Philly Bars and Restaurants Showing the Eagles-Vikings Game on Sunday
This Sunday's NFC Championship game is a doozy. Here's where to watch it.
These past few months have been quite a rollercoaster ride for Eagles fans, what with Carson Wentz’s torn ACL and last Saturday’s somewhat shaky (yet thrilling) win against the Falcons.
But the ride continues this Sunday as the Birds will get to host Minnesota at the Linc. Below: all the best bars and restaurants showing the game.
Mad Rex, Northern Liberties
Sound on: Yes
Football will apparently survive the apocalypse, so Mad Rex is showing the Eagles game at their bar and lounge. They’re serving $3 drafts of their Mad Rex IPA, Bud Light, Miller Lite, and Yuengling. They’re also offering free Mac Rex IPA drafts with the purchase of any burger and one free order of loaded fries per party. Plus, when the Birds score — as we know they will many, many times — they’re offering something called a Flaming Eagles Shot.
Yard’s Brewery and Taproom, Northern Liberties
Sound on: Yes
Yards will be serving up their green-tinged Philly wings, which get their color from a sauce made from spicy long hot peppers, for Sunday’s game.
La Peg, Old City
Sound on: Yes
Assuming the weather holds out, they’ll project the game on their massive outdoor screen, with drinks from Pegsicle — La Peg’s ice bar — and tailgate-inspired burgers and bites like fried cheese curds from chef Peter Woolsey.
The Little Lion, Old City
Sound on: Yes
Watch the game at their upstairs bar starting 30 minutes before kickoff. Game time specials include southern poutine topped with pork belly and a fried egg for $5, spicy dry rub wings for $6, BBQ chicken sliders for $6, and lager drafts for $3.
City Tap House, University City and Logan Square
Sound on: Yes
All game long: $5 Victory Home Grown Lagers

BRÜ’s underground little brother is showing the game and serving up specials from the BRÜ kitchen.
McGillin’s Old Ale House, Midtown Village
Sound on: Yes
Philly’s oldest continually operating pub traditionally only serves green beer at St. Patrick’s Day — but for the first time ever, they’ll offer it when the Eagles play this Sunday. Or sip a bright green Iggletini — that’s vanilla vodka, creme de menthe, and half and half — for something sweeter.
Cinder, Rittenhouse

They’ll show both the AFC and NFC championship games at the bar. And what a coincidence — it’ll be Local IPA Day, too. So at the bar, they’re offering pints of Funk Brewing’s Silent Disco, Pizza Boy’s Echo Puncher, Troegs’ Nugget Nectar, Urban Village’s Sofa King, and 2SP’s Up and Out for $5 each.
