Best Sports Bars in Orlando with Great Food and Fun

These sports bars in Orlando have great food, killer drinks, and lots of TVs to catch all the game action!

You don’t often hear great food and sports bars mentioned in the same sentence. There are plenty of fun sports bars around town but the question is where can you watch your favorite sporting event in Orlando when you love food just as much as (or more than) the game itself?

I set out to find the best sports bars in Orlando to watch the Big Game – or any game, whether it be football, basketball, soccer, hockey, volleyball, take your pick – where you don’t have to sacrifice food for the sake of fun. Many of these restaurants are not your traditional sports bars. They offer the whole package: great food choices, in some cases very creative menus using local ingredients, killer drinks and beer selections, lots of TVs for a good view of the game, and a fun atmosphere, often including games and live music.

Whether you call Orlando home or are just visiting The City Beautiful, listed in alphabetical order, here are the favorite sports bars in Orlando. f
