American football is gradually gaining many followers here in Hungary, and when the greatest annual game of this high-impact sport – the Super Bowl – happens this Sunday in Arizona, many Magyars and international fans will watch the match live in Budapest (despite the fact that kickoff occurs just after midnight here, and then the game stretches until almost dawn). All tables are already booked at some of the city’s most popular hotspots for Super Bowl viewing like TGI Friday’s and Hooters, but as of press time Saturday, there is still space available at the following ten taverns.
