Malibu Patch Picks: Great Places to Watch the Super Bowl

Here is a list of great places to watch the Super Bowl, which begins at about 3:30 p.m. Sunday. Want to suggest a list for future editions of Malibu Patch Picks? Send your ideas to jonathan.friedman@patch.com.

: There are three screens in the bar, three screens in the other bar and a big screen they pull down by the bookcase. Manager Josh Morgan said, “We’ll have $3 Bud and Bud Lights and a wing special made three different ways for $7.50. Hotties everywhere.” Also recommended: The $10 nachos. 21150 Pacific Coast Highway, 310-317-0777

: Owner Rick Loehr touts the Malibu Cigar Lounge as “the only place in Malibu to enjoy a fine cigar and watch your favorite team win the Super Bowl.” Located on Pacific Coast Highway next to , Loehr and his son Troy offer a wide variety of cigars from around the world. They range in price from $5.99 to $30. There are two lounges, each with a 46-inch high-definition flat-screen TV. Drinks and snacks will be served. This is stogies only. No cigarette smoking allowed. 22525 Pacific Coast Highway, 310-456-8324

:  There is one big screen on the north wall and “two of my Top Guns behind the bar,” said manager Jay Braticus. Behind the top guns are two more TV screens. No matter where you look: Gridiron. Four dollar Bud and Bud Light, $6 mojitos and margaritas and the usual $5 Sunday mimosas. The special Super Bowl Sunday Tailgate Menu includes $4 Mexican corn, $14 nachos with chicken, steak or pork. Or you can go all out with the Tailgate Platter for $34. 3939 Cross Creek Road, 310-317-0300

/: Same ownership, close locations. Bui has one screen on each side and a big screen on the north wall of the east room, if that’s not too confusing. Beers are $6 on tap and Bryanna the manager recommends the spicy tuna tostada for $15 or the Paradise Roll for $18. The Surf and Turf Roll is a taste sensation. And if you want to nosh, wok-tossed edamame are spicy and hot, and will whet your whistle if it needs whetting.

If you play Depth Charge at Bui during the game—sinking a sake cup in a beer—and lose, wander next door to Coogie’s. Two screens, no waiting, beers under $5 and a full menu of comfort food (in case your side does not come out victorious). Green Bay cheeseheads can stay true to their school with the Three Cheese Sandwich, while Pittsburghers might like to get on the outside of their certified Angus Beef Grilled Patty Melt. Or if all that running and sweating makes you health conscious, try the Laird Hamilton Surprise. It includes one plate of scrambled egg whites and one bowl of oat meal mixed together and topped with honey and raisins. Then go paddle across the Bay after the game. 23755 Malibu Road, 310-317-1444 (Coogie's) and 310-456-1500 (Bui)

: Sol the Bartender said “Come on down!” to check out the Super Bowl at the bar. Duck outside to get some fresh air and check the surf during the commercial breaks. Lidia the manager promises a full barrel of free peanuts and beer from $5.95 to $9.95. She recommends the $15.95 calamari, which comes in a super-sized martini glass and is more fried squid than any two or four people should be allowed to eat. 28128 Pacific Coast Highway, 310-457-3273
