Denver Broncos Sundays and Iowa Hawkeyes Saturdays Come to PB AleHouse
Every Broncos snap. Every Iowa drive. More than 30 screens light up at once in Pacific Beach, and the game sound is turned all the way up. That’s the scene now that football is back at PB AleHouse. The brewery and sports bar has become the headquarters for two fan bases who don’t usually share a bar. It welcomes Denver transplants chasing Mile High on the coast and Hawkeye faithful a long way from Kinnick Stadium, plus anyone who just loves a loud room on game day. Hawkeyes Saturdays open the weekend, while Broncos Sundays close it out. Between the two, PB AleHouse turns into four spaces of pure football noise.
PB AleHouse broadcasts every play with full audio across more than 30 screens spanning its rooftop, beer garden, patio and main dining room. Plenty of beach-town bars keep the volume low for the brunch crowd, but PB AleHouse puts the game first. Walk in on game day and the play-by-play reaches you before you find a seat, so there’s no need to lip-read the referees. Seating ranges from bar stools to rooftop tables with an ocean breeze.
Saturdays are Iowa Hawkeyes game days at PB AleHouse, drawing fans two time zones west of Kinnick. Black and gold gear fills the patio as the crowd swaps Big Ten updates and Iowa City memories, and DJ Grimm keeps the energy up between drives. The room knows true freshmen from transfer portal pickups, recreating Iowa tailgating without the cornfields.
Sundays flip the room orange and blue. Broncos fans claim their usual spots the minute the doors open, and the energy holds steady through four quarters of beer buckets and opinions about quarterbacks. Between the two fan bases, PB AleHouse rarely has a quiet football weekend from late summer through January.
Grab a table, get a bucket of Coors Light sweating in front of you and order a Bison Burrito or a round of Walking Tacos before kickoff. PB AleHouse anchors game day with a football menu designed for long quarters. The full lineup runs four deep: Walking Tacos, Green Chili, a Bison Burrito and a Footlong Green Chili & Cheese Dog. Walking Tacos pile chili beef, sour cream, shredded lettuce, cheddar, guacamole and cherry peppers over Doritos. They’re perfect for one-handed eating, leaving the other hand free for a beer. Green Chili is a green pork chili topped with cotija and diced red onions. The Bison Burrito packs ground bison, black beans, jalapeño crema, sweet potato fries, caramelized onions, cotija and guacamole into a flour tortilla. The Footlong Green Chili & Cheese Dog runs a full foot on a toasted bun, buried in green chili, queso and diced red onions for games that stretch into overtime.
Game-day drink options at PB AleHouse include six-beer buckets of Coors Light, Busch Light or Bud Light designed for sharing. The Ketel One Mule combines Ketel One Vodka with lime juice, Angostura bitters, ginger beer and a lime wedge for a crisp alternative between rounds. Crown Peach Green Tea mixes Crown Royal Peach with lemon juice and simple syrup for a sweeter option. Plus, the Casamigos Margarita is built on Casamigos Blanco Tequila, triple sec, lime juice and agave, finished with a lime wedge.
By the final whistle, PB AleHouse isn’t just another bar with a game on. It’s a destination built around football, with the screens, the sound and the menu to prove it. Come hungry, come loud and come ready to claim a seat, because once Hawkeyes Saturday rolls into Broncos Sunday, the good spots don’t stay open long.
