The ACC now stretches from the Atlantic coast to North Texas, and this game is that map in one matchup: Virginia out of Charlottesville, SMU on the Hilltop in Dallas. Grails Miami runs the college football board on Saturdays, and this one gets the Wynwood patio treatment with the rest of the slate spinning across the room.

Virginia is one of the ACC’s longest-tenured members, a program tied to Scott Stadium and to the old Coastal Division era of league scheduling. SMU came over from the American in 2024, carrying Southwest Conference roots, the Pony Express years of the early 1980s and one of the richest high school recruiting territories in the country in Dallas Fort Worth. Gerald J. Ford Stadium is a compact campus venue in University Park where the crowd sits close to the field. Structurally, this is an ACC standings game between two programs from very different corners of the same league, and realignment is the reason it exists at all.

La ACC ahora se extiende desde la costa atlántica hasta el norte de Texas, y este juego es ese mapa en un solo partido: Virginia desde Charlottesville, SMU en el Hilltop de Dallas. Grails Miami maneja la cartelera de football universitario los sábados, y este partido va con el patio de Wynwood a todo lo que da mientras el resto de los juegos corre en las pantallas.

Virginia es uno de los miembros más antiguos de la ACC, un programa ligado a Scott Stadium y a la época de la antigua División Coastal. SMU llegó desde la American en 2024, con raíces en la Southwest Conference, los años del Pony Express a principios de los ochenta y una de las zonas de reclutamiento de secundaria más ricas del país en Dallas Fort Worth. Gerald J. Ford Stadium es un estadio universitario compacto en University Park, con la gente pegada al campo. En lo estructural, es un juego de tabla de la ACC entre dos programas de esquinas muy distintas de la misma liga.

What makes Grails different

Sneaker-themed bar interior at Grails Miami with rare sneakers on display

The World’s First Sneaker-Themed Restaurant & Bar

Hand-restored, well-known sneaker grails line our walls, collected from collaborations and drops throughout the last two decades. Our indoor lounge feels less like a sports bar and more like a sneakerhead’s dream living room, with red booths, ambient lighting, and a custom sneaker bar centerpiece.

Whether you’re a hypebeast, a casual collector, or just here for the wings, the indoor lounge is a vibe, and unlike any other sports bar in Miami.

The Covered “Miami Vice” Patio & The Yard

Spacious. Vibrant. Pure Miami. The covered Miami Vice patio seats up to 120 across multiple table configurations and has its own patio bar, with TVs angled for visibility from every seat. The Yard sits adjacent under a giant tent with a projector screen for the major game. Hookah service runs all evening on the patio.

The color palette pulls straight from Miami Vice: pinks, teals, neon accents. The patio walls flow with rotating mural work that fits Wynwood’s art-district vibe.

The Famous “Sneaker Cocktail”

Yes, you really do drink it from a Jordan-inspired sneaker. The Grails sneaker cocktail is our most-photographed creation, equal parts conversation piece and craft cocktail. It’s been featured in local press, racked up millions of Instagram impressions, and is now a Wynwood rite of passage.

Pair it with shareable dishes from the full menu or post up at the bar with a flight of hyper-local beer. There’s no other drink experience like it in Miami.

Not Your “Typical” Sports Bar

Award-winning craft cocktails. Hand-crafted shareable dishes. A bartender who actually remembers your name. Hyper-local beer on tap. 75+ TVs, two full bars, and three distinct seating areas, including a Wynwood-art-district patio. Group tables for 4 to 40+. Hookah on the patio. DJ-curated music.

This isn’t beer-and-wings-on-a-flat-screen. This is the Grails Experience. It’s why we’re consistently rated Miami’s #1 sports bar.

Grails Sporting Bar has consistently been a favorite of mine, and today’s visit raised the bar even higher! Our server, Austin, was incredibly attentive and guided almost our entire experience with excellent recommendations from the drinks to the hookah flavor and the food. His service made our visit that much more enjoyable. They even changed it to the game I wanted to watch!!! The manager, Booker T, also stopped by to make sure we were having a great time. He warmly welcomed us back to Miami and invited us to return, making us feel truly appreciated. With an amazing atmosphere, attentive service, and welcoming hospitality, this spot continues to deliver a great experience. We’ll definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I are visiting for the night and decided to stop by and patronize. Vanessa was our waitress and she was absolutely amazing and extremely attentive to our needs. The manager, Booker T was extremely nice. Came over and introduced himself and also checked on us more than once. The food was also great, extremely fresh and there was not a long wait. We will definitely be back when we come back to the city off of the service alone. ❤️
