The Best Sports Bars in Orlando

La Fiesta Mexican Grill and Catering

★★★★☆ 4.2 (492) • $$

"I have been coming to La Fiesta for years... all the way back to when they were at their old location on the other side of Curry Ford. I am so glad to they moved because they can accommodate SO many more guests at their current location which is good so there's almost never a wait now. When we arrive, we are seated promptly. Almost immediately, we are served with the most delicious chips and salsa. The margaritas are on point, and their happy hour is a bargain. I've ordered many different items from the menu, but if you want to try a bit of everything, I highly recommend the Dinner for 2. It certainly can feed at least 2 people or you can bring home the leftovers for yourself. The cheese-covered burrito is probably my favorite, but the quesadilla and chile relleno are close seconds. Their fajitas are also outstanding!Service is always incredibly fast and friendly. To be honest, in all of my years of visiting, I can't think of a single negative experience. If you want authentic, fresh Mexican cuisine, look no further than La Fiesta."

Miller's Ale House

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (756) • $$

"This pub is part of an Eastern-US chain and one of several locations in Orlando. Of the 112 locations for Miller's in the US, the majority are in Florida. This location on International Drive was nestled amongst a plethora of other restaurants which presented a multitude of options. But my colleague fancied a pub for dinner, so we stayed with this choice.It was very busy when we arrived. We put our name on the list for a table for five and were told it would be 45 minutes. To their credit, it was more like 25 - 30 minutes before we were seated.It was packed with a noisy crowd. We were seated by the bar which exacerbated that condition. Despite the fact that it was a busy night, however, our waiter attended to us right away and did a fabulous job keeping up for our entire visit.Our party of five sampled their beer and wine options. I had their house red which was quite good. We started with Calamari and the Miller's-size TexMex Nachos. The latter featured melted cheese, guacamole, jalapeños, salsa and sour cream. These two proved to be a good start for us. For our mains between the five of us, we tried the Wings, the Philly Cheese Steak, the Prime Burger and Mimi's Fiesta Chicken and Shrimp (x2). I had the latter and was quite happy with the taste and the portion. Likewise, I think all of our party were quite happy with their respective choices.Our expenditure for the food, drinks, tax and tip was about $46 per person. This was a reasonable value considering the quality of the food and the overall experience. If you're in the area and appreciate pub fare, this place is worth considering."

Back Room Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 4.3 (430) • $$$

"This is a very delayed review as I thought I already wrote one! We dined at Back Room Steakhouse over the summer after learning about it from Orlando Weekly. We don't go to Apopka much at all but it sounded good so we figured we'd take the drive out there. Back Room is very unassuming, it's located in a modest shopping plaza, easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. My boyfriend and I each ordered an Old Fashioned (they have many varieties of Old Fashioneds if thats your thing) and elected to do the Bite30 menu. Like I said, this review is overdue but Bite30 includes an appetizer, entree and dessert. We each ordered our meals and bread was also delivered to our table. The portions of all items were great and the taste was excellent too. We both got steaks (because you kind of have to at a steakhouse, right?) which were cooked correctly and I got the short rib egg rolls for appetizer. My BF got the coconut shrimp for his app, we were both impressed! I'm so happy that we learned about Back Room, its a bit of a drive but now we know it's worth it!"

Miller's Ale House

★★★★☆ 3.5 (620) • $$

"This location used be one of my haunts when I was a young CP. They used to have drink specials & service industry nights all the time, not so much any more. This place is good for what it is - a sports bar. We were a VERY large group, celebrating a retirement. This place is great for big groups and the service was amazing! Our server was like greased lightning and gave us wonderful, individual attention. Their menu is very stereotypical, and as a vegetarian, there is really not much on here for me. Do I recommend? If you like sports bars then yes, this is your spot."

