Amigo’s makes the list, not because they have a lot of TV’s or have NFL Sunday Ticket (they don’t). But you will find a welcoming atmosphere, whatever the most-requested, regularly-televised NFL game of the day is on the TV’s, a nice crowd of laid-back locals, and friendly service. Depending on the kickoff time, you may also be able to take advantage of their excellent happy hour specials.

I recommend getting there early to secure your spot, especially when West Coast teams who have a large fan base in Hawaii, such as the Seahawks, Raiders, or 49’ers, are playing. And did I mention they have a great happy hour at Diamonds?
