Miami Sports Bars: The Complete Guide by Neighborhood

Miami doesn’t have one sports bar scene, it has six, one per neighborhood, and they don’t all want the same thing from a game. Brickell wants a projector and a happy hour. Wynwood wants sound on for soccer. Coral Gables has been doing this longer than most of the city’s bars have existed. This guide is organized the way you’d actually plan a game day: by where you already are.

Miami’s Sports Calendar

Sport	Season
NFL – Miami Dolphins	Early September – mid-February
Orange Blossom Classic	Early September during Labor Day weekend
College Football	Late August – early January, with the College Football Playoff running into late January
NBA – Miami Heat	Early October – mid-June
NHL	Late September/early October – mid-June
Soccer – Inter Miami FC	Year-round — no single season, between MLS, international friendlies, and tournament windows like the World Cup and Copa América

Most bars on this list show whatever’s in season without missing a beat. The exceptions are worth knowing: soccer-specific spots like Grails, Mickey Burke’s, and Fritz & Franz Bierhaus prioritize match sound over whatever NFL or NBA game is also on, which matters most from roughly October through May when NFL, NBA, and international soccer windows overlap.

Downtown & Brickell

Batch Gastropub

30 SW 12th St, Brickell — Local Pick Two massive projectors plus 16+ TVs throughout the space cover every angle, which is why this is Brickell’s default rather than its destination pick. Craft cocktails and elevated pub fare separate it from a straight beer-and-wings sports bar, and the happy hour crowd tends to stay through the final whistle.

American Social Bar & Kitchen

Brickell, on the Miami River 360° TVs cover the room from every angle, and the menu leans into shareables built for a group — hot dog and empanada towers, Club Level chicken wings, All-Star sliders, and chicken tenders, each paired with a choice of fries, chips, or Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. The waterfront patio pulls a bigger crowd than you’d expect even for a non-marquee matchup, with beer and seltzer bucket specials running through kickoff to the final whistle.

American Social Bar & Kitchen Miami

Brickell · Restaurant · $$

Where Brickell clocks out. Riverfront views, cold drinks, and the kind of crowd that turns happy hour into dinner without meaning to.

Black Market Miami

Downtown, with a second location at Bayside 30+ 4K screens and multiple viewing angles across a large indoor space, with private areas that can be reserved for bigger watch parties. Nostalgic touches nodding to Miami’s sports history give it more personality than the typical big-screen setup.

Cantina La Veinte

Brickell, waterfront 12+ TVs and giant projector screens make it one of Brickell’s biggest soccer draws on match days, with mariachi performances turning a regular Tuesday game into more of an event.

305 Sports Bar

919 Brickell Ave No frills here — wings, tacos, big screens, full bar — and soccer dominates the TVs over any other sport on a given night.

Lost Boy Dry Goods

Downtown Better known as a cocktail bar than a sports bar, it quietly becomes a low-key watch spot during major games without changing its identity.

Wynwood

Grails

2800 N. Miami Ave, Wynwood — Local Pick 75+ TVs with full sound and an indoor sneaker lounge make this the neighborhood’s default for soccer and NBA nights alike, with an outdoor Miami Vice-themed patio that fills up fast on Heat game nights. Reservations are worth making for anything beyond a regular-season match.

02

Grails Miami

Wynwood · Bar · $$

loud-good locals-only group-friendly

Wynwood’s sneaker-themed sports lounge and restaurant pairs game-day energy across 70-plus screens with a Miami Vice patio and creative craft cocktails.

Save View venue →

La Tropical

Wynwood Two giant screens plus multiple TVs across the taproom and garden run on synced sound, so there’s no dead zone anywhere in the space.

Bar Tulio’s

Wynwood Tacos, tequila, and every major match shown with sound on and no cover charge. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday until 7PM, which overlaps conveniently with most early-evening kickoffs.

THRōW Social Miami

2335 N. Miami Ave A 35,000-square-foot venue with five bars and a massive LED screen, built more for a night out that happens to include a game than a pure sports-bar experience.

Casa La Rubia

Wynwood (formerly Veza Sur Brewing Co.) A brewpub built around craft beer and Latin culture, with indoor and outdoor space that regularly turns into a fútbol watch party. La Rubia Blonde Ale anchors the taplist alongside the rest of the Veza Sur lineup, and salsa nights on non-game days keep the space in rotation beyond sports.

Upside

59 NW 28th St, Wynwood A music-driven lounge that leans more into a night out than a traditional sports bar, with TVs worked into the room and an elevated cocktail list beyond the standard beer-and-well setup. Watch parties and food and drink specials run through the season, and it’s new enough to the neighborhood that it hasn’t settled into a single identity yet.

03

Upside

Wynwood · Bar · $$$

Wynwood’s new day-to-night cocktail spot where the music is as important as what’s in your glass.

Miami Beach

The Clevelander

1020 Ocean Dr — Local Pick 20+ screens across the property, including a 20-foot LED and patio TVs plus rollaway screens, mean there’s genuinely no bad seat on this stretch of Ocean Drive. It leans into being an event as much as a viewing spot — expect DJs between plays and a crowd that treats game day like a party.

