10 great sports bars to check out the players during the Super Bowl

Sunday Funday in a sports bar means sweaty men in tight pants pushing, shoving, and tackling one another, and never more so on Super Bowl Sunday.

If you want to avoid game day chaos and inevitable natcho strewn mess after hosting the guys at your place while serving 7-layer bean dip, allow us to suggest a few sports bars that are sure to be a gay ol’ time.

To help you avoid the sports bars full of beer chugging jock bros — unless, of course, you’re into that — we’ve found some gay-friendly options for the butch boys who like to talk tight ends and wide receivers.
