I'll meeting some friends in Lafayette, IN (half way point to where we all live) to watch Super Bowl in a couple of weeks. Does anybody know any good bars to catch the game at? Is there a good street to bar-hop? Any hotels in stumbling distance from said bars? Thanks!

My favorite bar is Chumley's on 3rd street in downtown Lafayette. The place is freaking awesome. There are 50 different beers on draft and over 100 more by bottle. It's a sports bar, but if you are a beer snob you have to check it out. There are three or four really massive projection screens and plenty other flat-panel tvs around. The only problem is with the narrow floorplan, room can be sparse. Two other decent bars called Knickerbocker and Lafayette Brewing Company are very close by, and there is a brand-new Holiday Inn Select less than one block away.
