Best Restaurants on Hollywood Beach Boardwalk for FIFA 2026 Fans

The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk is 2.5 miles of car-free Atlantic beachfront with restaurants, bars, live music, bike rentals, and ocean views running its full length. For FIFA World Cup 2026 fans staying at Ultra Spaces, this is your front garden. Walk out the door, turn left or right, and you have one of South Florida's best stretches of beachside dining within minutes. This guide covers the best restaurants on Hollywood Beach Boardwalk, what they serve, what makes them worth stopping at, and how the Broadwalk will look during the World Cup.

About Hollywood Beach Broadwalk

The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk — note the local spelling, "Broadwalk" not "Boardwalk" — runs 2.5 miles from Sheridan Street south to Georgia Street along the Atlantic Ocean. It is fully car-free: a wide concrete promenade shared by walkers, cyclists, rollerbladers, and beach-goers, with restaurants and shops lining the inland side and open beach on the ocean side.

The Broadwalk is not new. It has been a South Florida institution for decades, drawing locals from Hollywood, Dania Beach, and Fort Lauderdale every weekend. What makes it different from South Beach is scale and atmosphere. The Broadwalk is genuinely walkable — you can cover it end to end comfortably in 45 minutes — and the dining options lean local rather than tourist-trap chains.

For FIFA World Cup 2026, the Broadwalk is expected to be one of the most active fan corridors in South Florida outside the stadium itself. International supporters from Brazil, Argentina, England, the USA, Morocco, and every other qualifying nation will be staying at Hollywood Beach properties, eating along the Broadwalk, and congregating at the beachfront bars on match days and between matches.

Best restaurants on Hollywood Beach Boardwalk

Here are the standout restaurants on the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk — a mix of iconic spots and solid everyday options for a World Cup week.

Le Tub — Burgers · Iconic

One of the most famous burger restaurants in the United States — GQ once named Le Tub's sirloin burger the best in America. Set in a converted gas station directly on the Broadwalk, Le Tub is unpretentious, cash-friendly, and genuinely worth the wait. The outdoor seating is charming in a ramshackle way. Lines can run 45 to 60 minutes on weekends — arrive before 11am or after 9pm to get in faster. This is a must-do at least once during a Hollywood Beach stay.

Billy's Stone Crab and Seafood — Seafood · Florida Classic

The best-known seafood restaurant on the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk. Billy's serves Florida stone crab claws during the October to May season, plus fresh fish, shrimp, grilled grouper, and a raw bar year-round. Outdoor seating runs along the Broadwalk with ocean views. Arrive early on weekends — this fills up fast in summer. During the World Cup, Billy's is one of the top spots for a post-match seafood spread.

GG's Waterfront Bar and Grill — American · Broadwalk Views

A long-standing Broadwalk institution with a wide outdoor deck and straightforward American bar food — burgers, sandwiches, wings, nachos, draft beer. GG's is the right place for a relaxed lunch between beach sessions or a casual pre-match meal when you need something quick and filling without too much fuss. Live music most evenings and a strong chance of match screenings during the World Cup.

Rocco's Tacos and Tequila Bar — Mexican · Cocktails

The Broadwalk's most social venue — a Mexican restaurant and tequila bar with a large outdoor terrace, tableside guacamole, and an extensive cocktail list. Rocco's is the place to gather a group, order a round of margaritas, and spend two hours at the table. Fan groups from Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico will find this a natural home base during the tournament.

Woo Sushi — Japanese · Sushi

The best sushi restaurant directly on the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk. Good quality fish, proper rolls, and a laid-back atmosphere that is a step above the typical beachfront kitchen. Woo is the right pick for a lighter dinner or a lunch that does not involve fried food. The outdoor section looks out toward the ocean.

Ocean Alley Restaurant — American · Breakfast

Hollywood Beach's most reliable breakfast and brunch spot on the Broadwalk. American classics — eggs, pancakes, French toast, Benedicts — with outdoor seating and beach views. On match days that kick off in the morning, Ocean Alley is where you fuel up before heading to Hard Rock Stadium. Opens early, fills up fast on weekends.

Best seafood on the Broadwalk

Hollywood Beach has the distinct advantage of being an actual working coastal town — not a tourist resort built around a beach. The seafood on the Broadwalk reflects this. Stone crab, grouper, snapper, shrimp, and mahi-mahi are brought in fresh from Florida waters.

