Where to Go to NOT Root for the Patriots or Seahawks
Broncos fans have a tough choice this Sunday. We can’t stand our AFC rivals, the New England Patriots, and we can’t forget the shellacking we took from the Seattle Seahawks in last year’s Superbowl. Well, fans might be disappointed, but we shouldn’t let that stop us from enjoying the big game. Here are some places where we can boo both teams this Sunday.
Fado's
Fado's Irish Pub in LoDo will have the game on all the TVs with sound, and there will game day specials on Guinness, cocktails, wings and burgers. (1735 19th St.; 303-297-0066)

This brewery and pub in Boulder are having a Growler Happy Hour until 5 PM on Sunday. Buy a growler and enjoy a free beer while it is being filled. The pub is also offering Superbowl party platters starting at $35. However, the bar will be closing at 5 PM so no watching the game. (1600 38th St., Boulder; 303-449-FATE)
