Super Bowl Snack Attack


This will never get old.


Both sports enthusiasts and haters can agree on one thing: the best part of the Bowl is clearly the snacks. And maybe the multi-million dollar commercial breaks and half-time show with The Who -- but mostly just the snacks. Whether you're getting rowdy with your bros at the bar or hurling chips at your television from the convenience of your living room, these restaurants have your Super Bowl menu covered.


Lockdown Bar

(1024 N. Western Ave., 773-451-5625)

New Ukrainian Village metal burger joint Lockdown Bar is turning down the Metallica and turning up the Manning for Super Bowl Sunday. With televisions lining almost every inch of space, every seat gets a perfect view of the game. Specials include half-price draft beers and Don’t Drop the Soap, a Bratwurst boiled in beer and grilled, served with fresh cut fries ($4). Uh...yeah. Opens at 4:00 p.m.


Gourmet Grub at People Lounge

(1560 N. Milwaukee Ave., 773-227-9339)

While you can't beat the guilty pleasures of a greasy chicken wing, tossing a little paprika on top certainly makes things more interesting. Wicker Park tapas spot, People Lounge, is offering a Spanish-inspired Super Bowl menu of spicy smoked paprika Buffalo wings ($6 for 10 wings) and Spanish nachos with aged manchego cheese, chopped chicken and olives ($6) to watch with the big game on two large flat-screen televisions. The bar opens early at 5:00 p.m. to give a head start with discounted traditional tapas from 5:30-7:00 p.m. and drink specials all night.

No Boys Allowed! Anti-Super Bowl Party at Simone's
(960 W. 18th St., 312-666-8601)

Stylish dresses and skirts score a free Cosmo. Crying over Carrie's dating disasters starts at 5:00 p.m.
