A Long Beach Post investigation has uncovered that on Sunday, Feb. 3, a football game going by the pseudonym of Super Bowl\u2014or words to that effect\u2014will take place in Atlanta. And we have it on good authority that one of the teams participating in this is the Rams. The Los Angeles<\/em>, Rams.<\/p>\n

No, really. Anyway, since this is happening and it figures that people will want to watch it happen or perhaps even do something on the day, we offer a short list of places to go, things to do. Call it a start, let us know if there are other things or places people should check out. C’mon, don’t make us beg…<\/p>\n

LEGENDS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Legends<\/a> is not only the original sports bar, but one of its founders was Dennis Harrah, an offensive lineman for the Los Angeles Rams. Given the fact the Rams are in the Super Bowl, you can pretty much bet the place is going to be packed, Sunday, watching those movie screen-sized TVs. Those who get inside can participate in huge raffles giving away gift baskets, skateboards and bikes. Now, as for getting in, well, Legends won\u2019t be taking reservations, so you might want to arrive early. The place opens for breakfast at 9 a.m., you might try getting a table then and, as long as you and your party keep\u00a0eating and drinking, you can keep the table. Perhaps to get in shape for that kind of consumption, try a nice cleanse on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Legends is located at\u00a05236 E. Second St.<\/em><\/p>\n

ROUNDIN\u2019 3RD<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first thing you\u2019ll notice when you walk inside\u00a0Roundin’ 3rd<\/a>\u00a0is the big, U-shaped bar and the clear line of sight you\u2019ll have to the HD TVs all around you; 25 in all. Roundin\u2019 3rd is keeping things pretty simple: you give them 65 bucks, they give you, among other things, reserved seating, four pints of either beer, glasses of wine or well drinks, a $10 gift card and a T-shirt. Not a bad exchange. If you give them 75 bucks, the well drinks become a you-call situation.<\/p>\n

Roundin’ 3rd is located at 4133 E. Anaheim St.<\/em><\/p>\n

SUPER BOWL PARTY AT SEA<\/strong><\/p>\n

They\u2019re billing it as the \u201cUltimate 2019 Super Bowl Party at Sea<\/a>!\u201d We don\u2019t have much to compare it to, the closest we get to water on Super Bowl Sunday is using it\u2014very judiciously\u2014as a\u00a0mixer. Carnival Cruise’s Inspiration<\/a>\u00a0will be the site of the fun. Fun meaning\u00a0all-you-can eat food, nightlife, spa treatments and shopping, because what\u2019s the Super Bowl without commerce? You\u2019ll leave on Friday from Long Beach, arrive in Ensenada, Mexico on Saturday, head back out to sea on Sunday where you\u2019ll watch the Super Bowl on big screens and by Monday morning, be back in Long Beach, just in time for the victory parade.<\/p>\n

Carnival Cruise Inspiration Cruise Terminal is located at 231 Windsor Way.<\/em><\/p>\n

BADDELEY’S POURHOUSE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Baddeley’s<\/a> has plenty of TVs for you to watch the game; seven new HD flat screens along with a huge 84-inch monitor. There will be special prizes for the first 30 guests, so set your alarms. There are other things including various swag and drink specials and, word to the wise, Baddeley’s is renowned for their Mimosa and Bloody Mary specials on the weekend. Still, what might separate Baddeley’s on Sunday is what happens at halftime. That\u2019s when the joint will roll out its spread from, wait for it, The Attic! Awww, we love The Attic. Who doesn\u2019t?<\/p>\n

Baddeley’s Pourhouse is located at\u00a03348 E. Broadway.<\/em><\/p>\n

GALLAGHER’S <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Irish pub will have specials on pitchers of beer as well as pints of Bud and Bud Light and some appetizer deals. It figures to be a very packed house as Gallagher’s<\/a> is in the tradition of the neighborhood pub, dropped smack dab in the middle of, well, a neighborhood. Just so you know, the bar is traditionally a gathering place for fans of the San Francisco 49ers, so you may get a bit of that but, in the end, when the Rams are victorious, there’s no doubt our friends from the north will be effusive in their praise of Southern California as well as happy for our good fortune, as they always are.<\/p>\n

Gallagher’s is located at 2751 E. Broadway.<\/em><\/p>\n

RILEY\u2019S<\/strong><\/p>\n

Riley\u2019s<\/a> is keeping this pretty simple. You pay them $60, they let you eat and drink anything you want, as much as you want, from 3 p.m. until the end of the game. It’s like being at your parent’s house without the not-so-subtle disappointment. You can reserve your tables now but, be aware if you don\u2019t arrive by 3:15 p.m., the table will go to someone else. Perhaps that guy you hate. Man, that<\/em> guy, am I right?<\/p>\n

Riley’s is located at 5331 E. Second St.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

LONG BEACH STATE REVERSE TRIATHLON<\/strong><\/p>\n

And no, this doesn’t mean you perform the disciplines of a triathlon\u2014running, swimming, cycling\u2014backwards, though, come to think of it, that<\/em> would be a race to watch. No, the Long Beach State Reverse Triathalon<\/a>\u00a0means the usual order of events is flipped so that competitors begin with the 5K run, then do the 20K bike ride and finish with the swim. If you’re concerned about the swim, know that it\u2019s only\u2014easy for me to say\u2014400 meters and that it will take place in a pool,\u00a0not the ocean. Race packets will begin being passed out at 6 a.m. with racing scheduled to begin at 7:30 a.m., all ages and experience-levels are welcome. Awards will be given to the top three finishers in each race category.<\/p>\n

The Long Beach State Reverse Triathlon begins at 1212 Bellflower Blvd.<\/em><\/p>\n

DIRTBAG BAR<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Dirtbag<\/a> is well-known for the coldness of its beer\u2014frosty\u2014and the quality and variety of their Micheladas\u2014they do one with mango; wrap your head around that. On Sunday, they\u2019ll offer that and $10 buckets of Budweiser and $5 Jolly Rancher shots. They\u2019ll also have raffles with mystery gifts. You heard right, Merlin, mystery gifts.<\/p>\n

Dirtbag Bar is located at 710 Wardlow Road.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
