On Sunday, February 9th, Super Bowl LIX will air on TV screens around the globe as the Kansas City Chiefs return to the field to go up against the Philadelphia Eagles again. Or as some people call it, Taylor Swift’s second season.

Whether or not the Eagles will avenge the Super Bowl 57 loss is yet to be seen. Luckily, while you wait there’s plenty to nosh and time to take in a round of mini golf or watch Puppy Bowl XXI. That’s why many of the Denver-area bars airing the big game have other activities to offer at the same time. After all, if you’re into the Super Bowl for the snacks, commercials, and half-time show, you might as well have fun in between.

Team Bars

For Eagles Fans

For those who want to be in the company of fellow bird-watchers, East Fax Tap is the Eagles bar in town. A cozy dive on East Colfax covered in stone siding, East Fax has a dog-friendly fenced-in back patio, a long bar with plenty of seating, plus shuffleboard, board games, and card games. Happy hour runs from to 8 p.m. and features drink deals and specialty shots. 8001 E. Colfax, Denver, no website

For Chiefs Fans

The home for Chiefs fans in Denver is a historic 6th Avenue dive that’s been around since the 1940s. Recognizable by its snazzy neon signage, Don’s Club Tavern has a menu of game day drink specials including a $6 Bloody Mary bar and Jell-O shots. The gang of fans there even started its own dedicated Facebook page. During the game, patrons can also play pool, Skee-Ball, and foosball. 723 E. 6th Ave., Denver, donsclubtavern.com

Golf Between Plays

Holey Moley 

Downtown’s themed miniature golf bar offers game day specials along with a watch party and retro-style mini-golf. Order the dizzying 80-ounce beer tower for just $20. Add on two pounds of wings for $20 more. Or, get two pizzas and a beer tower for $45. Let your friends watch the Super Bowl while you snack away, sneaking that golf ball into the hole when they aren’t looking. 1201 18th St., Denver, holeymoley.com

Puttshack 

Classic mini-golf and technology unite at RiNo’s upscale restaurant and game venue. Inside you’ll find four different nine-hole courses built for people of all ages. But, unlike a regular miniature golf course, this one uses a digital ball to keep score. 

Play the game in between catching the Super Bowl on one of the many large screen televisions situated around the bar. Elevated bar snacks such as crab or Buffalo chicken dips, meat skewers, flatbreads, hearty salads, and more can be had. As for drinks, expect the usual line up of beers, fancy cocktails, and a really good Espresso Martini to help wake you up if the game proves dull. Pro move, get it with tequila instead of vodka. 2813 Blake St., Denver, puttshack.com

Non-Football Games Galore

Pindustry 

This Greenwood Village entertainment hub offers pinball, ping pong, bowling, foosball, darts, arcade games, shuffleboard, corn hole, and ice skating. There’s so much to do there, you don’t even have to watch the Super Bowl to have a good time.

Of course, the venue is also hosting a watch party, streaming the game on the 16-foot screen. Seating at the free event is first-come, first-served, though for parties over six you can reserve for a fee. At $144 for six people and $192 for eight, you not only get a saved place to perch, but a bucket of beer, pizza, and wings. Other than that, order classic bar food such as burgers, sandwiches, and shareable bites like nachos and giant pretzels. 7939 E. Arapahoe Rd., Greenwood Village, pindustry.com

The Perfect Team

In a non-competitive teaming up, head to LoDo and the Bavarian-inspired Rhein Haus and the adjacent Midwest-themed Wally’s Wisconsin Tavern. The two reside next door to each other, and  both serve perfect game day food. While both places, owned by the same company, offer the usual menu, for the Super Bowl you can get a $26 playoff platter featuring half-traditional and half-boneless wings served with sauces, french fries, fried pickles, celery, and carrots. Beverage specials include discounted beer pitchers, as well as shots and cocktail specials. 1415 iMarket St., Denver, rheinhausdenver.com; and 1417 Market St., Denver, wallyswisconsin.com

McGregor Square 

The place to be is on the second floor of Milepost Zero’s heated terrace, which overlooks the plaza below. You won’t miss a move on a 66-foot LED screen. Guests are given a free welcome beer and an all-you-can-eat pizza party from Anthony’s Pizza & Pasta. When you’re full and bored of balls flying, take a walk around the square and check out some of the cute shops. Advance ticket purchase is required, and it’s 21+. Get tickets here. 1901 Wazee St., Denver, mcgregorsquare.com
