The Best Bars to Watch Sports in Punta Cana
· Equipo QueHacerRD
NFL Sunday, the NBA playoffs or the Champions League do not pause for your vacation: five spots in Punta Cana and Bávaro with screens and cold beer.
Being on vacation does not mean missing the game. Every week Punta Cana brings together fans of the NFL, the NBA, hockey, Dominican baseball and European soccer, and the area has answered with sports bars where you can watch almost everything at once.
These five are listed on Google as good for watching sports and are among the most reviewed of their kind. They are spread across Bávaro, Los Corales and Downtown. One tip: if the game you want is not one of the big ones, message them on Instagram or WhatsApp first to confirm they will show it.
Hard Rock Cafe Punta Cana
At the Downtown plaza, on the Bulevar Turístico del Este. Screens, a terrace, burgers and ribs, surrounded by rock memorabilia. It is the comfortable choice for big groups and families: air conditioning, a broad menu and plaza parking.
Strikers Sports Bar
A sports bar in every sense: screens everywhere, a terrace and a late-night atmosphere, open 24 hours. It is inside the Barceló Bávaro Palace complex, so if you are not staying there, ask about access conditions beforehand.
Herman 311 Bar & Restaurant
At Plaza Victoriana, across from the Gran Bávaro Princess. One of the best-loved restaurants outside the hotel circuit, with good seafood cooking, live music and screens for the game. The pick for those who want to watch the match over a proper meal, not just bar snacks.
Xtra Time Sports Bar
On Avenida Palladium, in Bávaro. High-definition screens, a terrace and parking. It is a bar built for game day: you arrive, pick a screen and order a bucket of beers.
2Dudes Sport Bar
At Plaza El Dorado, in Los Corales, the most walkable part of Bávaro. Small, very well rated, and with the promise that you can watch every sport at once. It has a terrace and a crowd of expats and tourists who already know each other by name.
So you do not miss the game
- Confirm the game and the local time: Punta Cana does not switch to daylight saving time.
- For the Super Bowl, finals and derbies, book a table or arrive very early.
- If you are drinking, take a taxi back: distances between areas are long and the roads are dark at night.
