As with most parties, alcohol will be enjoyed, however, tempers may also flare as one team ends in defeat. It's not so much what goes on during the party, it's the aftermath. The heated sports conversations and the driving home intoxicated can get people into trouble. Arrests do happen the night of Super Bowl Sunday including early parts of the day as well while people are gearing up for the big game. We encourage people to use a ride share service such as Uber and to pace themselves if they are drinking. If you do find yourself behind bars we are open on Super Bowl Sunday, so people can call us to bond out of jail."
