So heres what you do: If youre a fan of those gold and black Steelers, then grab your Terrible Towels and head to the Wayward Sailor Pub (3045 N. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale). Winner of New Times Best Sports Bar Award in 2009, this dingy porthole is lively, colorful, and refreshingly unrefined just like the Steeler Nation itself. Conversely, lets say the blood that runs in your veins is definitely gold in hue but resembles something more like an aged Wisconsin cheddar. First, get yourself to a doctor, man! But immediately afterward, don a cheese hat and point yourself toward Slackers Bar & Grill (995 W. State Road 7, Fort Lauderdale). Why do the Pack hang out at the Slack? Simple: Packers fans dressed in green and gold get to sit in their own private section at this fan-friendly watering hole. Plus, the management (which hails from Wisconsin) busts out authentic Green Bay grub during games, including beer brats and (get this) fried cheese curds. Now thats what we call festive.
