From waterfront watering holes to lively enthusiast haunts, kick back at Miami's favorite sports bars.

    3460 S Ocean Dr, Hollywood, FL 33019 (map)

    Boaters can tie up their watercraft at this dockside joint, as landlubbers pile into the adjacent parking garage. The thrifty draw is the weekday Happy Hour, where drink specials and half-priced appetizers are available from 4pm to 7pm.

  3. 3 The Sports Exchange

    45 Miracle Mile, Coral Gables, FL 33134 (map)

    Leave it to an upscale bar in the heart of Coral Gables to merge sports with stocks. The digital ticker over the bar goes from updating stock quotes by day to sport scores and breaking news by night.

  4. 4 3 Star Rating: Average Scully's Tavern
    Read Reviews

    9809 SW 72ND St, Miami, FL 33173 (map)

    This "Best of Citysearch" winner in 2008 has won national accolades for its eclectic eats. There isn't another sports bar in the area that would dare to offer escargot and fried green tomatoes on the same menu.

  5. 5 3 Star Rating: Average Mr Moe's
    Read Reviews

    3131 Commodore Plz, Coconut Grove, FL 33133 (map)

    If the games get boring, it's always nice to know that guests can count on the mechanical bull and pool tables to turn spectator sports into participatory events. Coconut Grove has plenty of inventive eateries but this is the top draw for sport enthusiasts.

  6. 6 El Palacio Resort
    Write a review

    21485 NW 27th Avenue, Miami, FL 33056 (map)

    Legends Sports Grill isn't the fanciest or liveliest sports bar, but it's hard to beat the view. Perched on the ninth floor of El Palacio Sports Hotel, this family-friendly grill offers postcard-perfect views of Land Shark Stadium just a few blocks away. It's more than fitting when the Hurricanes, Dolphins or Marlins are playing at home.
