Here is a list of the best spots to watch the Super Bowl in North Brooklyn.
Minnows
Local watering hole Minnows (167 Nassau Ave.) will be broadcasting the Super Bowl with the sound on again this year.

The bar also wants locals to know that they built an enclosure and rented tents for the day, so there’s no need to bundle up.
