This popular Brickell out-post is the perfect place to watch football. Not only do they have plenty of TV’s and beer on tap, but they also have cocktails on tap at the tables. Batch also has an amazing brunch menu, which features fan-favorites like chicken ‘n’ waffles, the smokehouse omelet, steak & eggs, and their Batch special hashes. We also enjoy the “mac attack”, which is their version of mac n’ cheese (gnocchi mac & cheese with gruyere cheese & Doritos “dust”). Top it off with bottomless sangria, bellinis, and/or mimosas and you’ve got a winning combo.
