Duffy’s Sports Grill
Be the MVP at Duffy’s Sports Grill, a fun-filled, high-energy atmosphere restaurant. It's a great spot to watch any kind of game—especially the Dolphins or a Mayweather fight—from 100-plus televisions in the spacious dining room. If eating is more interesting than the game, order the baby back ribs, lobster roll or the artichoke and goat cheese flatbread. Pair them with one of the grill's tropical-flavored mojitos for a refreshing twist to sports-bar fare. There are locations in Coconut Grove, North Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Jupiter and more.
