Catch the game at one of these fine locations
January 24, 2008
With the Super Bowl weekend coming up February 3rd, Ames serves up a multitude of seats to enjoy the event. So whether you are cheering on your team to victory, enjoying the halftime show or just enjoying the drama and grandeur of those memorable commercials, here’s a list of some championship-worthy venues to visit the day of the big game.
Old Chicago
1610 S. Kellogg Ave.
At Old Chicago, people of all ages can watch the big game with a choice of bar and dining areas. Put that together with signature pizzas, saucy calzones and over a hundred beers and you will have nothing to complain about, no matter which teams wins.
Welch Avenue Station
207 1/2 Welch Ave.
Located right in the heart of Campustown, this bar is a Cyclone favorite and a great place to watch the game on one of their many televisions, drink some beer, eat some tasty grub and have a good time in a laid-back atmosphere.
Legends American Grill
200 Stanton Ave.
With a great view and even better atmosphere, Legends is the place to be for delicious all-American entrees, appetizers and drinks to help make the game even more fun. With lots of HDTVs, this smoke-free establishment is touchdown worthy.
Wallaby’s
3720 Lincoln Way
Great food and friendly locals are what this Ames fixture is all about. With its laid-back atmosphere, this all-American restaurant is a great place for sports enthusiasts to relax, make themselves feel at home and enjoy homemade food, beer and, what else? Football!
West Cyde Wings
3706 Lincoln Way
As one of the only wings places in town, West Cyde Wings is the no-brainer spot to be for delicious wings. With over 20 different sauces, these boneless wings have the power to please any palate. However, if wings just aren’t your thing, WCW serves up a great selection of sandwiches, wraps and sides to savor. The legendary Inferno Challenge cranks up the heat on wings that will make your head spin. However, if you are up to the challenge and succeed, you’ll get your picture on the wall. Add a 6 feet by 8 feet projection screen to watch the big game, and the only thing to worry about is whether or not your team will win.
Okoboji Grill
114 S. Duff Ave.
Having a wall full of televisions to cheer for or cry about your team is not the only reason to come to this family-style restaurant, bar and grill. Enjoy a full menu of traditional American cuisine as you root for your team on one of their many TVs.