Kings Dining & Entertainment - Orlando

★★★★☆ 3.7 (374) • $$

"I've bowled here a few times in the past couple of years, the most recent time being today. I'm not sure how I manage to forget how nice this place is each time. Today, I had an amazing time bowling with a friend, I was surprised that we were able to finish 3 games and start a 4th in one hour. The race against the clock was starting to feel like a good workout. And the previous time I was here, I had organized a small gathering for my birthday.Each time, I was greeted and treated well by the staff. With or without a reservation, check-in was straight forward, and lanes are assigned as soon as they are available. They provide shoes if you don't have any and you can purchase socks for $3. Once at the lanes, you can enter in the player names for each lane and then its off to the races. One pro for timed bowling is that you have a better idea of just how the game is going to last unlike timed games which can drag on forever.The ambiance is set with a nice variety of background music - you may even see the video of the current song playing on one of the big screens. In the evenings, you might be privy to a DJ playing. A server comes around with menus and to take orders for food and drinks. I personally haven't ordered any food or drinks for myself so I can't say how tasty anything is or isn't. They do, however, seem to offer some decently price happy hour and drink specials.They also have a perks program that offers discounts, coupons, freebies, etc. to those that sign up. A recent e-mail with a perk was definitely behind why I chose to bowl here today rather than elsewhere. I think that I should start coming here a little more than every once in a long while."

Twin Peaks

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (403) • $$

"Ended up here because the Mexican place around the corner was pretty filled up (looks like one of the few restaurants catered to adults who are looking for a trendy New Age ambience, I digress)This is like Hooters, but cabin themed was one of the only women in the establishment besides waitresses. Cool for wings"

Tiki West Raw Bar and Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (250) • $$

"All you can eat crab legs on Thursday night! They were fresh, hot, and brought frequently! And the weren't those pathetic skinny things either! Great house-made sweet tea, and the gator bites were fabulous!Can't wait to come back here!!!"

Miller's Ale House

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (344) • $$

"Another chain where you know consistently what you'll get.Millers has been a staple for sports bars in Orlando for decades! I remember come here as a kid to play the crane games and watch football with my dad. Love the sports bar vibe.You have to get the Zingers, their signature meal. It's their take on chicken tenders tossed in signature sauces.The wait staff at all locations are pretty friendly most of the time. They do always seem in a rush though.I'll be back!"

Johnny's Fillin' Station

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (337) • $$

"Always good food, the station is a Conway staple everything is good and made well. Tried to leave a tip. But I ordered via door dash for pick up at the other side- the bartender seemed annoyed that it was done and I went on to explain I'm not the delivery drive I'm the consumer, I told him to ring me up for the cheapest item so I could leave a tip since I didn't online. Still didn't register and kept saying it doesn't matter because we don't get the tip"

Duffy's Sports Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (336) • $$

"So this was an amazing visit, the one we typically frequent is altamonte but we recently found out they were closed. Trivia night was tonight & though we did not participate it was fun listening to,!so if you love trivia give them a visit. Let's get into the mozzarella sticks i order these all the time. I have no close how they cooks them but man i love it and there wings never disappoint. That's all i got for this evening but try some of the other things on the menu. The vibe was great and my waiter Tony was lovely, fun and engaging."

McKennas Place

★★★★☆ 4.3 (202) • $$

"Every time we go to McKennas we are never disappointed. The food is always great along with the service and especially one of the bartenders Donna ! What a great place to eat drink and watch football. Give this place a try you will love it!!!"

Island Wing Company Grill & Bar - UCF

★★★★☆ 3.7 (251) • $$

"Simply sports bar concept with a tv at each booth, Island Wings offers great food and drinks.Of course, they are known for their wings. You can choose among traditional, boneless, or veggie wings with various spicy levels and marinations, and dipping sauces.We tried Buffalo kiwi and Jamaican jerk, with blue cheese. Delicious!We shared a Poke Salad and a Caribbean Shrimp. They were both yummy."

Miller's Ale House

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (326) • $$

"When I first saw this, I thought they only served Miller beer. From the outside and all of the locations around town, you'd think it would be a run-of-the-mill chain. I've become a fan of the chain and particularly this location. I've been here a few times and the staff has always been amazing and friendly.Their Wednesday Wing special is 1000% the reason I come. It's been $8.99 for 12 wings in your choice of sauce. That's crazy (in 2023 at least). A cold beer goes well with it too and they have specials on those too.They have other specials, and most of the things I've had on the menu have been great. Like the Iron Maiden song, Number of the Beast... I'm coming back, I will return!"

