Sports fans enjoy waterfront seats at this favorite tap.. Across the street from its Westin Diplomat parent, this lively sports bar has heartier ambitions than being merely a hotel's watering hole. This is the real deal with a wraparound bar centerpiece and dozens of flatscreens perched throughout. Wooden tables and elevated leather booths surround the bar, watching over the exhibition kitchen. Fresh air seekers stake out the dockside tables outside, overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway. Beyond the standard wings and pizzas, surprising menu choices include shrimp skewers, chorizo quesadillas and salmon steaks. The touristy locale makes it a magnet for out-of-towners, but locals come for the happy hour specials.
