13 bars ranked by our editors. Miami is as much a sports city as it is a nightlife city. Watch the Dolphins, Heat, and Marlins with a frozen cocktail in hand.
Miami sports bar culture operates differently from northern cities: the outdoor component matters enormously. The best sports bars here have patios, misters, and fans that make watching a 1pm NFL game in October feel like a choice rather than a punishment. Gramps and Wood Tavern exemplify this Miami-specific approach to the sports viewing experience.
Miami has 4 major sports teams (Dolphins, Heat, Marlins, Inter Miami CF) plus a passionate international fanbase for Premier League and Champions League soccer. The bars that do all four well are rare, but Fado Irish Pub in Brickell comes closest with its 7am opening for morning European matches and evening NFL coverage. Bokamper's and Duffy's serve the serious fans, while Blackbird Ordinary attracts the cocktail-first crowd.
For game-day groups, Batch Gastropub and Bokamper's both offer reserved seating packages for NFL Sundays. Book at least a week ahead. For a change of pace after the final whistle, Miami's craft beer bars and hidden gems make perfect post-game stops. Planning a Las Vegas trip alongside your Miami visit?
