Brasserie Azur
Still don’t have Super Bowl Sunday plans for tomorrow? Depending what you’re into and where you want to go, Miami has a little something for everyone.
Pick what works best for you:
For an easy Super Bowl Sunday: Brasserie Azur
Who’s ready to see a showdown?! If the game is already stressing you out, don’t let the watch party make it even worse. At Midtown’s Brasserie Azur {3252 NE 1st Avenue, Midtown; 786.800.9993}, enjoy the game with multiple large TV screens, surround sound, and most importantly, happy hour specials: like $3 draft beer, $5 craft cocktails, $5 wine, burgers, pizzettas, papas bravas, and more. These specials will run from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.
For the luxury sports guru: The Lounge at The Setai
If you don’t know which team you’re rooting for, let your drink(s) decide. Tomorrow, head to The Lounge at The Setai {2001 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach; 305.520.6000} and sip on special cocktails named after the teams battling it out: the Atlanta Falcons and the New England Patriots. Inspired by the Patriot’s red, white, and blue colors, the Patriots Cooler mixes vodka, Campari, peach puree, citrus, simple syrup, and Blue Curacao. For a more Southern Flair, the appropriately named Falcon Sour mixes Bourbon, citrus, simple syrup, and grenadine, and tops it all with egg whites.
For sports fans who love good seafood: Izzy’s Fish & Oyster
If you like your sports with a side of seafood (or really, the other way around) watch the big game at Izzy’s Fish & Oyster {423 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach; 305.397.8843}. While there, choose from Izzy’s regular menu or feast on a special Super Bowl, New England-style buffet.

For lovers of whiskey, tequila AND football: South Pointe Tavern
SoFi’s newest hotspot, South Pointe Tavern {40 South Pointe Drive, Miami Beach; 305.763.8368} is already impressing Miamians by having the largest collection of whiskeys and tequilas on Miami Beach. And now, these same drinkers can get amped up for the tavern’s Super Bowl Sunday specials: 50% off Budweiser and Yuengling beer, $6 Gameday Sangria, and $1 Pigs in a Blanket. Still hungry? Ask for the menu—South Pointe Tavern has a famous Pastrami Reuben Sandwich that will call you back for more. These game day specials will start at 6 p.m.
For those who want to watch the game poolside: Fontainebleau Miami Beach
What’s better than a pool party?! Tomorrow morning, head to the iconic Fontainebleau Miami Beach {4441 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach; 305.538.2000} for a game day experience in your very own poolside cabana. Watch the game from the cabana, or join the masses and cheer on your favorite team from inside the Arkadia pool—a large 9 x 16 foot television will be on display right on the Arkadia pool deck. Aiding the celebration, each cabana will come with a 42-inch flat screen TV, wireless Internet, a mini refrigerator, a phone, a digital safe, and your own personal butler service. Happy Super Bowl!
