It’s here. The moment we’ve been waiting for since last February… SUPER BOWL LI is finally upon us! And boy do “Gridiron & Gravy” have a party for you in Manchester…
Arrive at Pie & Ale from 10pm where we’ll be showing highlights from the NFC & AFC Championship Game’s to get you in the mood, plus selected other highlights from throughout the 16 season. Then from 11pm it’s show time with the official Sky Sports HD coverage taking in all the action from NRG Park, where the winners of the AFC take on the winners of the NFC at the NRG Stadium, home of the Houston Texans.
But that’s not all. OH NO! Apart from us having big screens with unparalleled viewing access across the whole venue, we also have a host of goodies to ensure that there is only one place to be this Super Bowl Sunday. Upon arrival you’ll be greeted with your first FREE DRINK of the evening, fresh from our ‘SUPER BOWL OF PUNCH’.
After that has set your evening on the right track you’ll then be able to sample some of the finest selections of beers, real ales and lagers in all of Manchester… and if that isn’t enough we’re also having… DRINKS OFFERS ALL NIGHT starting with DRAFT PINTS FROM JUST £2.80!
Excited yet? You should be…and it doesn’t stop there! There’ll be a fine selection of pre-game American-style snacks on offer to you for FREE including pretzels, pop corn and ‘chips’, and when you feel the need for something more substantial we’ll be serving traditional Super Bowl Sunday fair late into the night, including Loaded Hot Dogs, Buckets of Wings and Molten Cheese Nachos.
As the night continues we’re hoping that you’ll have been with us for a good while by then, and as the clock ticks down to end the 3rd quarter we want to repay your loyalty, so… FREE DRINKS IN THE 4TH QUARTER!!!
You read that right: we’re getting the drinks-in in the 4th and that’s ANYTHING that you fancy on draft! No if’s, no buts, no clever T&C’s; just you, drinking your drink of choice, on us, in the 4th.
More announcements of what else we have in store for you will be coming on the run-up to the big day, but in short, this is what we have for you so far:
- 10pm – Arrive at Pie & Ale, free drink and snacks + hot food available to order when ever you like
- 10-11pm – NFC & AFC Championship Game Highlight
- 11pm – Live Sky Sports HD coverage begins
- 11:30pm – Kick-off at NRG Stadium, Houston, Texas

====================
Who are Gridiron & Gravy? We’re a Manchester based collective who are aiming to create a community of American Football fans for the North of the UK. Following the success of our Super Bowl Party at Pie & Ale in 2016, we have been organising Sunday night viewings of NFL games at Pie & Ale throughout the season. In addition to this, we’ve successfully organised special events, including a pre-season fan meet-up in September, a Thanksgiving Football party in November and an official Denver Broncos UK meet up in December.
This is still our first full season though and we really do view this as only the beginning: we already have a Draft Day party in April in our sights, plus many more special events to come before and during the 2017 season. We’d love you to be involved and to hear any ideas you may have, so please follow us on social media and do get in touch!
