Best places to watch Soccer in DC


I wanted to compile a list of places (pubs, bars, restaurants) to watch soccer.  We know places to watch American football (Pussy's).  We want to watch REAL FOOTBALL with out the helmets and pads.


Lucky Bar
If there’s a soccer match on, you can bet one of Lucky Bar’s 25 TVs will be playing it, which means fans from all reaches gather to watch their favorite team. World Cup, EPL, FA Cup—the list is so long that even Arsenal and Tottenham fans might find themselves sharing the same side of the bar. But Lucky Bar says it’s the UEFA Champions League that draws the biggest crowds, with fans toasting their teams with Stella, Carlsberg, and plenty more fine European beers. Just be sure to drink enough to cover the $10 minimum during games.

Pour House
Fans of the US men’s national team head to this three-floor bar for their soccer fix. With 25 high-definition TVs, this bar makes sure you can see the field from anywhere in the house. Game days also mean specials here: Enjoy $3 Bud Light and Miller Lite drafts, or bring some fellow hooligans along with you for the $10 Bud Light/Miller Lite pitchers.

Irish Channel Restaurant & Pub
Seven TVs and three soccer channels make this pub a good destination for fans of big-name teams such as Man U, Liverpool, and Arsenal. Daily specials include such across-the-Atlantic favorites as fish and chips and shepherd’s pie, which can be enjoyed at the bar or in the adjacent restaurant.

Fadó Irish Pub
Beer with breakfast? It’s on the menu at Fadó, where not even an early-morning kickoff stops fans from toasting their teams. This traditional Irish pub gets packed for the big matches such as Liverpool and Chelsea, but that doesn’t mean it forgets about the smaller ones. Seven big-screen TVs means even under-the-radar games get premier treatment. Win big prizes at the bar if you skillfully fill out a prediction sheet.

La Frontera Cantina
Come to this bar for game-day beer specials such as Bud Light and Miller Lite for $2.25 and $3 Coronas. A projection screen plus three TVs play everything from international games to smaller Mexican league games.

Bar Pilar
Named after Hemingway’s boat, Bar Pilar’s European feel will make any homesick fùtbal fan feel like he’s right back in the Old World. Three TVs and an impressive cocktail list make this bar a fine place to spend your 90 minutes.
