Let’s see, is anything going down on Sunday? Duh! We all
know the Super Bowl (Sunday, February 3rd, 6:30 p.m. EST on CBS) is the most
anticipated Sunday of the year for not only sports fans, but for the folks who love
to see what commercials are coming out, the food available, libations…you name it! Well in case you want to hit the streets instead
of a house party, your homey Ale is providing Atlanta’s Ultimate Super Bowl Restaurant Guide. From grubbing to
fun contests, great grub deals, huge televisions, and refreshing sippin’ specials, here
is a list of spots that you should
consider during hitting up for the Super Bowl in the A! Keep in mind that I
only wrote this intro, so the following words are coming straight from the
source. Cheers!

Taqueria and Coldbrews Sports Bar and Grill

They say: Join
us on Sunday, February 3rd for kick-off and get front row seats to the game at

screen TVs to showcase the days in-demand games, there’s not a bad seat in the
house.

Gumbo, and more!
