Football season is now in full swing. Whether you’re strictly an SEC fan or College Football fan across the board, an NFL diehard or an armchair quarterback / Fantasy Football guru…
There’s no better place to watch the action then here along The Emerald Coast. Some of the best sports bars and restaurants anywhere are right here in our own back yard. They’re ready to welcome us in, serve up some really great food, cold beer and delicious specialty drinks, and make every game feel like a championship. Here are a few of my favorites. So, grab your crew, claim your spot and get in on the action—I’ll see you there!
AJ’s Grayton Beach
Gather your game-day crew and bring your team spirit to AJ’s Grayton Beach, located just off Scenic 30A on DeFuniak Street. With three bars, a spacious dining area and an inviting outdoor patio, this laid-back local favorite pairs football-season fun with seafood, oysters, burgers and sushi. Make Sunday a celebration with brunch and bottomless mimosas from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., plus live music to keep the weekend going. Getting an early start on the weekend? Happy hour runs Wednesday through Friday from 3 to 6 p.m., featuring $5 house wines, $5 Crown & Down drinks and $5.50 24-ounce draft beers. From gathering for the game to enjoying a night out with friends, AJ’s brings plenty of food, music and fun to the lineup.
