Brunch at Puckers runs straight through Sunday's kickoff

Brunch at the sports grill on Mimosa Avenue goes nine to two with every screen on, so Sunday's one o'clock game lands in the last hour of it. The only indoor thing on this list.

Sunday, one o'clock, every screen

Puckers runs weekend brunch from nine to two on Saturday and Sunday, with the screens on the whole time. That is the offer, and this Sunday it collects a bonus: the Titans host Philadelphia at one o'clock on FOX, which drops kickoff into the last hour of the brunch menu. The room is at 115 Mimosa Avenue, it opened in August in the space that was Mimosas, and the brunch dishes survived the change of name.

Why it's the odd one out this week

Look at the rest of this weekend: nearly all of it is outdoors, and most of it is at Ijams Park. Puckers is the alternative — indoors, air-conditioned, and with Sunday forecast around ninety-three degrees that is not a small consideration. It is also the only room on this list where the plan can be nothing more ambitious than sitting down.

Parking is in the garage behind the building. If you want the bar rather than the brunch, Pucker Hour runs weekdays from five to six — a dollar for a Pucker Lager, three for well drinks and prosecco — though that is a Monday-to-Friday thing and not part of Sunday.
