The biggest day in snacking, drinking, TV-watching, and, of course, football is coming—the Super Bowl. Root on your favorite team during the big game at one of these Best Local spots in Chicago and the suburbs near our corporate apartment locations. What goes better with sporting events than good company and great eats?

Three people sit at a bar, holding and toasting glasses of beer. They appear to be smiling and enjoying each other’s company, with a blurred, colorful background suggesting a lively atmosphere.

Head to Best Local Howells and Hood (435 N Michigan Ave.) to enjoy a huge beer selection and more during the Super Bowl. On Feb. 2 starting at 4pm, this downtown hotspot will offer specials on its 8-layer dip and jerk smoked chicken. Get there at 3pm to get a taste of the first annual Super Bowl Chili Cook-off! A 7-minute walk from Columbus Plaza in Streeterville.

Three friends sit closely together indoors, appearing excited and focused as they watch something off-camera. One man clenches his fists and smiles, while the others look engaged, suggesting they are watching a sports event.

Want to stay in our corporate apartment to watch the game instead? We don’t blame you. Order pizza from Best Local Brickswood Fired Pizza & Café (132 W St. Charles Rd.) in Lombard and kick back. Get a pie with BBQ sauce or pesto with a variety of meats, including bacon, capicola, meatballs and more. Top it off with veggies like artichoke hearts and portobella mushrooms too. An 11-minute drive from City View at the Highlands in Lombard!
