Duffy’s reopens more S. Fla. sites
Boca Raton, Deerfield Beach, Weston locations of restaurant chain are back to business
With baseball back on TV, the NBA close and football still in return mode, the Palm Beach County-based Duffy’s Sports Grill chain continued its phased comeback on Wednesday with the reopening of three more South Florida locations.
Doors opened at restaurants at 21212 St. Andrews Blvd. in Boca Raton, 401 N. Federal Highway in Deerfield Beach and at Weston Town Center.
A restaurant in Jupiter and two in Orlando also resumed service Wednesday.
Best known for ribs, wings, large beers and walls of televised sports, Duffy’s Sports Grill has 34 locations in Florida, with just one South Florida restaurant, in Kendall, among the three yet to reopen. Also still closed are locations in Altamonte Springs and Estero.
Last week, Duffy’s Sports Grill reopened in Plantation (811 S. University Drive), Fort Lauderdale (1804 Cordova Road), Boynton Beach (locations at 4746 N Congress Ave. and 6545 Boynton Beach Blvd.), Delray Beach (1750 S. Federal Highway), West Palm Beach (locations at 225 Clematis St. and 721 Village Blvd.) and Royal Palm Beach (11935
Southern Blvd.).
All Duffy’s outposts will require daily health screenings, masks and gloves for all employees, limited dine-in capacity and offer expanded outdoor seating options, Duffy’s president Joe Webb said in a statement.
Founded near Lake Park in 1985 and originally dubbed “Duffy’s Drafthouse” by original owner Stephen Cournoyer, the Duffy’s sports-bar empire has grown to vast proportions in South Florida, with locations stretching from Port St. Lucie to South Miami plus nine in Tampa and Orlando.
