13 Best Sports Bars near Bradenton Beach

“It is the best place to play bar games, watch sports and drink in Bradenton Beach. Don't believe it's something else because of were it is located. It is a dive bar that still allows smoking and has an operable cigarette machine. The bar tenders seem seasoned but what do I know. Free water!“

“Always bring my friends and family here to share the funky, key west Cortez experience. Dockside seating at tiki bar..seat yourself. Grab a dolphin or sunset cruise here, or a handmade necklace and a blackened grouper sandwich. Waitresses are a bit more patient after season slows down. This place is generally laid ba k and has live tines. Bring back the all you can eat crab special! LOVE swordfish grill and Tiki. Not sure if I'd dine here because of my anaphylaxis but my people really love it!“

“Had an AMAZING time at 88 Live with my favorite ladies! The Billy Rice Band rocked! They were AWESOME!!They score extra points for putting a huge smile on my aunt's face when they sang "Happy birthday" to her! Special shout-outs to Dawn and Ariel (our awesome servers!) along with Linda and Kathy (our dance floor buddies!)We will definitely be back! ???“

“In plaza in downtown Palmetto next to Walmart. It is noisy but it is a sportsbar. Has games, darts, and pool. My husband and I usually sit at the bar and no matter how busy they get our service has always been superb! Food is delicious, and great selection of beer. Definitely do the garlic cheese curds! I like the burgers and Jaxx chicken sandwich as well. Reasonably priced for quality of food. I would prefer a leaf of lettuce rather than shredded but that is just my personal preference.Parking: depending on time of day or night parking can be a challenge but for the most part we always get a spot.Kid-friendliness: a few games for kids and it is loud so no worries bringing the kiddos“

“I almost don't have words. The rooftop bar is spectacular. Their Philly cheese steak eggrolls (yeah, let that sink in) are incomparable. The sunset? Stunning. And their mixologists create the most amazing elixirs....truly a one of a kind experience.“

“Called when they were closed on a Monday and spoke to the owner Steve to ask some questions about their place for a place to go after our wedding at the Sand Bar. Steve answered all my questions thoroughly and gave recommendations for other places on the island even. Look forward to bringing all our guest there this April!“

“Our group left the bar next door because they wouldn’t change a TV no one was watching to the game we wanted. Bad Roo!PaddyWagon’s not only gladly changed the TV but they also had free wings and pizza and salad for game day! Now that’s how you win customers and keep them happy.PaddyWagon’s has pool and darts and a patio and a great atmosphere with a large bar. A downtown favorite. Thank you!“

“I've never been to Clancy's. I'm visiting from Michigan. My GF wanted to go watch the game. The service was great. There's plenty of TV's. The customers cheered at the game. This is a very cozy and relaxing pub with plenty of friendly people.“

“We absolutely love FOOD+BEER SRQ Rosemary District. Dom the manager is absolutely awesome especially leading his staff to success! Kat by far is OUR favorite we specifically go and see her at least 2/3 times a week. Her energy is contagious she is a huge asset to this company 100%. If your looking for great food friendly servers and a fantastic atmosphere support our local friends here at FOOD+BEER! - Sarasota Salvage“

“They have a food truck in the back. Our lunch plans fell through and a friend and I ended up here. We don't drink and we're happy to discover they served food. We tried the Korean BBQ steak tacos- yummy and crispy, 4 small, nice for a shared appetizer. And the chicken lettuce wraps- light, fresh and a little spicy, 3 wrap's appetizer sized. We didn't order enough food but what we ordered was very good.“

“As a Philadelphia raised guy, I am super happy with the quality of the food and theme of the restaurant. My Pizza Steak Sandwich was great and we enjoyed the appetizers (Pretzels and Pierogis). This is my favorite sit down spot to visit when I go down to visit my families house on the island. Imported Amoroso Rolls makes the experience enhanced.Parking: When parking is available, it’s convenient. But when it is during busy hours it may become scarce.“

“We go here quite often never had any problems. Bartenders are pretty great you might have to wait sometimes but they get pretty busy. Will be going at the end of October for my birthday with A bunch of people. Always have A good time. What nights are bingo would like to go after bingo is over on a Saturday night.“

“Stopped for drinks. Good bar service, beers & selection! Nice, local town bar. Good feel & vibe. Didn't eat. Games available there, pool table, darts, etc. Relaxed seating areas as well as tables. Animals allowed inside. Street parking.“
