Super Bowl Sunday brings everyone out: locals who make it a tradition, visitors looking for a lively place to watch, couples planning a low-key night out, and solo fans who just want good game energy without the chaos. What we all want is the same thing: a fun, comfortable place to settle in and feel the buzz.

This year’s big game, Super Bowl LX, takes place on Sunday, February 8, 2026, with the Seattle Seahawks facing the New England Patriots. And yes, some of us are watching just as closely for the commercials as we are for the score.

If you’re deciding where to watch Super Bowl 2026 in Midtown Manhattan, stopping by Artie’s Backroom at Pod 39 is a solid move, especially if you arrive early. That’s when it’s easiest to grab a good seat, get comfortable, and ease into the night before the crowd fills in. The big screen is on, the sound is up, and nothing important gets missed.

There’s also plenty happening beyond the game itself. Green Day is part of the pre-game festivities this year, and the halftime show belongs to Bad Bunny, which honestly makes this Super Bowl feel like more than just football. Whether you’re here for the plays, the performances, or the shared reactions in the room, it all lands better when you’re watching together.

Artie’s is a place people come to hang out, not rush through. Between the FREE pool table, cold beer, warm snacks, and familiar faces at the bar, it’s easy to stay put once kickoff hits. We’re offering a $100 Super Bowl platter + pitcher designed for sharing: wings, truffle fries, pretzel bites, mozzarella sticks, and a pitcher of your choice. Enough to keep the table happy while the game (and commercials) roll on.

Whether you’re a Seahawks fan, a Patriots fan, here for the music and commercials, or just looking for a comfortable Midtown bar to enjoy the night, Artie’s Backroom is a place where it feels easy to stay, watch, and enjoy.
