Super Bowl bars
Where's the best bar to watch the Super Bowl? You decide.
In celebration of the Super Bowl, we at Maine Today have called up the local sports bars to find out exactly what's going down while the Steelers and Cardinals fight for the trophy.
I can't possibly hide my giddiness about this game. I'm from Pittsburgh (as if you're just learning this) and people born there are born a Steelers fan. There's never been a Western Pennsylvania baby born without wearing Steelers gear before the age of one.
I could literally write seven (or 43) books about how great the Steelers are, especially Troy Polamalu, but this is a bar review guide, not Amy's-favorite-football-player blog. Plus half of New England doesn't even care about the Super Bowl - it's true the Pats got robbed, but that's neither here nor there.
Check out this list of local specials and decide if you'd rather go to the bar with the free wings and the 12 ft projection screen or the one with $1 shots of the Doctor for every touchdown.
