Five Spots to Catch March Madness

St. Patrick’s Day was good. You’re looking good. Everything is good. And it’s about to get better, now that March Madness is here. So here are five spots to consider for catching the action this week. Yes, fried chicken is involved.

FOR THE WING MAN

Bar Seats #6-9, Sam’s at Louis

You Require: Pterodactyl-sized wings. A view of the game.
You’ll Receive: A dead-center flat-screen vantage point of the action and Confit Turkey Wings. Also: Gunslinger cocktails, made with rye, lemon juice, ginger beer... and finished with a single malt scotch drizzle. Just like your Cheerios.

FOR THE NORTH ENDER

High-Top #2, Ducali Pizzeria

You Require: An unobstructed view of the game on a projection screen. Nachos by way of Italy.
You’ll Receive: Both. For the latter, think: homemade pizza-dough chips, mozzarella, hot peppers and spicy tomato sauce, which you’ll chase with Peronis as your Final Four picks come true.

FOR THE FINANCIER

Pretty Much Anywhere, Battery Park

You Require: Zero effort to see the games after work in the Financial District.
You’ll Receive: TVs of varying size in every direction. You’ll loosen the tie, grab a booth and catch the scores while retelling St. Patrick’s Day tales with office mates over rounds of Guinness, proving you can never have too much Guinness.

FOR THE LEATHER FAN

Theatre 1, Revere Hotel

You Require: A screening room for a really big Final Four private party.
You’ll Receive: The games streamed live on a film projection screen. Plus: 200-plus thrones of Italian leather, each outfitted with a personal table for whatever you have catered through the hotel. Sort of like your recliner at home, but better.

FOR THE SEC ALUM

Bar Seat #5, Estelle’s

You Require: A locals-heavy spot in the South End. And killer fried chicken.
You’ll Receive: A flat-screen in front of you. The cozy vibe of a Southern kitchen pumping out buttermilk fried chicken. And the ability to scream for your team over 22-ounce bottles of stout. You know: college basketball standards.
