Patriots vs. Falcons. Brady vs. Ryan. Your diet vs. wingsbrand beer. These are just a few of the battles taking place on Sunday when SuperbrBowl 51 kicks off in Houston. Since the big game is even better when you sharebrit with friends, family, football fanatics and fantastic eats, considerbrventuring out to one of these venues. Don't worry: It can be a cheat day—andbrwe're not talking about deflated footballs.
Plucker's Wing Bar

Del Frisco's Grille
1200 E. Southlake Boulevard
Southlake
In the mood for something a little more upscale? Try DelbrFrisco's Grille, where you can score cocktails to complement your palate. Plus,brthe low-key atmosphere means you will probably be able to hear at least some of the comical commercials inbrbetween the game.

Frankie's
1303 Main St.

On second thought, maybe you'll want to pre-game this superbrmatchup with some super mimosas. If so, Frankie's has you covered withbrbottomless mimosas and a build-your-own bloody mary bar until 3 p.m. Nobrjudgment here—we may see you there to “cope” with our feelings about thebrCowboys' no-show in the Super Bowl.