Miller's Ale House

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (326) • $$

"Came here for lunch on Tuesday. We were greeted immediately by the nicest hostess and seated right away too. We sat down at a booth and our waitress came up to our table to take our drink order. I ordered a diet coke, which is not uncommon for me. It was really crisp and delicious. For lunch, I ordered the blackened mahi sandwich with french fries.When I tell you that this was absolutely delicious, I'm not joking. I will definitely be ordering this at future Miller's ale houses because it was the biggest piece of mahi that I've gotten at a restaurant in a long time. I love when french fries are served with a slight pinch of pepper, too, which these were.Our waitress was so kind. She even offered to provide us to go cups for our diet coke. We will be back!"

Miller's Ale House

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (276) • $$

"No complaints. Our server was Matthew, he was very attentive and took care of all our needs. Everything was as expected from an Ale House. We visited on a Sunday, so all of the TV's were playing various football games. I ordered the Zinger Salad, which is a hearty salad. I asked to add onions and remove tomatoes, which they kindly did. We would return to this location and would recommend it to others."

Wreckers Sports Bar

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (382) • $$

"We had a great meal at Wreckers while staying at the Gaylord Palms. Chicken nachos to start were huge and flavorful, blackened salmon was cooked really well with delicious Cajun rice (and unless I'm eating Asian food, I'm not usually big on rice) and nice veggies. The mahi tacos were stacked. Good service from Alanis and a great cocktail from the bar (the gin/elderflower one was ace). Much better than average hotel/sports bar food."

Kitty O'Shea's Irish Pub and Buffalo Bar

★★★★☆ 3.5 (243) • $$

"I love Kitty's! If you're a Buffalo Bills Fan , you'll be right at home. But if you're not, you'll still enjoy this place! I've been coming here for over 10 years, to the point where some of the waitresses remember my name and order. Tends to have lots of tourists but equally as many locals inside. The wings are so saucy and so delicious, some of my favorites in Orlando. Chill vibe, great prices, I love Kitty's and will continue to come here weekly."

Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux - Lakeland Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (182) • $$

"Food, service, and ambiance was amazing! Definitely recommend this place!! We stayed for hours since our 2 waiters at the bar were such a job to talk to and they attended us very well."

Miller's Ale House

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (232) • $$

"This was pretty disheartening. We have been to many Ale houses and the food is pretty inexpensive but this was barely edible. Also we had a coupon for a free appetizer up to a certain price. They only took off about half and didnt consider the toppings as part of it. Very odd. Our server waa pleasant but the enture meal was icky."

Sportstown Billiards

★★★★☆ 4 (163) • $

"Ive been coming here for a while now and I absolutely love it!! See back in my bachelor days what I would do is go to an event right next door called Tasty Tuesday. I would get some food from there while on my dates and get to know them better. From there I would take them to Sportstown to see how competitive and fun they were. Let me tell yall, this place was the make it or break it point for a lot of them lmao. With their great bartenders we are quickly able to get drinks and start the games. I'm a gentleman so the lady always chooses the first game. With so many games to choose from and the dope, chill vibe; it's so easy to loose track of time while having fun.All in all it's an amazing Dive bar in the heart of Milk District, where you can come to play pool, ping pong, arcade games and more. Full service bar with a variety of cans and bottles. They also serve your typical bar food. You also gotta love a place with a jukebox!! Definitely a place worth checking out!"

