Super Bowl party at the Brooklyn Winery
Not really into the dive bars or pubs for Super Bowl this year? Then this may be the answer! The Brooklyn Winery is hosting a Super Bowl LI screening party, featuring a special menu just for the occasion. The hosts welcome you by suggesting for you to “see the New England Patriots take on the Atlanta Falcons on our 9 foot Atrium screen with surround sound. Sit back and enjoy the game while savoring our Super Bowl menu complete with Pita Nachos, Buffalo Chicken Bites, Sliders, Crispy Brussels Sprouts, and more! Drink specials for the evening include “The End Zone,” so come early to grab a seat and watch the game (or, let’s be honest, the commercials) in comfort! Seating will fill up fast. Doors open at 5pm!
