This Sunday, Feb. 13, LSU legend and 2019 Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow’s Cincinnati Bengals face off against the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI.
Thankfully, Baton Rouge is home to plenty of restaurants, bars and other venues to watch the big game, many of which are running specials and hosting parties. And while most bars and restaurants in town will be showing the Super Bowl, we’re focusing here on those with something special planned. No matter where you decide to celebrate, it’s probably best to get there a little earlier than the 5:30 p.m. kickoff—that perfect view of the game is gonna go quick!
