Are you ready for some football???!

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!

Red Pepper Taqueria and Coldbrews Sports Bar and Grill
Coldbrews.

They say: Join us on Sunday, February 3rd for kick-off and get front row seats to the game at both Red Pepper Taqueria and Coldbrews Sports Bar and Grill!
