Brooklynites who bleed black and gold won’t have to go far to watch the Super Bowl on Sunday, because the Brownstone belt boasts some of the liveliest Pittsburgh Steelers bars around.
Cody’s Ale House in Cobble Hill has been a haven for Steelers fans ever since a Pittsburgh ex-pat got a job as a waitress at the Court Street tavern.
“All the Steelers fans come in here with their ‘Terrible Towels,’” boasted manager Ann Gaffney, whose bar will offer beer specials during the Big Game.
At the Park Slope bar 200 Fifth, Steelers fans can watch the Super Bowl on 50 screens while downing Iron City — the watery brew that made the Three Rivers city famous. The pub will also offer a $45 Super Bowl open bar that includes an all-you-can eat halftime buffet.
But just because 200 Fifth regularly draws upwards of 60 Steelers fans, doesn’t mean that Pittsburghers shouldn’t expect some opposition during the big game.
“We always get a very large crowd of Steelers fans, but this being Brooklyn, I’d expect a bunch of Giants fans are going to show up and root for Arizona,” said manager Rob Michel.
Super Bowl XLIII is on Feb. 1. Kickoff is at 6:28 pm. Cody’s Ale House Grill [154 Court St. between Dean and Pacific streets in Boerum Hill, (718) 852-6115]; 200 Fifth [200 Fifth Ave. between Union Street and Berkeley Place in Park Slope, (718) 638-2925].
