Miami Mike's Sport Zone, East Hanover

For Miami Mike, a basketball coach's kid who grew up "throwing footballs, shooting free throws, and taking ground balls from all the older kids while the kids my age were fast asleep," loving sports is a way of life. In his abridged autobiography on the Miami Mike's Sports Zone website, he credits this upbringing with his ironclad love of athletics. It's this very strain of passion that catalyzed the Sports Zone's existence in 2007.

Today, Mike treats seasoned and new sports fans alike to a friendly environment and a satisfying food and drink menu, devising a destination conducive to catching big games. As eyeballs dart across screens, mouths can savor wings, bourbon baby back ribs, avocado chicken flatbread sandwiches, and other plates of casual yet thoughtful American food. Draft and bottled beers neighbor wine and mocktails, and bartenders create specialty cocktails such as citrus sangria and the Sunday Funday bloody mary with Pinnacle Atomic hot vodka. Game On!
