Super Bowl Parties, Plus Gameday Food & Drink Specials in Seattle

Let’s go Seahawks, let’s go! It’s only days until the big day and the big game, where the Hawks will go for their second Super Bowl win. I will be pacing at home until the last seconds tick off the clock, but whether you want to go out and watch with your pals or invite them over, you’re in luck – a bunch of our local swell spots are celebrating the Seahawks and the game with specially designed drinks and food (some even at special prices!).

Bookstore Bar, Downtown
The Bookstore has two specialty drinks happening for the Hawks – well, really one in honor of the team, and one specifically for the awesome and loud 12th Man. The first is the Hawks Hottie, a cold-weather warmer featuring butter, brown sugar, spices, dark rum and hot water topped with Ancho Reyes whipped cream. The second was created to help ease the throat ache that many experience after screaming through a full game, and is called The Throat Lozenge. It’s a mix of Ballantine’s, lemon juice, Chartreuse, and honey syrup. The bar also has an all-day happy hour going Sunday.

Frolik Kitchen+Cocktails, Downtown
Expect an all-day celebration (6 a.m. to 10 p.m.) in the Motif hotel’s fifth-floor bar, complete with a host of Hawks-related items. There’ll be a 12th Man Meal, featuring the Frolik burger, local beer on tap, Skittles and 12th Man Hawk jello shots. You’ll also find outdoor grilling on the patio, classic tailgating-style food (from hot dogs, sliders, wings to street tacos, meatball sandwiches, nachos, tamales and more), buckets of local brews, a Bloody Mary and a Mimosa bar, and even a Super Bowl Commercial Bingo contest and a prize for the most spirited fan.

Edgewater Hotel, Downtown
Catch the final day of the waterfront Edgewater Hotel‘s ongoing 12 Days of Super Seahawks on Sunday, and pick up a special Seahawk salumi plate of assorted cured meats, cheeses and grilled bread. If you wanna get in early on the celebrating, stop by today (January 29) for the The “Sher” Man, a mix of Sauza silver tequila, blue curaçao, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup, or order up some Hawk fries (crispy French fries with garlic, parmesan, and chives) on January 30, or a Hillard’s 12th Can for $5 on the 31.

Volterra, Kirkland and Ballard
You’ll make an end zone run with two special drinks in both Volterra locations for the big day and big game. The first will remind you fondly of the team’s NFC Championship comeback: It’s called The Onside Kick, and boasts vodka, fresh lime sour, blue curaçao, and orange flower water.  The second drink is a housemade Fireball, and something that you could savor or just shoot. It’s called the Deflate Brady’s Fireball, and of course points towards the opposing team’s ball controversy. Also, Volterra Ballard will have a full day (12 to 7 p.m.) happy hour menu: each cocktail on it is $7 or 2 for $12.

Ray’s Café, Ballard
If you want to make your goal-line stands near the water while sipping a signature drink inspired both by the Seahawks and the Patriots, try Ray’s new cocktail, the Properly Inflated Balls. It contains Fireball whiskey, Absolut citron, lemonade, and blueberry-pomegranate purée, and will be available all day.

Stoup Brewing, Ballard
Rush into Ballard’s Stoup Brewing on Sunday to take part in its 2nd annual STOUPerbowl party. There will be screens aplenty showing the game, thus every taproom seat will have a great view. Big Spoon food truck will also be outside serving up chili. Also, you’ll get $1 off your next pint every single time the Seahawks score (and if last year’s any indication, that’ll be a heck of a deal). Also, Uber’s offering 12 percent discounts on rides to and from the brewery.

Slab Sandwiches + Pie, Capitol Hill
Looking for a great selection of food to roll out for a big Super Bowl party at home? Slab Sandwiches + Pie has special sandwich platters in honor of the year’s biggest game (but a warning: you’ll need to order by Friday, January 30 at 3 p.m.). The sandwiches include the T. Brady Fully Inflated Grinder with salame, coppa, prosciutto, smoked provolone, vinaigrette, and Mama Lil’s peppers, the Legion of Boom Burrata with burrata cheese, black olive tapenade, sun dried tomatoes, and arugula, and the Beast Mode with pork confit, 12-hour smoked brisket, crispy chicken skin, grilled scallion aioli, gruyere and pickles. Platters include one of each sandwich, a quart of sunchoke chips, caramelized onion and truffle dip and six of JM’s famous salted chocolate chip cookies.

Volunteer Park Café, Capitol Hill
For sweet treats to serve up at your home Hawks wingding, opt for the Seahawks offerings at this Capitol Hill cafe. Expect special 12th Man Cupcakes (in vanilla or chocolate) available for $3.50 each or $42 for a dozen, Hawks Cookies with green and blue M&Ms for $3.25 each or $32 a dozen, as well as helmet- and football-shaped sugar cookies for $1.50 each or $18 a dozen. Volunteer Park Cafe is also offering a savory stew of white beans, wild boar and braised pork in a smoked paprika broth, served with cabbage slaw, verde sauce for garnishing, and house-made cheddar cornbread. It comes in three-quart containers for $56.
