Epic Game Watching at Resorts & Theme Parks 

At the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center, the upscale-casual Wreckers Sports Bar is a game day treasure with its towering 37-feet-tall screen, more than 50 HDTVs, and multiple levels of game viewing. Its diverse menu features favorites like chicken nachos and burgers plus elevated fare like homemade buttermilk chicken tenders and tacos with beef barbacoa or blackened mahi. Wash it down with a beer, seltzer, wine, or Florida-themed cocktail. 

For a high-energy vibe, it’s hard to beat City Works Eatery & Pour House in the entertainment area of Disney Springs. City Works calls itself “a wonderland for score-crazy fans,” and with huge HDTVs at every angle, their description hits the mark. The menu features American classics with an upscale twist and an impressive selection of drinks, including more than 90 craft beers on tap! 

At NBC Sports Grill & Brew, find a steady stream of sports coverage on nearly 100 high-definition screens. Located in Universal CityWalk, this bar and restaurant features a crowd-pleasing food and drink menu and an indoor-outdoor beer garden. There’s also a wall of foosball tables inviting you to test your skills – perfect for a half-time break.

The Best Local Sports Bars & Restaurants  

Promenade at Sunset Walk 

You’ll find many solid options in Promenade at Sunset Walk, a dining and entertainment hub near Walt Disney World® Resort. Enjoy the game and vintage vibes at Ford’s Garage, where they break away from 1920s service station theme with large TVs throughout the restaurant. The menu includes game day staples like wings, buffalo chicken dip, their popular Burgers of Fame, and several healthy options. While music is the star at Rock & Brews, they make room for sports on their many TVs. Enjoy the full bar, scratch-made comfort food, and if you have your pet in tow, the dog-friendly patio.   

Blend game day viewing with British pub style at Yeoman’s Topgolf Swing Suite. Find multiple TVs and a brilliant cocktail menu spanning mules, “Fancy Fizzies” for refreshing spritzes, and “Brown Bevvies” for darker spirits. There’s also tempting shareable plates, various types of macaroni and cheese, and delicious mains, including (of course) some of the best fish ‘n’ chips in town.  

Across the street from Sunset Walk, Miller’s Ale House is magnet for local sports lovers with many TVs playing a variety of games and a menu full of crowd favorites. Down the road, Sickie’s Garage Burgers & Brews is another good game-watching spot. Besides all the big screens, you’ll find a menu with 50 different burgers and beers – the Glazed Doughnut Burger and boozy milkshakes are a highlight. Nearby, Draft’s Sports Bar & Grill at Westgate Vacation Villas draws family and friends with its many TVs, tasty pub fare, and welcoming fire pit. 

Old Town 

At Old Town Kissimmee, an entertainment area with a nostalgic vibe, you can catch sports games playing at casual bars and restaurants like Southern Breeze. With several TVs and a menu big on frozen cocktails and casual Southern fare (including gator bites), it’s a fun place to see the game, and maybe one of Old Town’s classic car shows, if you time it right.  

Celebration 

It turns out that the idyllic community of Celebration is also a pretty ideal place to watch some football. At Celebration Town Tavern, enjoy the cozy feel of a family-owned neighborhood bar as you watch the game. The menu is inspired by a New England tavern, so expect seafood favorites like hot lobster rolls, clam strips, jumbo shrimp, and a range of fish, plus burgers, steak, pasta, and more. 

Downtown Kissimmee 

In historic downtown Kissimmee, 3 Sisters Speakeasy is great for watching the game while enjoying elevated casual fare like sushi, gourmet burgers, and mahi tacos. There are multiple TVs throughout, including a couple of large screens at the welcoming bar area. Around the corner at Big John's Rockin' BBQ, find big TVs playing sports and some of the best wood-smoked BBQ in town. Some might say their slow-smoked brisket, homemade sauce, and a good sports game are a match made in heaven.  

A short drive away, the Fox & Hounds Public House is a small pub serving up proper British food and football – both the American and British kind. Snack on fish ‘n’ chips, shepherd’s pie, scotch eggs, or keep it classic with some wings.
