The Washington Commanders are headed to their first NFC championship game in 33 years.

Why it matters: If there was ever a time for Richmonders to break their Dry January — that is, if being out of running water didn't already do it — it's this Sunday.

Here's where to watch the Commanders take on the Philadelphia Eagles (ew) in the Super Bowl-deciding matchup at 3pm in Richmond.

The game will be on multiple screens, the beer will be flowing and fight songs will be sung.

P.S. Not all are watch parties with game day specials.

All Capital Ale House locations are fair game, but its downtown spot is one of the Commanders' official Fan Zones.

SkyBox on West Main Street will have a watch party after its brunch from 11am-3pm — aka, a pregame.

Benchtop Brewing on Hull Street will have a watch party with cheesesteaks and beer specials. 12-5pm.

Ironclad Sports Bar on McDonough Street: Grab a slice and enjoy the daily happy hour from 3-7pm (right on time).

Bar West on Grove Avenue has a watch party with cheesesteaks and brats — plus a pound of flat wings and a beer pitcher for $20. Reservations recommended.

Wood & Iron Gameday — tends to get jam packed quickly so get there early.

Parlay Bar & Lounge on West Leigh Street.

The Park has massive screens and the longest bar in the state.

Toast at Scott's Walk on North Arthur Ashe has a daily happy hour, which includes some $6 apps, from noon-6:30pm.

Stadium Sports Bar on North 18th Street has a jumbotron, a DJ and a watch party. Tickets start at $10 and include a drink.
