Where to watch the big Jets-Steelers AFC title game this Sunday.
For the second year in a row the New York Jets have reached the AFC title game, and you know what that means – crowds and drink specials galore at the local watering holes this Sunday.
Make plans now for the 6:30 p.m. game, when the Jets take on the Steelers and Mark Sanchez and Ben Roethlisberger – the only two quarterbacks to start and win four postseason games in their first two NFL seasons – go head to head. The Jets may be playing in Pittsburgh, but you and your friends will surely have the home field advantage at any of the bars below.
: This massive venue is bound to be packed with a few hundred fellow Jets fans. Arrive for the earlier NFC title game between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears at 3 p.m. to take advantage of $3.50 Bud and Bud Light bottles and drafts and $3 rail drinks and draft beers for ladies (1p.m. to 7 p.m.). Plus, $20 towers of Bud Light (100 ounces) will be available all day, and from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., you’ll get twofers on domestic beers and rail drinks. The kitchen will stay open late. 3232 Railroad Avenue, Wantagh; 516-783-7500
