Brew Hounds

Brew Hounds Sports Lounge has operated on Havendale Blvd in Auburndale since 2009, giving it more than fifteen years as one of the city’s go to spots for sports viewing and a late night drink. The bar’s own website describes it as a community gathering spot built around entertainment and beverages, with a focus on crafted cocktails made from original recipes alongside an extensive beer selection, going beyond a standard bar setup with a simple domestic beer list.

What sets Brew Hounds apart is the sheer range of activities packed into the venue. The bar offers pool tables and darts, including weekly leagues for both, giving regulars a structured reason to come back on a specific night each week rather than just dropping in occasionally. Beyond that, the lounge includes video games, pinball machines, and a jukebox, rounding out an entertainment lineup that goes well past what most neighborhood bars offer. For sports fans specifically, Brew Hounds runs 20 high definition screens throughout the space along with a full slate of premium sports packages, including NFL Sunday Ticket, SEC and ACC conference networks, and coverage for NASCAR, MLB, and NHL, a lineup that covers essentially every major American sport and conference a fan in Central Florida might want to watch.

The bar maintains a non-smoking interior, a detail worth noting for anyone sensitive to smoke indoors, while still offering outdoor seating areas for those who want to be outside, a reasonable option in Florida’s climate for much of the year. On the events side, Brew Hounds runs weekly trivia nights and happy hour specials, giving the bar a regular weekly rhythm that keeps a mix of activities on the calendar beyond just open bar service.

Operating hours run long, from noon until 2:00 AM Monday through Saturday, and from noon until midnight on Sundays according to the bar’s own website, making it one of the latest closing food and drink businesses included in this Auburndale directory. That kind of late night availability, seven days a week, is relatively rare for a small city the size of Auburndale, and it positions Brew Hounds as a default option for anyone looking for something to do after most of the city’s restaurants have already closed for the night.

Brew Hounds maintains an active presence on both Facebook and Instagram under the handle brewhounds863, along with a listed contact email, giving it one of the more complete verified online and social footprints among the smaller independent bars and restaurants in this directory. The bar sits on Havendale Blvd, a stretch shared with several other Auburndale food and drink businesses including Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant and China Wok nearby.

Given the range of DirecTV sports packages on offer, this is a particularly strong option for watching NFL Sunday Ticket games, SEC or ACC football, or a Sunday night NASCAR race in Auburndale, and its weekly trivia night gives regulars a reason to plan a return visit around a specific evening rather than just dropping in at random.
