Top Bars In South Florida To Watch 2015 NFL Opening Games

The countdown to the start of the 2015 NFL season is underway, and in South Florida, there's a buzz in the air that hasn't been felt in decades. Following one of the most productive offseasons in recent memory, the Miami Dolphins are not only gearing up for the playoffs, but also for a potential trip to Super Bowl 50. It's going to be interesting to see what kind of splash Ndamukong Suh, Jordan Cameron and Greg Jennings make in their respective aqua and orange debuts. Unfortunately for Fins fans, Miami will spend their opening two weeks of the season on the road at Washington and Jacksonville. Thus, the following top spots to watch the opening games of the 2015 NFL season are vital for all South Florida football fans.

Anyone who lives in or near South Florida knows that Sports Grill's "special grilled" chicken wings are among the best in the Sunshine State.

Sports Grill Kendall has over 25 high-definition televisions, a full liquor bar and plenty of drink and food specials for the upcoming NFL season. Hours of operation are Sunday thru Thursday from 11 a.m. to midnight, and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. Stay ahead of the curve before the 2015-16 NFL season starts by texting "SPTSGRILL" to 49798 to join Sports Grill's MVP text club, or visit the website for more information.

Because football is synonymous with burgers and brews, Beer & Burger Joint's Brickell location has to be included among South Florida's top spots to watch the opening games of the 2015 NFL season.
