The big game is just one week away! Whether you’re rooting for the Eagles or the Patriots, or if you’re just tuning in for the commercials and Justin Timberlake, there’s one thing you can all agree on: you’ll need some tasty food and drinks to get you through. To make sure you get some, we’ve rounded up four haute spots in Miami with hot Super Bowl watch parties. Find out more about them, below!
MO Bar + Lounge
Completing Brickell Key’s idyllic skyline, The Mandarin Oriental, Miami {500 Brickell Key Drive; 305.913.8358} fuses sophisticated tastes with endless Biscayne Bay views. On Super Bowl Sunday, its stunning lobby bar, MO Bar + Lounge, will host a neighborhood “watch party” with $8 cocktails, wine and beer, and $5 light bites. The Social Hour menu will be extended to 9 p.m., too, so at those low prices, get as many short rib Tostones Sliders, sweet potato-tempura Gourmet French Fries, and Crispy Calamari with curried mango aioli as you want.
Cantina La Veinte
Reserve a table at Brickell Avenue’s haute Mexican enclave, Cantina La Veinte {495 Brickell Avenue, Brickell; 786.623.6136}, and cheer on your favorite team with a margarita in hand. In addition to the regular menu, Executive Chef Santiago Gomez will offer a special Molcajete menu just for the Super Bowl! Priced at $27, the molcajete can be made with shrimp, octopus, lobster, chicken or ribeye, and comes with your choice of sauce, homemade guacamole, or queso fresco. Get bottle service or $20 beer buckets, and watch the game anywhere you please—there will be TVs on the waterfront patio and a giant projection screen in the main dining room. This menu and drink deal will be available all day on Sunday, February 4. Reservations for Super Bowl Sunday are encouraged and can be made by calling 786.623.6136.
Fontainebleau Miami Beach
At the Fontainebleau Miami Beach {4441 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach; 305.674.4670}, turn your watch party into a pool party! Watch the game from a private poolside cabana, one with a 42-inch screen television, Wi-Fi, butler service, a mini refrigerator, a sectional lounge, chairs, tables, privacy curtains, ceiling fans, and even a digital safe. Cabanas will be available all day long, from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., and reservation, food, and drink packages will start at $450 each.
The Miami Beach EDITION
Head downstairs to Basement Bowl, at The Miami Beach EDITION {2901 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach 786.257.4548}, which will have the big game on all of its bowling alley TVs, projected on a wall above the DJ Booth, and projected in Larry Lounge. Starting at 5 p.m., there will be drink and bowling package specials, and dishes like Chips, jerk-chicken Quesadillas, Crudité, Cheeseburgers, and Truffle Fries will be available for purchase.
Happy dining!
