If you want an NFL Sunday bar in Miami where the game is actually on with the sound up, The Leinster is an Irish pub at 1600 NE 1st Ave in Edgewater that gives Sunday over to football. No cover charge, no list, and no reservation to make. You walk in, find a stool, and tell the bartender which game you came for.
Here is how the day runs, what is on, and what to do if your team is not the Dolphins.
Your NFL Sunday bar in Miami, start to finish
Doors open at 9 AM on Sundays, which is earlier than most rooms in this city bother with. That open is there for the morning European football, and the practical effect on an NFL Sunday is that the place is already warm and busy long before the American games start. If you want a seat with a decent angle on a screen, get here before the first kickoff rather than at it. For the big matchups the room fills up, and the regulars have known that for years.
From there we run straight through the afternoon and into the evening, with Sunday close at 11 PM. That covers the early games, the late afternoon window, and the start of the night game. If your version of a good football night goes later than that, Monday and Thursday are the better bets, because we are open until 1 AM on both. Everything we show, league by league, is laid out on the live sports page.
Will your team's game be on?
Every Miami Dolphins game gets a screen, so Dolphins Sunday is the simple one. Miami open the 2026 season away at Las Vegas on 13 September at 4:25 PM ET, and we are on for the rest of it from there. Edgewater puts us a few minutes from Downtown, Midtown, Wynwood and Brickell, which is a considerably shorter trip than the drive out to Hard Rock and a lot easier to park at than South Beach.
If you follow a team from somewhere else, and a good half of this city does, the honest answer is to ring ahead. Call (786) 937-8122, ask about the specific game, and you will get a straight yes or no instead of a maybe. The same goes for sound. We turn the volume up for the big ones rather than leaving everything muted in a corner, so if there is a game you actually want to hear, say so when you get here.
Worth knowing before you set out: we are open Monday and Wednesday through Sunday, and closed on Tuesdays. Sunday from 9 AM, Saturday from noon, weekday afternoons from 3 PM.
Pub food that holds up for a three hour afternoon
The kitchen runs through the games instead of closing at some awkward hour, which is the difference between staying for the late window and giving up and going home. If you are hunting proper pub food near you in Miami rather than another basket of wings, the Fish and Chips ($24) is fresh Atlantic cod in a light beer batter with thick-cut hand-cut chips and house-made tartar sauce, the way a chipper in Dublin does it. The Shepherd's Pie ($19) is lamb and beef under buttery mashed potato, and the Bangers and Mash ($19) comes with grilled Irish-style sausages and onion gravy. The Irish Stew arrives with a side of Irish brown bread. Get here for the 9 AM open and there is a Full Irish waiting instead. The rest of it is on the menu.
To drink, this is where being an actual Irish pub earns its keep. The Guinness gets the full two-part pour and the time it needs, which is not something you rush at halftime. One scheduling note: happy hour runs Monday and Wednesday to Friday from 4 to 7 PM with $8 imperial Guinness pints, so it does not land on a Sunday, but it lines up neatly with Monday Night Football and with anyone arriving straight from work.
Coming with fifteen people instead of two
Sunday football is often a group plan, and once your group gets past a certain size it is worth telling us in advance. The covered outdoor patio holds 30 seated or 50 for a standing reception, with string lights and lounge seating, and it is built for exactly this sort of thing: watch parties, casual celebrations, corporate happy hours. Search for a covered patio bar in Miami and you will find plenty of places that mean four tables on a sidewalk, so the difference is worth pointing out.
Indoors, the main room takes 150 cocktail-style or 65 seated, and a full buyout runs to 200 with the patio included. There are 10 AV monitors, a live music stage, and all-inclusive food and beverage packages, which is what makes it work for a milestone birthday, a Champions League watch party on a Wednesday night, or a group that just wants one corner of the room to itself for the afternoon. Details and a quote request are on the private events page.
Just come in
That is the whole plan, really. The Leinster is at 1600 NE 1st Ave, the street parking is free, several Metromover stations are a short walk, and rideshare drops you at the door. Nothing to book and nobody to call unless you want to check on a specific game. Pull up a stool, get a proper pint in your hand, and we will have the football on. Slainte.
