20 August 2025

NFL football season is back, and Smashin Crab, River North Ice House, Finnegans Sports and Spirits, and Embers Wood Fire Restaurants are the go-to hotspots this season. From $1 wings and ice-cold draft beers to wall-to-wall flat-screen televisions, guests can count on great game-day views and specials at select locations.

Smashin Crab

Smashin Crab is bringing back its fan-favorite $1 wings every Sunday at all three San Antonio locations, now through the end of the NFL football season. To take advantage of this unbeatable deal, guests must purchase 20 wings or more. Starting at kickoff each Sunday, fans are invited to dine in at Smashin Crab, enjoy the games on the restaurant’s flat-screen TVs, and indulge in $1 wings. Football watch parties at home can get in on the action, too. The promotion is available for takeout orders placed through Smashin Crab’s website. In addition to the Sunday promotion, guests can relax and ease into the week ahead with Smashin Crab’s craft cocktails.

River North Ice House

Football fans are invited to River North Ice House, the ultimate destination for watch parties. With 20 TVs and two massive LED walls, guests won’t miss a single play. Whether rooting for one team or keeping up with them all, River North showcases every game day in style. Beyond football, guests can enjoy arcade games, live music, and bites from Tacoqueto. To top it off, River North offers an impressive beverage selection, including more than a dozen beers on tap, shareable gallon cocktails, frozen favorites, and non-alcoholic options. Guests also enjoy free parking at River North. For more information and to view the bar’s weekly events, please visit their website.

Finnegan’s Sports and Spirits

Best sports bar winner, Finnegan’s brings game day to everyone.
