15 Rowland Way, Novato, CA, 94945


Sauced BBQ and Spirits

Nominated for: Best wings, best nachos and best atmosphere

When a place is known for its BBQ dishes, you know you can't go wrong with a plate of wings. But Sauced also has a lively atmosphere for watching the Super Bowl as well as some mean "rednexican" nachos made with black beans, roasted corn, fresh jalapeno and a choice of burnt ends, pork, brisket or chicken.

2300 First St. #120, Livermore, CA, 94550 (There are also locations in Walnut Creek, Sacramento and Petaluma)


The Rock House Pub and Grill

Nominated for: Best burger

While its 37 large TVs, weekly burger specials, "to die for" spareribs and clam chowder make The Rock House Pub and Grill a prime watch spot for the Super Bowl, owner Barney Stocking thinks it's the bar's welcoming atmosphere that really makes his establishment unique.

"We are the community’s local pub in every sense of the word," he says. "When you come for special functions or to eat, drink or hang out to listen to live music or watch sports, it feels like home and it feels like you’re among family."

1840 Portola Avenue, Livermore, CA, 94550


Paxti’s

Nominated for: Best pizza

With both deep dish and thin crust pizzas on the menu, Paxti's is the perfect spot for anyone looking to satisfy their pizza craving during the Super Bowl as they sip beers at the bar.

There are five Paxti's locations in San Francisco. Click here for a full list.


Sanctuary Ultra Lounge

Nominated for: Best super bowl specials

When your eyes aren't glued to the television screen, you can head to Sanctuary's game room for some shuffle board, foozeball, beer pong or giant Jenga. Then head back to your table for some sliders, charcuterie plates and garlic fries.

2369 First St., Livermore, CA, 94550


Napkins Bar and Grill

Nominated for: Best wings, best nachos and best beer

If you're looking to deviate from the traditional Buffalo wings for Super Bowl, the wings at Napkins -- made with citrus habanero glaze and avocado cream sauce -- are just the ticket. Pair them with bar's "tap of the month beer" or one of the many bottled beer options.

1001 Second Street, Downtown Napa, CA, 94559
