Calle Ocho Sports Bar Crawl

Calle Ocho in Little Havana is lined with cafés, domino parks, and sports bars where Miami's Cuban community gathers to watch Cuban baseball, Liga MX football, and the Miami Heat on screens propped up inside and outside storefronts. A self-guided bar crawl from Versailles Restaurant east toward Brickell connects fans to the city's Latin sports soul in a way that the modern arena district cannot. Stop for a cortadito at Café La Llave and watch the old men at Domino Park debate sports with the same intensity they bring to every tile game.
