Heroes will be created. Legends born. National pride will be on the line. Also: bars will be open very early in the morning. So while we know you're still in the throes of Stanley Cup fever, we want to prepare you for the next big cup in your life: the World Cup, starting on Friday at nine in the morning.
The Gold Coast is always teeming with exotic excess. And booze. Luxbar adds some soccer to the mix: it will have the games playing in the bar, along with a special beer bucket with brews representing the US, Germany, Italy, Mexico, England and the Netherlands. Sort of like a UN Special Envoy of beers.
Sure, this place is serving up drink specials (and early-morning churrasco and eggs) throughout the tourney. But here's the real reason you'll want to park here: whenever Brazil takes the field (June 15, 20 and 25), they'll have Brazilian drummers, samba music and a bevy of dancing girls. Because there's nothing like a samba dancer in a feather headdress as an eye-opener.
At each of the soccer mecca's three locations, you'll find new TVs and earlier hours, not to mention all 64 games (alongside $5 half-liters of Carlsberg and Bitburger). To encourage return visits, they're giving away prizes (jerseys, beer) the more often you take in a match. Think of it as a rewards program for watching televised sports.
Members of the Chicago Fire will help amp up the already-rowdy afternoon brunch crowd when the USA takes on England this Saturday. You'll also receive a rally towel to help get things started—because no major international sporting event is complete without a little swag and a lot of beer.
A lush back garden. The tranquility of nature. It only needs one thing: a few more televisions. And maybe some beer kegs. So the Red Canary will be opening at 8:45am on game days, and they've added additional TVs on the patio. Kind of like stadium seating, but the $40 table kegs mean you'll be your own beer guy.
