Before you dig into all those chili dogs and beer, a run on the Katy Trail might be enough to cancel all that indulgence. Once you’ve finished your physical activity, stop at Katy Trail Ice House and watch the game with all your friends at one of the massive outdoor (and indoor) tables. In case your dog’s a huge football fan, she’s welcome too.

Most of Dallas’ sports bars are going to be pretty packed on Super Bowl Sunday, but Lee Harvey’s offers plenty of room to spread out. Bring your (leashed, well-behaved) dog and enjoy the game in the comforts of one of Dallas’ finest dive bars. Excellent fish tacos and burgers only sweeten the deal.

Barbecue and football is probably the most American combination of all time, especially when you’ve got a roomy spot like Lockhart Smokehouse to indulge in both. Order up brisket and sausage from the window, and plop down at the bar (you’ll have the best view of the game) and you’ll be meat-drunk before the halftime show.

Party it up frat boy style at this charmingly dingy SMU establishment. The pitchers of beer are cold and cheap, there’s plenty of TVs for watching the game and just enough people-watching to keep you entertained if the game turns out to be totally boring.

Even if you’re not particularly interested in the game on Sunday, Shell Shack is a pretty solid place to pretend you care. Spicy crawfish and crab, cold beer, and plenty of TVs are almost enough to make you forget that the Cowboys haven’t been in the Super Bowl in a really, really long time.

Stop into this venue-adjacent restaurant for farm-to-table fare that’s much healthier than your average nachos and wings. Once you’re done eating, you can head over to the Granada Theater to watch the game on their massive projection screens for free, or stick around Sundown for a Puppy Bowl watch party and half-price flatbreads, a cuddly alternative for those uninterested in sports.

If the weather cooperates, there’s no better place to spend an unseasonably warm Feburary day than at Truck Yard. Grab a frozen cocktail or two, dig into a cheesesteak, and pretend that patio season has officially arrived. Oh, and of course, enjoy the game from the comforts of a treehouse.
