Best Sports Bars in Dallas for World Cup Fans

Located in Addison (north of Dallas), The Londoner is the undisputed king of soccer pubs in DFW. It is dark, wood-paneled, and highly authentic. It is the official home for dozens of Premier League supporters groups. Expect it to be absolutely packed, loud, and incredibly fun during the World Cup.

The Katy Trail Ice House in Uptown Dallas is a massive, wildly popular outdoor beer garden situated right on the Katy Trail walking path. The patio is shaded by giant trees, and they serve massive schooners of cheap local beer. It is the premier spot to spend a sunny afternoon watching matches.

If you are staying in Fort Worth (near the Shops at Clearfork), City Works is fantastic. They have massive, wall-to-wall televisions and a staggering 90 craft beers on draft. The food is elevated pub fare—the smoked chicken wings and massive pretzels are excellent.

Stan's Blue Note is the oldest continuously operated bar in Dallas. It is a classic, unpretentious sports dive. The walls are covered in memorabilia, the beer is cheap, and the massive outdoor patio is packed with locals. It is gritty, loud, and highly authentic.

If you want to stay near the stadium but avoid the massive crowds and cover charges at Texas Live!, J. Gilligan's in downtown Arlington is a local legend. They are famous for 'Irish Nachos' (cottage fries covered in cheese, bacon, and jalapeños) and offer a cheap shuttle to the stadium.
