Super Bowl Sunday can be a good time to go for a bike ride or a long drive, to enjoy light traffic while everyone else watches the game.

But if you want to watch the game, and you want to watch it with other people who care about the outcome, you might be heading to a local establishment.

Here are a few places in Banning, Beaumont, Cabazon and a bit further afield where you are likely to find folks as fired up as you are.

Paddy O'Reilly Grill & Pub, 41 W. Ramsey St. in Banning: A bartender Saturday said, "Absolutely, bring it down. The NFL Package will be on and cracking."

Sand Trap Sports Bar & Grill, 892 West Oak Valley Parkway in Beaumont: Opens at 10 a.m. Sunday, $2.55 domestic drafts, a bartender said.

For those who venture out on the roads while the game is on, take care once the game ends after dark. There may be a few intoxicated or otherwise distracted drivers out there.
