Rihanna’s concert — we mean Super Bowl LVII — is this Sunday, Feb. 12 and we’re ready to watch the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs (hey, KCtoday 👋) battle it out for the trophy. Plan ahead with these local food, drink, and watch party recommendations.

Huddle up for these watch parties

The Big Game Watch Party at Bear's Smokehouse BBQ kicks off at 6:30 p.m., with $6 margaritas and mules, $4 hard seltzers, and $1 off craft beer drafts all day. There will also be wings and rib specials for the game.
DSSOLVR is breaking out its super 150-inch projector, plus a fleet of brand-new TVs, for this year's game. Bonus: Master BBQ will also be there serving up Filipino eats (think: meat skewers and more) to pair with ice cold beer.
Bring your favorite dip to share at Lookout Brewing's watch party in Black Mountain.
Asheville Pizza & Brewing Co. is hosting a free watch party at its 675 Merrimon Ave. location — just be sure to stop by and snag a wrist band in advance.
Head over to Highland Brewing Co. for pitcher specials and bingo from 6:30-10:30 p.m.

Special food deals

Buxton Hall Barbecue is taking orders for wings, baby back ribs, pulled pork, pimento cheese, buffalo chicken dip — and even a whole smoked turducken. Place your order today, Feb. 10 by 12 p.m. for a game-day pickup.

Okay, technically this is the day before the Super Bowl — but we still recommend stopping by S&W Market for a plate of Chef Santiago Vargas' award-winning wings, available at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 11 until sold out.
