After a monumental comeback victory against the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship game, the San Francisco 49ers have landed in the Super Bowl for a 2020 rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Whether you’re a Swiftie waiting for cutaways of Taylor, a diehard Niners fan or most excited for the snacks and commercials, Peninsula residents who aren’t lucky enough to have a ticket to the big game in Las Vegas will be competing for the best barstools and prime seating at local restaurants, bars and breweries. We scouted out game-day deals on food and drinks and found spots hosting DJs, giveaways and – most importantly – showing the game with sound on Sunday, Feb. 11. Go Niners!
