Old thread so I was hoping some Florida locals could chime in with some updated info. I'll be in Orlando for the Divisional Round. Any recommedations on good bars to watch the Pats from?
This is from an updated list from earlier this season:
Best Sports Bars to Watch the Patriots outside of New England
Celebration Town Tavern
721 Front St, Celebration, FL 34747
(407) 566-2526
Celebration Town Tavern
The Celebration Town Tavern and Boston Garden welcomes you to an authentic New England Tavern
Clearly, this family knows what it’s doing when it sets out to create a neighborhood gathering spot. Originally from the Boston area, the family started in the business thirty years ago with a successful seafood restaurant in Weymouth called Kelly’s Landing. The family then moved to Fort Lauderdale to open a second Kelly’s Landing, a place so full of regulars it evokes images of Cheers. Once again they relocated, this time to Celebration, where they opened the Celebration Town Tavern which has quickly become the town’s social hub. The tavern’s comfortable atmosphere is unquestionably a big draw.
Directions, heading on I-4 East:
Take exit 62 (Central Florida Greeneway/FL-417 )
Keep right at the fork, follow signs for Celebration and merge onto World Dr
Turn left at Celebration Blvd
Turn right at Waterside Dr
Turn left at Celebration Ave
Turn right at Campus St
Turn left at Front St — Celebration Town Tavern will be on your left
This was updated September of this year:

Looking at their website and facebook page it's not a Pats Bar per se, but just like any sports bar it will be showing all the NFL games.

Call first; their website is not available, so I don't know if this place is even still in business.
Sharky's Sports Bar has plenty for the sports lover. The bar has dozens of TVs offering professional and college sports and a huge bar with plenty of alcohol on tap. But Sharky's also has a huge game room, events such as Texas hold'em tournaments and daily specials.
