PITTSBURGH —
If your Steelers gameday plans don’t include a flight to Paris – don’t worry, there are plenty of places to cheer on the “Black and Gold” in Pittsburgh.
Bottlerocket
Bottlerocket in Allentown will open its doors at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday ahead of the 9:30 a.m. kickoff. This won’t be a typical Steelers watch party, as the social hall is putting a French twist on its festivities.
“We’re going to have the Pittsburgh chapter of the French Alliance (Alliance Française) here giving some French lessons. They’ll be doing that before and during halftime. We will have a mime doing some stuff in between quarters,” bar manager Samantha Torek told Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 Reporter Jordan Cioppa.
Primanti Bros.
Pittsburgh staple Primanti Bros. will celebrate the international game by offering half-price drinks at most locations, starting at 9 a.m.
“For more than 90 years, we’ve been putting French fries on top of our sandwiches. So, there’s no better place to watch this French-Paris Steeler game than in the biggest French fry place you can find, which is obviously Primanti’s,” said Ryan Wilkinson, the vice president of marketing.
Tom’s Watch Bar
Tom’s Watch Bar on the North Shore will open at 9 a.m. for the game. Kitchen manager Art Shelton said they are expecting a full house.
“It should be really exciting here this Sunday,” Shelton said.
Bakery Square
Bakery Square will transform into “Boulangerie” Square Sunday morning. The Steelers Paris Watch Party will kick off at 9 a.m. on at the Bakery Square Courtyard. Fans will get to watch the game on the outdoor big screen, while enjoying a lineup of French-themed giveaways and festivities including trivia, a live roaming mime, face paint, a 3-D Eiffel Tower chalk art, a Paris photo booth, and more.
Organizers said City Kitchen will open at 9:30 a.m. with a full bar and select menu items.
Pittsburgh Brewing Company
WTAE is teaming up with Pittsburgh Brewing Company in Creighton to host a watch party. The ticketed event is open to people of all ages. General admission tickets are $5. The Brew House Bar will open at 8 am for GA ticket holders, before doors to the taproom open at 9 a.m.
VIP pre-game breakfast tickets are sold out, according to the venue’s website.
