12 Spots For The Big Game

Bergen County bars are havens for cheering, snacking and soaking up Super Bowl Sunday.

Super Bowl Sunday is just days away, and it’s the one day a year when watching the game is a full-on event. Think big plays, cold drinks and the kind of crowd reactions you can’t get at home no matter how large your television.

From packed sports bars to local hangouts with wall-to-wall screens, Bergen County has no shortage of great spots to catch every moment (and commercial). Below are some of the best places to watch, cheer and settle in for the biggest game of the year—many of them are previous Readers’ Choice Award winners. (Remember to vote for your favorite sports bar in the 2026 Readers’ Choice contest!)
