Football Sundays and the Perfect Pairing

Football Sundays are a time for fans to gather, enjoy the game, and indulge in classic pub food. At the heart of game day are two favorites: beer and wings. The right pairing enhances the experience, balancing flavors and satisfying cravings.


At Lombardi's Bar & Grill, we craft the ultimate football Sunday specials, combining a variety of wings with beers that complement every taste.


Choosing the Best Wings

Wing Flavors for Game Day

Classic wings are essential for football viewing. Popular options include:

  • Buffalo wings: Spicy, tangy, and a crowd favorite
  • BBQ wings: Sweet and smoky, perfect with darker beers
  • Garlic Parmesan wings: Rich and flavorful without being overly spicy
  • Honey Sriracha wings: Sweet heat that pairs well with light beers

Offering a mix of flavors ensures every guest finds their favorite.


Consider Portion Sizes

For football catering or bar specials, providing wings in large shareable platters ensures fans can snack throughout the game. Include bone-in and boneless options for convenience and variety.

Picking the Right Beer

Beer Types for Wing Pairings

The beer choice can elevate the wing experience:


Matching Beer and Wing Flavors

Pairing correctly enhances taste and enjoyment:

  • Spicy wings with light, crisp beers balance heat
  • Sweet BBQ wings with malty beers accentuate the smoky notes
  • Garlic or Parmesan wings with medium-bodied ales complement rich flavors

A thoughtful beer and wing pairing creates a memorable game day experience.


Hosting the Perfect Football Sunday

Plan Your Specials

Offering beer and wing specials attracts fans and increases foot traffic. Consider:

  • Happy hour deals: Discounted wings and beer flights
  • Combo specials: Pair a pint with a wing platter
  • Limited-time flavors: Seasonal or unique sauces for added excitement


Atmosphere Matters

Decorate for football Sundays with team colors, screens for multiple viewing angles, and festive music to enhance the game day vibe.


Encourage Group Orders

Group-friendly options like shared wing platters and beer buckets make hosting larger parties easier.


Tips for Football Catering

  • Include napkins and wet wipes to keep guests comfortable
  • Offer ranch and blue cheese dips to complement wings
  • Ensure timely service so food is fresh during key game moments
  • Consider pre-ordering specials for large groups

Catering preparation ensures a seamless experience for football fans.
