IT’S ONLY A GAME?

So, you want to party with your friends during the big game on Sunday, but you don’t want to have to clean up after those slobs leave your place in a shambles? Well, luckily for you, many local sports bars and watering holes are hosting Super Bowl parties that run the gamut from highfalutin affairs to cozy, friendly get-togethers. Here are a few.

Brandy McKay, the owner of Weber’s Place, 19312 Vanowen St., Reseda, (818) 345-9800, has a warning for anyone thinking of coming to her place on Sunday.

“If you don’t like a lot of yellin’ and screamin’, this is not the place to come,” McKay says.

For those who need to warm up early, the party starts here almost six hours before kickoff at 9:30 a.m. with Bloody Marys for 75 cents. A Super Bowl breakfast follows at 10. No charge at the door, a football-throwing contest held at halftime, raffle prizes, more than 15 screens and 27 beers on tap are among the highlights. Beer will be $1.99 for a pint and $5.79 a pitcher, and mixed drinks will be $2.99.

Festivities at Yankee Doodles, 21870 Victory Blvd., Woodland Hills, (818) 883-3030, start at 2 p.m. Besides its 22 televisions and two big screens, this club’s party scores points in other ways too. First, the club will hold a drawing for a Toyota truck. In addition, the Bud Girls will be there to take on all comers in table ice hockey. Five dollars will be collected at the door, which can be applied to the purchase of food or beverage. Draft beers will be $2.
