#6 Best Miami Sports Bar for The Super Bowl: Sport’s Grill

There’s always one thing that comes to mind when Super Bowl Sunday comes around, and it’s definitely not the game. We’re talking beer and we’re talking wings! Everyone in the city knows that the best place chicken wings are at the infamous Sports Grill. Whether it’s the garlic, MIAMI HEAT!, or the ridiculously popular Special Grill wings, there’s no other place that tops Sports Grill in this category. This Sunday will be no exception, as the game will be on each plasma throughout the entire restaurant and bar with plenty of beer specials that’ll keep the tap flowing and thousands of wings that will keep the grill busy.

#5 Best Miami Sports Bar for The Super Bowl: Tobacco Road

When you list the best sports bars for the Super Bowl Sunday in Miami, you definitely have to include the oldest bar in the city. Open since William Taft was president (1912), Tobacco Road has been serving its customers for nearly a century. This Sunday they’ll keep it simple for the big game and keep their Sunday specials and a kitchen that’s open until 4AM, for the late night cravers wanting one of the best burgers you can find in Miami.

#4 Best Miami Sports Bar for The Super Bowl: Mr. Moe's

The most happening spot in Coconut Grove week in and week out is Mr. Moe’s. Ranked as one of America’s Greatest Sportsbars by ESPN, Super Bowl Sunday at Moe’s will be just as packed if not more than their infamous Thursday night college party. With $4 shot specials and a late night happy hour including $2.25 domestics and $4 You-Call-It drinks, the majority of crowd coming out of Mr. Moe’s might be a little shaken up, that’s unless they get their hands on their hands on the best BBQ in the Grove.

#3 Best Miami Sports Bar for The Super Bowl: Sandbar & Grill

When it comes to big events like Super Bowl Sunday, Sandbar & Grill always delivers. However, beware, this is known to be turf for Steeler fans. They game will be on their projection screen directly outside the bar as well as on all of their plasmas inside. The entire bar will be decorated accordingly and games will be played throughout the day that’ll be accompanied with prizes. But it’s the combination of their shot specials and $4.25 25oz. Miller Light drafts that makes this one of the best sports bars for the Super Bowl.

#2 Best Miami Sports Bar for The Super Bowl: Finnegan’s On the River

Quite possibly one of the most underrated venues in the city, Finnegan’s on the River probably has the best location out of any bar, making it one of the best bars for the Super Bowl. While most venues have indoor bars with plasmas, Finnegan’s tops it with the same, only adding a pool and giant bar with plasmas outside as well! This Super Bowl Sunday their party starts at 2PM and doesn’t end until 2AM as they fill up their event with drink specials, contests and even giveaways. Whether you come by land, or even come by boat, this bar should be on everyone’s hit list.

#1 Best Miami Sports Bar for The Super Bowl: Gordon Biersch

Known for brewing some of the best beer in the city, Gordon Biersch’s combination of beer, food and location (Brickell being quite the posh area) makes it hard for one not to consider it. This Super Bowl Sunday, Gordon Biersch will be selling each seat at bar and restaurant. Reservations only!
