Sure, you can park yourself in front of your big screen at home and watch the Broncos clean the Panthers' clocks, but there's nothing quite like watching the action in the company of Bronco Nation. Here are seven spots in Denver to watch the Broncos' triumph on Sunday.
1. Diebolt Brewing
Address: 3855 Mariposa, Denver
Why Here: Beer. Did we mention the beer? In the form of $16 pitcher specials, with $1 hot dogs.
2. Elway's
Address: 1881 Curtis St, Denver
Why Here: John Elway himself might not be there for the game, but you can be for the 4-6 happy hour in the bar and lounge.
3. Highland Tap & Burger
Address: 2219 W 32rd, Denver
Why Here: Beer and burgers and TVs and an excited crowd.
4. The Oriental Theater
Address: 4335 W 44th Ave, Denver
Why Here: First come, first serve free seating in front of an enormous screen, and free shots with every touchdown.
5. Ophelia's Electric Soapbox
Address: 1215 20th St, Denver
Why Here: For one thing, the place has got character: a brothel in the olden days, now a gastropub. Besides that, it's got a 24-foot projection TV and a a $25 Super Bowl Spread.
6. Rhein Haus
Address: 1415 Market St, Denver
Why Here: German beer on tap, American football on 32 TVs around the 14k SF beer-and-brat joint. If the Broncos are winning by such a lopsided score that you lose interest, you can always play bocce.
7. Sports Column
Address: 1930 Blake St, Denver
Why Here: Sports Column is a sports bar, but not just any sports bar: It's a sports bar's sports bar, with five 100-inch TVs and a lot more.
