I will be in town Sunday the 22nd for the Magic/Warriors game. Where is the best places in town to watch the football games that afternoon?

Sorry for these types of questions but you guys are the best for this. (Thanks for the best pizzeria thread BTW)

Frank N Steins is near the arena and has a lot of TVs. You can walk to the game from there. I would suggest that.

There's a place on Sand Lake Road called The Fieldhouse that's excellent. Ruth's Chris steakhouse ownership opened it I think. Lots of big tv's and great food.

Do yourself a favor and go to the Ale House and get yourself a Zinger mountain melt. Your welcome!

They're ok, I've been there a few times for UFC fights. I like Hot Dog Heaven on E Colonial better.

Some of this should just make logistical sense. Would you rather be new to Orlando and drive from an area like 436 (let alone be there, lol) to a Magic game or spend the afternoon downtown at a nice sports bar and walk to the arena? Kind of a no brainer to me, especially for someone visiting out of town.

Absolutely downtown. My father is a season ticket holder but pretty much sticks to Church Street Station area. I was hoping to find something close but different. Looks like Frank N Steins is the place so far.

On a semi-side not, Im a dive bar fan, any suggestions in that area?

Also, are there specific Magic bars?

Don't know any specific Orlando Magic bars, but Ember has 2 for 1 happy hours and Fridays are 3 for 1 happy hour. Place has indoor/outdoor areas while it appears a classy crowd with many fine dressed females. I usually hit this place right before gametime to slam a few drinks on the low low.

The best place to watch sports in Orlando...........is Badmofo's couch. Sometimes you may find change in the cushions, or sofa pizza, which is a favorite of Alan Garner.

All this is true.
