Where you watch the game is almost as important as the game itself…or so we've heard.
- Here's a roundup of spots hosting watch parties — plus a few we think will probably be showing the game, party or not.
Amerant Bank Arena: For each of the road games, fans can attend a watch party at the Panthers' home arena. Doors open at 7pm.
- A $15 ticket gets you a reserved seat, free parking and discounted food and bev options, with proceeds benefitting the Florida Panthers Foundation.
Baptist Health Iceplex: Watch the game on the big screen while skating.
- Then enjoy game day specials at The Federal Bar & Restaurant.
The Wharf FTL: The outdoor gathering spot will have giant viewing screens (with the sound on) for Games 2, 4, 5 and 7, live music during commercial breaks and food truck options.
Bokamper's Sports Bar & Grill: The Fort Lauderdale waterfront restaurant wants to be your watch party headquarters, with wall-to-wall TVs (full sound) and "unbeatable views from every seat" for all game nights.
The Brightside: You might end up on the local news at The Brightside, possibly Miami's most popular Panthers bar. But good luck snagging a table.
- The Coral Way bar isn't accepting any more reservations for Game 1 after receiving hundreds of emails and holding a lottery to allocate tables.
- For Game 2 tables, email [email protected] between 12-5pm Tuesday. Minimum 4 guests per table, maximum 6.
Regatta Grove: The Coconut Grove spot has two giant screens, plus multiple TVs, to watch the game with waterfront views. Closed Monday-Wednesday.
Yes, but: A handful of other breweries and bars, like Funky Buddha Brewery in Oakland Park and Fritz&Franz Bierhaus in Coral Gables, hosted watch parties during the Eastern Conference Finals.
- And while they've yet to announce events for Game 1, we'd advise checking their social pages tomorrow to see if that's changed.
