Even though the United States won’t be making an appearance this time around (can we officially declare that our women’s team is superior and collectively be confused by why they’re paid less?!), there’s still plenty of great World Cup games to watch (like the upset that Mexico pulled off over defending champ, Germany, which may or may not have caused an artificial earthquake)—and there are a handful of places across Minneapolis and St. Paul where fans can do exactly that, beer in hand.

Locations are sorted from west to east.

Kieran's Irish Pub

For those who love crowds so thick that it almost feels like being at the match itself, this downtown staple is the place to go. If a game overlaps with their 2 p.m. - 6 p.m. daily happy hour, fans can enjoy $2 off draft beer, house wines, rails, specialty cocktails, and appetizers.

Ireland is out too, but that’s certainly not keeping Irish pubs from reveling in the competition of the tournament. Most days the bar opens early for games, but check ahead to make sure. Once inside, consider a $4.50 pint of Guinness, Heineken, or Newcastle.

Town Hall Brewery

This relaxed Seven Corners locale is an excellent option to view the game without all of the hustle and bustle and competition for tables, but with $3 pint specials instead. Customers who catch the soccer bug can continue to feed their new addiction at Town Hall after the World Cup passes—they show every MNUFC match.

Nomad World Pub

This bar boasts a diverse group of patrons, two patios, and dog-friendliness throughout. They’ve got food trucks for grub, bocce ball for down time in between games, and a unique $35 World Cup Passport special that gets buyers $1 off beers, a free tee, and eligibility to win some pretty rad prizes.

Merlins Rest Pub

The pub is opening at 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. every day (depending on match times—have a look at their website for their opening times) throughout the course of the tournament. Merlins is also serving up breakfast specials until 11 a.m. as well since beer and an empty stomach never mix well.
