The Big Tiki

The Big Tiki is hosting an epic party on the biggest gameday of the year! Cheer on your team, enjoy great food, and purchase the Big Tiki’s exclusive All You Can Drink package.  Come early and grab a seat, order delicious food from the Big Tiki Kitchen, and soak up the game day atmosphere in Siesta Key. There’s not a bad spot in the house with the bar’s 70-inch screens!

MVP  

If you’re looking for a high-energy spot with tons of entertainment, head over to MVP (My Village Pub), right in Siesta Key Village. Expect a packed house, a rowdy crowd, and over 40 big screens for watching every touchdown and halftime moment. With drink specials and party vibes, this is the place to be if you’re looking for a lively experience!

SKOB

Another Siesta Key hotspot you should check out is Siesta Key Oyster Bar, known as SKOB, by the locals. You’ll find several TVs indoors and outdoors, allowing you to catch every bit of the gameday action. Enjoy great food, fresh oysters, cold beer, and live entertainment. There’s no place like SKOB!

Captain Curt’s 

Take in Captain Curt’s laid-back island vibe, big screens, and a flavor-packed menu. With plenty of TVs, you won’t miss a play, while fresh seafood, wings, and drinks keep everyone happy through kickoff and beyond. It’s the kind of place where locals and visitors gather for good eats, a lively atmosphere, and an easygoing experience just minutes from the beach. 

Gecko’s

While technically not on Siesta Key, Gecko’s is just an 11-minute drive over the bridge into Sarasota.  Gecko’s also offers a football menu named after some of your favorite teams! Available only on game days, the menu features items like the All Out Blitzburger, Miami Mahi Sandwich, and the Charger’s Chimichanga.