For stone crab: Billy's Stone Crab is the only serious answer on the Broadwalk. The claws are served chilled with mustard sauce in the South Florida tradition. Note that stone crab season runs October through May — by June the crabs are out of season, but the rest of the seafood menu is excellent year-round.

For grilled fish: Multiple Broadwalk restaurants serve daily fish specials depending on what came in fresh. Grouper sandwiches are a South Florida staple — a thick fillet of fresh grouper on a toasted roll with remoulade. If you see it on a Broadwalk menu, order it.

For fish tacos: Rocco's Tacos does a good fish taco alongside the Mexican menu. Several smaller walk-up counters on the Broadwalk also do solid fish tacos for a quick beach snack between sessions in the water.

Best casual bars and drinks on the Broadwalk

The Broadwalk's bar scene is relaxed and unpretentious compared to South Beach. You are not paying $22 for a cocktail at a velvet-rope venue. Most bars are open-air, cash-friendly, and operating on the principle that people who have been in the ocean all day want cold beer and a good view.

For cocktails: Rocco's Tacos has the strongest cocktail program on the Broadwalk — margaritas, tequila flights, and a full bar. For something more laid-back, GG's Waterfront has cold beer and cocktails with the best outdoor deck on the strip.

For sports bars with screens: Multiple Broadwalk venues have outdoor screens and have historically screened major sports events. During FIFA World Cup 2026, expect additional temporary screening setups along the Broadwalk for group stage matches. The atmosphere for watching a Brazil vs Argentina match on an outdoor screen with hundreds of fans on a beachfront promenade will be unlike anything the Broadwalk has seen before.

For beach drinks: The Broadwalk has several walk-up counters and beach shacks serving cold drinks, fresh coconut water, smoothies, and slushes — ideal between beach sessions or during the intense South Florida afternoon heat in June and July.

FIFA 2026 watch parties on the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk

Hard Rock Stadium hosts 8 FIFA World Cup 2026 matches — Group Stage, Round of 32, Round of 16, and the Quarterfinal. That means for every day a match is not being played at the stadium, fans are on the Broadwalk watching other group stage matches from around the world.

The World Cup group stage runs June 15 to June 26. During that window, multiple matches happen every day from across all groups. Most Hollywood Beach fans attending even two or three Hard Rock Stadium matches will spend the majority of their days watching other games from the beach.

The Broadwalk is set up perfectly for this. The outdoor bars and restaurants face the ocean with no enclosed spaces — screens can be set up on patios and terraces without the cramped indoor atmosphere of a typical sports bar. Several establishments have already announced plans to extend their outdoor areas and add screens for the tournament window.

The best match-watching setup on the Broadwalk will likely be GG's Waterfront and Rocco's Tacos for their outdoor capacity, with Le Tub and Billy's more focused on the dining experience. Check with venues directly as match dates approach for confirmed screening schedules.

Match day dining plan from Ultra Spaces

Here is a simple match day plan that works well when staying at The Mariner Suites or Ultra Blue Apartments:

Morning of match day: Breakfast at Ocean Alley on the Broadwalk — eggs, coffee, toast. Takes 45 minutes and gets you fuelled before the drive. Arrive early; it fills up fast on match days.

Pre-match: Skip the stadium food queue. Cook at the apartment (full kitchen at Ultra Blue Apartments) or grab a quick Broadwalk lunch — fish tacos or a sandwich from one of the walk-up counters. Drive to Hard Rock Stadium via I-95 South — about 30 minutes, leave 60 to 90 minutes before kickoff.

Post-match dinner: Return to Hollywood Beach on I-95 North. If the match finished before 9pm, Billy's Stone Crab or GG's Waterfront for dinner on the Broadwalk. If arriving late, Le Tub is open late and the wait clears out after 9pm. Cold beer and a burger after a match night is hard to improve on.

Non-match days: Walk the full 2.5-mile Broadwalk end to end — Sheridan to Georgia Street — stopping wherever looks good. Le Tub for one lunch, Rocco's Tacos for one evening, Billy's for one dinner. The three restaurants above cover a full week of highlights without repeating yourself.
