Carriage Inn is a classic sports bar, but won’t be nearly as packed as 200 Fifth. Grab a seat at the bar and hunker down to watch the Steelers take on the Packers with a $3 Bud Light or $3 Miller High Life. Of course, for the beer nerds, there’s local brews like Kelso and Blue Point on tap, too.

Head to Gowanus for what just might be the area's coolesed Super Bowl party. Come Suday, Littlefield Art Space hosts a complete with pre-game tailgating, great drink specials, a live performance by ADM and music provided by DJ Incrediboi and PNC Radio.

Dram Shop is the perfect place to watch the game if you’re dragging along friends who aren’t exactly football fanatics — a host of board games, pool and shuffle board will keep them from asking you to explain the rules every second. For the games this weekend, the Ninth Street bar will serve up $3 Miller High Life’s, plus the usual weekend happy hour from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Only in Park Slope does there exist such a thing as a “family-friendly” bar to watch the game. If you’re watching the game with the kids, head to Park Slope Ale House, where there are 20-plus draft beers and big-screen TVs for the grownups, and burgers and crayons for the kids.
