Some invitees stopped for a slice in the East Coast pizzeria-inspired front half of the restaurant upon arrival, before making their way back to the dimly-lit, cozy tavern room to enjoy Italian-American classics and cocktails served from an old-school bar counter.

As guests began to rapidly flow into the party, the star running back happily greeted everyone as they excitedly embraced and congratulated him. The energy in the room was electric, with everyone amped up and eager to celebrate Barkley’s big night.

Barkley’s mom, Tonya, was in attendance, along with his siblings Rashard, Shaquona, Ali and Aliyah.

His best friend James Wah, who couldn’t be at the game or event due to injury, linked up with the team behind Beckham Jr.’s FRI&NDS, with the support of Cash App, to help produce the party, PEOPLE has learned.

The party went until around 3 a.m. local time, with an open bar, fresh pizzas and the tavern’s specialties being served. St. Pizzas owners Tony Biancosino and Abhi Bhansali greeted guests upon arrival, and kept the event running smoothly throughout the entire celebration.

“Guess what, your Daddy won a Super Bowl! Are you so excited?” asked a commentator.

Jada, who was sitting on her dad’s lap dressed in a denim jumpsuit, sweetly said to Barkley, “Congratulations, you’re my favorite,” to his obvious delight.

Barkley previously told PEOPLE that playing in the Super Bowl is"the best birthday gift"he could ask for. “The only thing better than that is winning the Super Bowl on your birthday,” he added at the time.

Now, Barkley can say he’s done just that.
