Need your annual fill of the US Superbowl? Then head to the Hard Rock Café, Platzl 1, Tel. 242 94 90, which is showing the sporting extravaganza live on a big screen. Ok, so the atmosphere’s probably not on a par with that at the stadium itself, but for € 17.95 fans receive a welcome drink, bottomless coffee and a half-time American buffet. The game starts at 10 pm on February 6. <<<
