Maybe you’ve seen NFL action at your local hangouts all season, and you’re ready for change. Maybe you’ve been watching soccer at home throughout the season, and you’re ready for someone else to take out the wing sauce from the carpet. Maybe you’ll get together with friends across the big city and need a central location. By the way, you may just want to level up for the highest level game of the season. Orlando options, sports fans. There are some high-end hangs from big games this weekend or anytime.
Stadium Club, Caribe Royal Orlando
Two levels. Two bars. Over 9,000 square feet covers countless television screens, including a 110-foot-long ribbon display screen that allows for 360-degree viewing. This will make the Caribbean Royal Orlando “sports bar” much bigger than what’s in your neighborhood shopping plaza, along with high-tech sports experiences, craft cocktails and all the game day snacks you’d like.
Since opening over a year ago, the Stadium Club has hosted all striped watch parties, but there is no need to limit visits to large events. Or a date and a friend-only night. This place is family friendly every day, and is lively after it gets dark (think live DJ).
Whether a professional-level sports simulator means honing your golf drive or then calculating the accuracy of Tom Brady’s passing, you can be completely immersed in your chosen game. There are also more arcade style products that are more familiar to you if someone needs a break from sports. Wings, burgers, and even tuna tartare and charshubao are available on an extensive and sophisticated menu offering.
Are you interested in private events? Stadium Club offers a variety of buying options, including a Skybox with a dedicated sports simulation suite.

Tom’s watch bar
Do I need to watch 360 degrees? At Tom’s Watch Bar, it’s literally, as the rooftop location offers incredible views from the Orlando skyline and the I-drive’s two-storey perch.
With a huge stadium screen and over 150 televisions, Tom’s truly unique location will be a special sports bar experience, but that’s in the sense that you can’t expect to see what you’re expecting in the form of deep nachos, sticky wings and more. there is no. A draft beer and specialty cocktails for adults and a $10-dollar kids menu will be a place for everyone to see.
A few minutes from both Orlando and Downtown Windermere will be a great meeting spot when sports-loving visitors in town are tourists, but many locals prefer this to the game day hang I’ve leveled up to do so. The game from TV, hockey shots to zombie dodgeball will have a fun time on your feet.
Private events and meetings are also available from up to 800 small groups.

Primrose Lane
The bowling venue in this milk district has come a long way since the earliest times, but the team behind its revival confirms that despite its serious peak, many signature touches remain. I did. It also has a long way to go even at the opening that year, transforming from the burning alley of the restaurant into a street sports entertainment bar (though there are really good foods).
Arcade games now stand in place of many of its tables, and people are giving lots of fun while waiting for the lane. And if you’re there for the game? There are options. Not only is the TV a beautiful bar, but there are plenty of it in the celebrity rooms that Team Market Group executive chef Jason Campbell compares to a Vegas-style betting lounge. (Leather chairs offer the charm of a kind of rat pack.)
Up to 50 guests can submit to this gorgeous viewing venue. Open seats and QR codes allow you to easily access and order from the full bar and food menu, including two martinis, beer bucket specials, Monday’s dollar wings, and happy hour on weekdays from 4-6pm Masu. Reservation parties are available, but if you wish to participate in the Super Bowl, you will also be holding a second annual parking viewing event.

Crush yard
Maybe you’re Pickleball, one of America’s fastest growing sports-winning Zillion. Maybe you’re not.
But Kissimmee’s new cutting edge crash yards are well beyond 10 indoor courts in a 48,000-square-foot space. Some of them have been featured in the bar. Over 80 TVs.
There is also a menu that includes two private event spaces and a rice bowl, salad, pinsa pizza, sliders, loaded fries, nachos, wings and more. The bar features 24 beers in taps, seltzers, cocktails and wine. Arcade games, ping pong, cornhole, air hockey and shuffleboard complete the experience. Also, since pickleball is the main event, you’ll see that there’s plenty of space to enjoy the game of your choice and games.
