Get ready for an epic all-nighter… here’s where to watch the Super Bowl 2024
Whether you’re American, a sports fan, or a hedonist looking for an excuse to get plastered on a Sunday night, staying up to watch the Super Bowl has become increasingly popular in London. This year the Super Bowl takes place on Sunday 11 February, kick off 11.30pm UK time.
An increasing number of venues are throwing parties themed around the US sporting event. Here are some places to book ahead of this Sunday night’s big National Football League game.
Hard Rock Cafe
Hard Rock Cafe in Hyde Park is serving all-American classic game snacks throughout the night. Baby back ribs, nachos, wings, cheese fries will be on the menu, and ‘Big Game’ cocktails will be specially created for the night. There will also be prizes, competitions and big screens to catch the game.
Big Penny Social
Big Penny Social in Blackhorse Road, the UK’s biggest beer hall, is open until 4am on Monday 11 February to cater to Super Bowl fanatics and anyone fancying a super early Monday morning pint. The venue will be live screening the game on a 16 foot HD screen and serving an array of food and drinks throughout the night.

How about somewhere fancy? The Charlotte Street Hotel is a lovely spot for drinks on a weekend, with a bohemian feel.
