College Football Fanatic and regular visitor to 30A. Looking for alternative to Busters due to distance. We stay in Seagrove in fall and love to mix in some good football viewing when we can. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

Shades at the East end of 30-A and I also believe that there is a sports bar in santa rosa off of 98 in one of those strip malls....:confused:

I think the place on Hwy 98 is called Balls Out. Sorry, I didn't invent the name. I am partial to Shades. There also used to be a place in Carillion Beach called (I think) The Sports Bar, which isn't exactly creative. Don't know if it is still open.:idontno:

Go to Bud's...they'll put the game on. Or go to the Red Bar. They'll let you watch the game there too. I'm not sold on this Shades deal...But that's just me.

There are many staffers at Borago that pay close attention to the sporting world. It's a cool bar area and they generally have the games on. Good food, too.

Ditto on the college football fanaticism. Shades #1. And Borago if you can get the diners around you to agree (or if you know Danny or Jenna).

The nice thing about Ball's Out Sport Bar the have several TV's and satellite. They will always have the game you want. During the game they always have specials on drinks and food.

The name escapes me, but there is a huge restaurant/sports bar on 98 in Miramar just past the Old 98 turnoff. It's either in the shopping center where the Bruno's is, or very close by. TV's everywhere and decent food too. They have the ESPN Gamplan package, so they can get just about whichever game you want.

EDIT. I just thought of the name of the place - Busters.

Buster's has been there forever! Right before that there is Beef O'Bradys who I'm sure have tons o' tvs. All Irish bars do.

Never been there but... Johnny O'Quigleys was recommended to me as a good place to catch football games.

I enjoy it. They have a huge menu, too.

Beef O'Brady's in Sandestin Market has many TVs. Some booths have their own small flat panel. We've had lunch there maybe 3-4 times. Food (sandwich, burgers & fries fare) is OK but the service is, well, awful. Busters is worse than awful. How they claim to be a "locals" place -- unless their "locals" have no clue as to what is edible food - is beyond me.

May have to check it out in October. I've already pre-warned my friend that I will be in front of the tv on 10/8 watching Steelers vs Chargers. Here we go Steelers!

There are a lot of places to watch football- you can go to Snapperheads on 30-A or to the bar at the Old Florida Fish House in Seagrove - they have a good bar area there with tv's.

Thanks for all the info on sports bars. I'm coming down for labor day weekend but our place is off of Old 98, within walking distance of Busters. I agree with above post of their service and food so I want to go elsewhere. I'm looking to catch the Dawgs at noon on Saturday, where is Johnny O'quigley's located.

Johnny O'Quigleys is located across 98 from Destin Commons. In the same plaza as Best Buy and Linens n Things.
