From no-frills neighborhood hangouts to polished, party-ready spots, these are the best places in Myrtle Beach and surrounding areas to watch the Super Bowl without squinting at a screen or settling for sad snacks.
Dagwood’s Deli
Dagwood’s is that casual, anything-goes kind of place where the Super Bowl feels more like watching the game at a friend’s house—if your friend happened to have a full bar and a serious sandwich situation. Known for its stacked subs, burgers and wings, this spot leans relaxed and unpretentious. The TVs are plentiful, the beer is cold and the crowd is usually a mix of locals who know each other and visitors who immediately feel welcome. Come hungry, wear something comfortable and plan on staying awhile.