Johnny's Other Side

★★★★☆ 3.5 (191) • $$

"It had been years since I had been to Johnny's Other Side. We decided to go one Sunday to watch the football games. Overall, a great place to watch Sunday football, as they have the NFL ticket. Kid friendly too, however, since it is "outside" so smoking is allowed. Food - not many items on their menu. However, on the weekends they do have a brunch menu too. Brunch is served from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Food was decent and came out quickly. I had the turkey Rueben. Drinks - they have drink specials on the weekends aka "liquid brunch." Plenty of beer choices to choose from and a huge selection of bourbon if that is your thing. They also have the Heineken 00 which is a huge hit for me while being pregnant. I still can partake in the football vibe. Overall, a great place to spend some time on the weekend."

Rix Sports Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (196) • $$

"We had breakfast here and dinner the next day. He got the breakfast plate and I got a side of eggs. He shared his bacon and toast with me. It was much better than the breakfast in the cafe which was like "hotel breakfast" For dinner, I got the chicken sandwich with mac and cheese and he got the shaved steak sandwich. Both were very good and so convenient being right at the hotel after a long day. We enjoyed the walk back to the room. Everything was lit up so beautifully. Tip: I grabbed a late night Mickey ice cream from the cafe on the way back to the room :)"

Jax 5th Avenue Deli and Ale House

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (205) • $$

"Live music on Fri night was a spectacular way to start the weekend. Our waiter was on point and friendly. The vibe is casual and inviting. We got to pick our table outside it was awesome. We loved our food it came it fast and the potato skins were delicious. The wings and ribs were yummy. Recommend this spot."

Kiwi's Pub & Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (126) • $$

"Wow! I have lived 3 miles from this bar for decades and this was my first visit. Shame on me! This place was hopping on a Tuesday night. You can't tell from the outside that this hot spot is huge inside and by 7pm it was packed. They sponsor a variety of events from trivia to pool tournaments. The food is OK, it's bar food but the service was very attentive."

Hooters

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (188) • $$

"I must say this place had the best Hooters experience for me!!!Food was amazingly fresh, attentive service. Steak quesadillas, mini sliders, parmesan chicken tender bites, wings, shrimp. They were all fantastic.Very convenient location close to airport.Only i didn't like to sit close to the door. We weren't given any other options, had to take it."

Miller's Ale House

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (189) • $$

During a recent visit with my sister, we were treated to a culinary journey that exceeded our expectations in every way.The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the chicken flats. Each bite was a symphony of flavors - crispy yet not oily, juicy, and bursting with deliciousness. The garlic parmesan sauce stole the show, with its rich aroma and savory taste that had us craving for more. The mozzarella appetizer was a perfect start to our meal, with its gooey cheese and crispy exterior that left us wanting more.The two sauces provided, ranch and garlic parmesan, were the perfect accompaniments to the chicken flats, complementing their flavors beautifully. Whether dunking the chicken or simply savoring the sauces on their own, each dip was a burst of indulgence.The service at Miller's Ale House was impeccable from start to finish. Our waiter was a delight, attending to our every need with a smile and genuine warmth. Constant refills of water and prompt attention to our requests made us feel truly valued as guests.

Canoe Creek Sports Tavern

★★★★☆ 3.8 (121) • $$

"I went here with some friends and enjoyed our time here. We were able to sit in the bar area, and get appetizers throughout the evening. They also had regular tables and what looked like an outdoor space as well. The food was really good! We got potato skins as well as chicken nachos. Overall we enjoyed the meal and will likely be back in the future!"

Friendly Confines

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (147) • $$

"Friendly Confines has been around for quite a few decades. The first one I found was in Waterford Lakes Town Center, but that location closed years ago. Maybe it was even more than a decade ago (and I think it may have closed over ten years ago). Anyway, this place still remains.The business name comes from the term Friendly Confines as a reference to Chicago's Wrigley Field. So, the ambiance of this bar is geared towards Chicago and its sports teams.I did not have the food here, I was just here with a few friends for a drink. It was an overall positive experience and I would recommend here if you are in the area. This location is by Aloma and Semoran. Also, I think this is the only Friendly Confines location left.Overall, I will give Friendly Confines an overall rating of five stars."

