Gloucester Twp. Restaurants Ready For Super Bowl Sunday

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — Restaurants in and around Gloucester Township have been finding ways to promote their offerings in advance of Super Bowl LV, and Gov. Phil Murphy’s announcement that the restriction requiring bars to close at 10 p.m. is being lifted may help.

The Phily Diner and Sports Bar is offering Game Day Deals for the Super Bowl, which kicks off at 6:30 p.m. Sunday and airs on CBS.

The package includes two pizzas, a full tray of buffalo wings, a big box of loaded nachos, and a full tray of cheeseburger and cheese steak sliders for $175. It feeds 8-10 people.

Harper’s Pub in Clementon will offer 50 cent boneless wings $2 drafts, $4 mimosas and more specials to be determined. Others are just excited to be open beyond 10 p.m.

"We are absolutely enthralled to have the opportunity to extend our business hours for the first time in months, and we appreciate each one of you for your cooperation and understanding as we have traversed this path together," Cinder Bar Cross Keys posted on its Facebook page, noting that it would be open until midnight Sunday. "We know there is a long road ahead as we continue to navigate through the pandemic, but we would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge our staff, colleagues and teammates for their bravery and dedication as we approach the one-year mark for this unprecedented global phenomenon."

On Wednesday, Murphy also announced that indoor capacity could increase to 35 percent, up from 25 percent, effective Friday morning. Patrons are still not allowed to sit at the bar, and capacity must be capped at 150 people. Read more here: Gov. Murphy To Loosen NJ’s Indoor COVID-19 Rules
