Top Bars To Watch College Football In South Florida

The most wonderful time of the year is upon us — football season. The American pastime comes about and young kids in youth leagues to high school to college and professional teams all begin their regular season journey to the playoffs.

Kings Creek Village Tavern
8100 S.W. 81st Drive
Miami, FL 33143
(305) 273-6123
www.facebook.com/KingsCreekVillageTavern

Nestled in the quiet community of Kings Creek along the Palmetto Expressway and Kendall Drive is the Village Tavern. The bar has wood paneling on the floor so the authentic feel of an old-time tavern gives it a character that stands out in the suburbs of Kendall. For big crowds at sporting events, big screen TVs can be set up in the courtyard and in a space next to the tavern because the inside can fill up quickly. The tavern has great wings, chicken nachos and plenty of ice cold beer to satisfy thirsty customers. Keep on the lookout for live broadcasts by local sports talk radio stations here on game day also.

Mike's at Venetia
555 N.E. 15th St.
Miami, FL 33132
(305) 374-5731
www.mikesvenetia.com

Downtown Miami is beginning to rival Miami Beach with its character and locales available. Mike's is located poolside on the 9th floor of the Venetia condominium building right along the Venetian causeway. It's a great place to watch the game with its amount of TVs and its loyal crowd of regulars. Most, if not all, who come to Mike's relate it to a Miami version of Cheers, so talking about a great victory or a frustrating defeat afterwards over a round of beers is a must.
