Curbside service is fancy but boatside service is decadent. While most sports bars offer great beer specials and a glimpse of the game, Finnegan's River takes it one step further, utilizing Miami's many waterways to allow carpoolers and boaters alike to get in on the action. It has over 20 HDTVs at the bar and a pool so guests can chill out while watching the game. This is how Miami reinvents the sports bar.

Every good sports bar list has to include at least one dive bar because sometimes you just want greasy bar food, a hearty beer and a good view of the game.

Most people go for the game and stay for the juicy burgers. The atmosphere is open with pool tables, video games and a good menu selection of Florida wildlife like real alligator bites and cracked conch. It's not fancy but the best things in life don't need to be dressed up because it stands on its own.
