The best Super Bowl watch parties and deals in Miami

Wynwood’s favorite sports bar throws down the game-watching gauntlet with 70 TVs and a giant projector screen. The party here is an open-bar-slash-buffet affair for $200 a head, and if you’re thinking about it, you should definitely book in advance. But you can also score a VIP table starting at $400 for two -- less of a communal party but definitely more of a baller move.

Shuckers manages to combine sports bar with waterfront seafood restaurant into an all-year party, and so expect nothing less for the Super Bowl. With 30 TVs at the bar, a cast of regulars who will stand three-deep for a drink and a long history of rent-saving happy hour specials, this is one hell of a party place to see the game.

Downtown’s best, and often most fun, cocktail bar has put together a Super Bowl lineup that seems right on theme. There’s IPAs and Estrellas for $5, Jack shots for $7, a half dozen wings for $16 and smashburger sliders for $14. Is there really anything else we need?

If you need more South Beach vibe in your Super Bowl, the rooftop bar atop 1 Hotel South Beach will provide just that. Book a private poolside cabana to party through the game from 18 stories above the sand. Each cabana has its own TV and an a la carte menu that includes, of course, bottle service. 

If the excitement on the endzones aren’t enough for you, King’s Dining and Entertainment has bowling, arcade games and huge screens to keep you entertained through the fourth quarter. The menu is football-appropriate (burgers, pizzas, wings), and with the specials Kings served up all through the season, expect something championship-worthy for the Super Bowl. 

Black Market is the go-to sports bar for Downtowners, and Super Bowl Sunday is sure to draw in a crowd. The menu features elevated standards like cheddar bechamel mac n’ cheese, loaded fries or a filet mignon sandwich, plus decently priced drafts and margaliters (only at the Bayside location).

Do a little jig: this landmark pub is the Irish heart of Miami, with plenty of boozing and bonhomie. Root for your favorite team (and pray for some of that old Irish luck) while guzzling cold beer and noshing on classics like fish and chips and baby back ribs. Multiple TVs and more than 400 types of whiskey ensure you'll have a good time no matter who wins.

The open-air restaurant that headlines the Coconut Grove marina held its inaugural Super Bowl event last year and immediately became a solid spot for Super Bowl viewing. It’s not just the TVs blanketing the bar area but also the lawn out front, where tailgate-like games serve as a good spot for your own big game. 

Play a game while watching the big game. High-tech mini-golf lounge Puttshack will broadcast the event on their numerous large screens, ensuring you don't miss a single moment of the action. Plus, they've really nailed international pub bites here, with items like buffalo chicken dip, Lebanese hummus and a bacon jalapeno cheeseburger to satisfy all of your party's cravings. 

With waterfront views, two giant screens, surround sound and a variety of table packages, Regatta Grove offers up a pretty idyllic game-watching experience. Enjoy cocktails and eats from the breezy destination's award-winning chefs while gathering around at one of the many picnic tables or bar seats. Event coverage kicks off at 5pm. Note that after sundown, the venue is strictly 21+.

When Brickellites want to catch any game, they know to go to Batch gastropub. Expect beer bucket and pint specials, plus plenty of elevated sports bar fare gnocchi mac with “Dorito dust,” grass-fed burgers and brick oven pizzas.

Wynwood’s O.G. taco and marg-fueled speakeasy participates in Game Day with a very tempting deal to keep the party at home. Celebrate with a customized build-your-own taco bar, half-gallon of margaritas ($40) and a new DIY michelada kit ($20.24) that includes six mini Modelos Especial and all the fixings. Pre-order is available from all Coyo locations.

Oh, so you’re looking for a Super Bowl party-party? Wynwood Marketplace has over 30 large LED screens, INFINITE sound system, ten bars, plenty of food and a DJ to keep you moving during all the breaks. The watch party begins in the afternoon and, well, who knows where this night will end up?

While yes, the game will be on all the big screens in every corner of the place, there are also lots of other reasons to hit this always-busy spot, which has several South Florida locations, including Aventura, Midtown Miami, Coral Gables and Doral. The food is good too, including a burger that just might steal the show from the game.
