The Best Places to Watch the Super Bowl in South Florida

Chiefs or Eagles—no matter who wins, beer, wings, and HD TVs are always a sure bet.

There’s a line in the Dolphins’ fight song that says, “When you say Miami, you’re talking Super Bowl.” And since Miami hasn’t played in the Super Bowl in nearly 40 years, and only hosted it once since 2010, we can only assume the song refers to our city’s epic Super Bowl parties. Where else can you pick between a Brickell rooftop, a sunny pool deck, and a taco shop with a hidden backroom speakeasy? If you’re feeling super next Sunday, and the game itself is mostly secondary, here are the best spots around South Florida to catch the big game.

Brickell
$$$$

If you’re catching the Super Bowl after an epic boat day, or just want to watch with a view of the Miami River, head to AmSo in Brickell which’ll have the game on all its waterside screens. Pass the time downing $20 buckets of Bud, Bud Light, and Coors Light. Or go a little lower carb with $30 buckets of High Noon and Trulys.

Bayshore Club Bar & Grille

Bayshore Club

Coconut Grove
$$$$

The only people watching the Super Bowl more intensely than Eagles and Chiefs fans are people who wagered obscene amounts of money. If you fall into any other group, you may be well served to hit Bayshore Club, where they’ll have plenty other than football on the menu. Play corn hole and lawn darts in the tailgate area, or enjoy a $65 prix fixe menu full of wagyu sliders, chicken wings, sticky ribs and more.

Shoma Bazaar

It’s truly a dilemma for the ages, but one that’s easily solved by heading to Shoma Bazaar, where its $50 special includes a bucket of beers and a $25 gift card. So, you can grab an oversized cookie from Sweet Manifesto and a roll from Pubbelly Sushi, then post up outside in front of a 10 by six-foot screen.

Find out why this Super Bowl Sunday, when the taco maestros pour $7 margarita drafts and $25 margarita pitchers all game long. It’ll also have the best wing deal in Miami with $1 wings starting at 5:30 pm, and five-for-$25 mix and match buckets and seltzers.
