The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis
At the top of our list this year because who goes to the Ritz to watch anything? …except the beautiful people. This year, the Ritz is going off-script and transforming the Lobby Lounge into “the ultimate sports bar,” which means multiple big screen TVs, team-color decos, and a special menu, including buffalo chicken dip, bone-in or boneless wings, beef quesadillas, toasted rav’s, pigs-in-a-blanket, bbq pulled pork flatbread sandwiches, New Orleans gumbo and New Orleans style hot dogs, plus pitchers and buckets of beer. And should you want to toast your team in style, martinis and champagne, of course, as only the Ritz can do them. (100 Carondelet Plz, 314-863-6300, ritzcarlton.com)

With three locations, there’s one near you, each with different drink/bottle/draft specials (details on website) but with one common denominator: the Football Platter, an every-Sunday special with three BBQ pork sliders, half a dozen toasted ravioli, half a dozen wings, and a chicken quesadilla topped, a $24 value for $12.95.

This and every Sunday, $20 buys you the “Sunday Funday” special: 10 wings and a bucket o’ five beers. You can play the squares game, too, and on a grand scale: there are 2 boards for the Big Game, one at $10/square and one for $20. Step up, big spenders.

It’s a coin-toss: whether to enjoy the Big Game in the man-cave, or in the company of friends and fellow football fiends at one of the local bar-restaurants. If you’re leaning toward the latter, here are a few of the better players.
Biggest Miss Dept: Neither J Buck’s or Joe Buck’s locations are open on Sundays (and we so wanted an order of their smoked chicken wings, some of the best in town).
And after all this, should you end up watching the game at home, FOX2 would like to crash your party. Details here.