Mickey Burke’s

Washington Ave, near Española Way A neighborhood sports lounge that punches above its size, with a soccer-first crowd and sound on for every match, Premier League included.

Mac’s Club Deuce

14th Street A Miami dive bar in the true sense of the term — multiple TVs, stiff drinks, no frills, all character. It’s been doing this longer than most of the newer sports lounges on this list have existed.

04

Mac’s Club Deuce

Miami Beach · Bar · $

dimly-lit old-Miami late-night

Miami Beach’s oldest bar, serving stiff drinks, jukebox tunes, and old-school South Beach character from the same 14th Street address since 1926.

Save View venue →

Finnegan’s Way

Ocean Drive An Irish pub with unmistakable South Beach energy — multiple TVs, generous pours, and a crowd that isn’t shy about cheering. It’s the pick for early EPL kickoffs when most of South Beach hasn’t woken up yet.

South Pointe Tavern

South of Fifth Casual and dependable, with solid screens and elevated bar bites that go beyond the standard wings-and-nachos rotation.

Norman’s Tavern

North Beach A neighborhood classic since 1970 — unpretentious, deeply local, the kind of room where a regular customer greets three other regulars by name. Trivia nights and live music round out a calendar where game day is just one part of a bigger community habit.

Palm Tree Club

Miami Beach, on Biscayne Bay Open-air and built directly over the water, with easy boat access for anyone arriving that way. It’s less a sports bar than a scenic bar that happens to show the game.

Coconut Grove & Coral Gables

Fritz & Franz Bierhaus

Coral Gables — Local Pick South Florida’s soccer bar of record for nearly 30 years, with long communal tables and one of the largest indoor screens in Miami. It’s home base for the city’s Manchester United and Bayern Munich supporter clubs, so expect the room to fill with genuine soccer culture rather than a general sports crowd.

Bayshore Club

Regatta Harbour, Coconut Grove Grove Bay Hospitality Group’s waterfront bar and grill, with a spacious circular bar, marina views, and large TVs covering college and NFL games from the patio. Game-day plates run toward the 3 Amigos Smash Burger, a seafood tower, wings, and sticky baby back ribs — more built-out than the typical sports-bar menu.

Sandbar Sports Grill

Coconut Grove Food-forward for a sports bar — mahi mahi fish tacos, a steak Philly, and Joey wings pull as much of a crowd as the game does. A 155-inch outdoor projector covers the patio, and Taco Tuesday plus half-price draft beer during happy hour keep it in rotation beyond game day.

Graziano’s Mercado

229 S Dixie Hwy, Coral Gables The city’s main Argentina hub, with asador specials and a rotating beer collaboration that changes with the season.

Monty’s Raw Bar

Monty’s Raw Bar is a seafood restaurant and bar with a large outdoor patio. This is a great place to watch a Heat game if you’re looking for a casual atmosphere and a great selection of seafood dishes and drinks. Monty’s Raw Bar is located in the heart of Coconut Grove and is easily accessible by public transportation or car.

Little Havana

The Dead Flamingo

Little Havana A neighborhood bar built around a big-screen projector with surround sound, plus additional bar TVs so nothing gets missed from any seat in the room.

---

Little River & Upper East Side

The Citadel

Little River — Local Pick The food hall’s nine TVs and two giant projector screens cover every game, with rooftop views and enough food concepts under one roof to satisfy a group with mixed tastes.

Magic 13 Brewing

MiMo District, 340 NE 61st St Craft beer and a spacious beer garden make this a quieter alternative to the bigger sports bars, with free parking as a genuine perk in a neighborhood where that’s not a given.

---

Doral

PLAY Sporting Lounge

3450 NW 83rd Ave — Local Pick 60 televisions spread across two indoor/outdoor bars, with private Live Sports Simulator Suites for groups that want their own dedicated screen and space.

Doral Yard

Doral Open-air with covered turf and large screens, and the closest option on this list to Hard Rock Stadium — a good pre- or post-game stop for groups and families.

---

Reliable Chains, Multiple Locations

Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill

Locations across Miami Wall-to-wall TVs and signature ribs, a South Florida institution with drink specials that hold steady regardless of season.

Sports Grill

Six locations across Miami-Dade, including Doral 25+ HDTVs and a full liquor bar per location — if one’s packed, the next is only a few miles away.

Sports & Social

Dolphin Mall One of the largest LED screens in South Florida, built for a stadium-scale atmosphere on the biggest game days.

Duffy’s Sports Grill

Multiple South Florida locations Sound always on for major matchups, nothing else competing for attention, a crowd that stays locked in from kickoff to the final whistle.

Rocco’s Tacos & Tequila Bar

Multiple locations across Florida TVs throughout the dining room keep the game visible over tacos, nachos, quesadillas, and tableside guacamole, backed by an extensive tequila list and made-to-order margaritas.
