Where to Watch Super Bowl LIX in Hawaiʻi
Whether you’re a die hard football fan or just excited about the halftime show, these are the hottest spots to catch the big game on Sunday.
The big game is almost here! This Sunday football fans will watch the Kansas City Chiefs face the Philadelphia Eagles in a New Orleans showdown that’s inspiring some excellent food and beverage options like Kansas City barbecue, Philly cheesesteaks and delicious cajun food.
Unless you’re a Chiefs’ fan, you may be looking for something a little new and a little different this Super Bowl. Since the teams haven’t changed much over the past few years, a new venue to catch the game may be just the thing to liven things up. Check out these new (or somewhat new) sports bars and venues that will be showing Super Bowl LIX, along with a few classics.

Favorite Son

If you’ve been looking for an excuse to check out Favorite Son—the new casual eatery inside Romer Waikīkī at The Ambassador—the Super Bowl is a great reason. The special game day menu shows off flair for the playful and includes cheeky drink and food options including the Fly Eagles Fly cocktail and Kelce’s Kickin’ Wings made with teriyaki and Sriracha mayo.

The Dotted Line

For those who prefer an upscale Super Bowl watch party, The Dotted Line at the AC Marriott in Downtown Honolulu is a great choice. It’s not martinis and lobster all the time. The eatery will be sticking to those American staples during the game with specials on wings, fried bites and buckets of beer. Validated parking is available, and its full menu will be offered during the game, as well.

Brix and Stones

Another high-end party to consider is the one inside the cigar lounge at Brix and Stones bottle shop and cigar lounge. Your $100 ticket (a $25 deposit is required for the reservation) includes access to the cigar lounge, two cocktails or five beers, three cigars, along with prizes and giveaways. Since this isn’t an actual restaurant, you’ll need to bring your own snacks and leave the kids at home.

Classic Oʻahu Sports Bars
Although these spots on O‘ahu are not new, some of your favorite traditional sports bars are hosting Super Bowl parties. Check out the events below.
- Champs Sports Bar in Kaimukī – $15 tickets are required for the family-friendly event which includes prizes, giveaways, and food and drink specials.

Wailuku’s newest sports bar, The Parlay, is an indoor-outdoor venue with plenty of space available for visiting/taunting other tables, cheering with strangers, and having a bit of mildly rowdy fun. It’s great for large groups and it’s family- and dog-friendly. Doors open at 11am and drink and food specials will be available throughout the game, including Philly cheesesteaks, Kansas City barabecue plates, poutine, and nachos. Free raffle drawings will happen throughout the game, and the evening wraps up with a live deejay and dance party.

Coco Deck Kitchen + Bar

The newest project from the Hana Hou Hospitality team is quickly becoming one of West Maui’s favorite places to watch sports. From the comfy living room style section to the casual dining and bar spaces, there’s plenty of room to watch the game and try some of “Kitchen Assassin” Alvin Savella’s amazing food. You may even want to test your stamina with the halftime wing eating contest. Although VIP seating is already sold out, open seating is available and there are a few table reservations left.

Koholā Brewery Taproom
Although it’s not a sports bar, per se, the new indoor and outdoor seating areas at Koholā Brewery will let you enjoy the game while also soaking in some sunshine. This family-friendly venue has a great vibe and an even better menu including specialty musubi, pretzel and dip sandwich. Plus, all food offerings pair perfectly with Koholā beers, cocktails and unique beer cocktails.

Kaua‘i
Nawiliwili Bar & Lounge
Much like Koholā Brewery, the owners of The Dirty Monkey in Lahaina refused to be defeated by the 2023 wildfires. Nawilili Tavern was a Kaua‘i classic dive bar, now under new ownership by The Dirty Monkey team (it’s swapped “Tavern” for “Bar & Lounge” in their rebranding). This spot will be serving up burgers and wings in front of eight TVs at this new fun and funky bar on Kauaʻi.

Another new business in Pāhoa? Yep! But it’s a business you might already familiar with.