716 Burgers & Brew

★★★★☆ 4.1 (101) • $$

"My wife, daughter and I went to 716 Burgers and Brews for lunch. Our server Katelynn was friendly, greeted us with a warm smile and interacted with us as if we were neighbors. My wife and daughter shared a Shrooms and Swiss burger and Reuben. I had a Rodeo Burger with house chips (homemade potato chips.) We shared a basket of onion rings. The onion rings, and fries were fresh and hot, nothing from under a heat lamp. I will take pictures on our next visit. Oh, we are going back! We christen 716 Burgers & Brews - Northside Fat Jacks."

Gator's Dockside - Saint Cloud

★★★★☆ 3.5 (138) • $$

"Pretty darn good place! Plenty of parking, bathrooms were decent. Tables were clean enough and menus were barely sticky. The food was ample portions and the waitress was a sweetheart. She made us feel very welcomed and kept coming around to check on us and our food. We had a cauliflower buffalo appetizer + a gyro with extra tzatziki sauce. Their tzatziki sauce is pretty much sour cream. But everything was very tasty. It's a really cute place for the middle of Florida and surprisingly good."

Beef 'O' Brady's

★★★★☆ 3.5 (136) • $$

"I love wings... specifically HOT wings and the bone-in wings here are exactly what I wanted. It seems out of the similarly themed restaurants that offer "hot" wings, this is the only place that actually burns my mouth and brings tears to my eyes... the ATOMIC wings are the "bomb"... can I say that? I went to high school in the 90s, so yeah!!!!!I ordered the platter that comes with 8 wings, fries and slaw. I think you can order other sides, but I actually do like coleslaw and their slaw is just right for me here ... not too overly sweet either.My wife ordered a sampler appetizer with onion rings, chicken tenders, cheese quesadillas, onion rings, and mozzarella sticks. She really likes the onion rings... none of the items were too overly cooked or greasy... I mean the rings were greasy, but you expect that... LOL... the batter was good.I know where I am coming back for my wings... to burn my lips and make-a-me cry!!!!!!!"

TGI Fridays

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (234) • $$

"Always a good place they have new things on the menu and the sour passion martini is phenomenal. Takes me back to France sipping a porn star martini . Server was great. Ambiance was cool it was Super Bowl day"

Miller's Ale House

★★★★☆ 3.7 (111) • $$

"This is an update for a review I left about a month ago. I was first contacted by the guest relations team on Yelp, and then by the manager of this specific location on the phone. The manager apologized and explained they do have a special butter for the crab legs. We're not sure what happened that day. I went back to the restaurant to give it a second chance and I was actually able to meet the manager in person. She was very nice, professional and polite. I got a $25 giftcard which I used to try a different dish. This time I got steak with broccoli, mashed potatoes and gravy. The steak was cooked exactly the way I ordered it, the broccoli was al dente, and the gravy was perfectly seasoned. The only thing I wasn't a fan of were the mashed potatoes, but that's just personal preference. There was nothing wrong with them.This time our server was much better. She was very friendly and attentive. She even gave us a free brownie, which was absolutely delicious. The dessert was 10/10 and it was a very good portion. We couldn't finish it between two people. This Miller's location definitely stepped it up with the customer service, which for me is very important.This time we sat at a booth on the patio and had a great time. The colorful lights, the TVs and the people at the bar made it a really joyful experience."

Miller's Ale House

★★★☆☆ 3 (163) • $$

Cheers Sports Bar & Liquor Store

★★★★☆ 4.2 (78) • $

"Pizza Puffs! Pizza Puffs! Pizza Puffs!I went here for the first time and had their Chicago Pizza Puffs as well as their Lemon Pepper Wings. They were absolutely delicious!I enjoyed the Pizza Puffs so much that I couldn't even wait to let them cool down a bit before going all in. Perfect combination of flavors mixed into a delicious snack.Their Lemon Pepper wings were also so delicious. I've had wings from a multitude of spots before and these definitely are up there in taste. Ambiance is so nice here and the staff are beyond friendly. At the bar and they were super quick with greeting me and taking the order.Highly recommend for a nice chill evening out that you want to play pool and eat without a concert in the background. Watch some sports and enjoy yourself."
