Update June 11, 2026: We’ve added a few more options to the list, just in time for game day!
The World Cup starts today!
Greenpoint and Williamsburg have no shortage of sports bars that will be showing the matches, but if you don’t know where to start, check out our list below of some top contenders.
Socceria Ramirez
One of the most obvious choices for watching this year’s World Cup is Socceria Ramirez (46 Norman Ave.), a soccer-focused sports bar and restaurant in Greenpoint from the team behind Taqueria Ramirez.
The newcomer briefly opened on May 30 for the Champions League Final and reopens on June 6 and 7 before kicking it into high gear with the World Cup on June 11.
Ramirez’s Giovanni Cervantes and Tania Apolinar teamed up with two partners, Josh Borock and John Hilmes, to open Socceria Ramirez in the space that was previously home to Nura.
While Taqueria Ramirez’s tacos will certainly make an appearance, Socceria’s menu promises a wider variety of options, including breakfast. Soccer fans can enjoy dishes like “chilaquiles, huevos estrellados con hoja santo, huevos ahogados en chile pasilla,” plus, hot dogs, wings, and the Taqueria Ramirez burger at night.
Threes Brewing
Threes Brewing (113 Franklin St.) has teamed up with local men’s and women’s soccer club, Brooklyn FC, to create a special collaborative beer called Golden Goal.
From June 11 to July 19, Three’s Brewing will be showing World Cup matches and offering pints of Golden Goal for $7 during the games.
Plus, the Greenpoint bar has a new food partner, Grand Army, and was recently renovated with updated booth seating throughout the dining room, a new bar, and elevated finishes.
Wayne & Sons
Wayne & Sons (57 South 5th St.), a Tex-Mex spot that opened earlier this year in Williamsburg, is calling itself the official home of the Wayne’s World Cup this summer.
The restaurant urges fans to “kick off” with them on June 11 for Mexico vs. South Africa. It will be showing all of the games and offering “drink specials galore.”
Wayne & Sons told Greenpointers that it will serve “twists on food items from different countries that are playing” and will have the World Cup Wayner-ita made from a recipe that dates back to 1978 in Dallas. There will also be the official Jim Beam Lemonade offered throughout the World Cup, collabs with liquor brands, and merch giveaways.
Kent Ale House
Kent Ale House (51 Kent Ave.) calls itself the “best sports and craft beer bar in Brooklyn to watch rugby and soccer.”
The bar is gearing up for the World Cup with a cute countdown on Instagram that they are calling “Meet Our Starting Eleven for the World Cup.” First up was Bailey the bartender who has been working at Kent Ale House for 3 years and loves “Premier League mornings.” The post said, “With just 11 days until the World Cup kicks off, swing by and say hi to Bailey this weekend!”
The Cactus Shop
The Cactus Shop (231 Kent Ave.) is a Mexican speakeasy-style cocktail bar known for tequila- and mezcal-based drinks.
On Instagram, the bar announced that they will be showing World Cup matches on “big screens all over the bar and patio” with cold beers, agave cocktails, food, and “toda la energía del Summer of Fútbol.” Plus, you can make reservations for game watching on Resy.
Banter
Williamsburg’s Banter (132 Havemeyer St.) shows “soccer all the time,” including live Premier league, MLS, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1 games, so most local soccer fans know this is a great option for World Cup viewing.
For past World Cups, the bar has done things like the Banter Beer Passport featuring beers from almost all of the participating countries. They haven’t publicized specials for this year’s World Cup yet aside from a kick-off party on June 6.
Berry Park
Berry Park (4 Berry Street) is a women-owned Williamsburg soccer bar with casual bar food like burgers, a wide selection of beers, and a rooftop with spectacular city views.
On Instagram, the bar calls itself the “best soccer bar in NYC” and mentions the World Cup alongside the Euro Cup, Copa America, Premier League, Champions League, and La Liga, noting that “the world unites with futbol.” So it’s safe to say that Berry Park will be showing the World Cup matches.
The Box House Hotel
The Box House Hotel (77 Box St.) is gearing up for a month of World Cup watch parties and inviting both hotel guests and locals to the rooftop and restaurant,The Brooklyn Lantern, to watch the games and enjoy themed bites and drinks in an environment that is less chaotic than a typical sports bar.
The Box House’s World Cup offerings will include some staples from their sister restaurant Madre. There will be black truffle croquetas, a market salad with aged pecorino, hamachi tostadas with whipped ricotta, Spanish garlic shrimp, strawberry bruschetta, chips and guacamole, and a cheeseburger, plus World Cup-inspired wings in rotating flavors based on which game is being shown.
Rounders
Rounders (999 Manhattan Ave.) opened last year in the former home of Esme. Noah Goldman and Greenpoint Fish and Lobster’s Vinny Milburn teamed up to open the sports bar, with the aim of creating an affordable spot for people to watch a game and drink a brew or two.
Rounders just told Greenpointers that in addition to showing all World Cup matches, the bar is offering a special beer only available at the Greenpoint sports bar. It’s called Coffee Kolsch and brewed by Williamsburg’s Talea Beer Co. Could be just the thing to keep you going during penalty kicks!
Warsaw
Local music venue Warsaw (261 Driggs Ave.) is getting into the action with World Cup watch parties starting on Saturday, June 14. Entry is free and all ages are welcome.
The live music venue will stream select matches live on a massive 24-foot video wall with state-of-the-art sound. All watch parties will offer communal seating, multiple bars, and a full bistro serving signature pierogi dishes, snacks, beer, and cocktails.
“Whether you’re coming for the match, the atmosphere, the pierogi, or all of the above, Warsaw transforms into the ultimate neighborhood soccer hub all tournament long,” Warsaw wrote on its website.
The World by Zum Schneider at Franklin Point
Zum Schneider has turned its Greenpoint pop-up into a “fun fan-fest” for the World Cup. The World by Zum Schneider at Franklin Point (12 Franklin St.) is a public viewing series featuring live matches across multiple screens, a massive indoor arena, rooftop views, and select special events.
Food and beverage voucher reservations for select high-demand matches will be available through Zum Schneider. All other matches are free to attend.
Match day experiences include communal seating at the center of The Arena with direct view onto the giant projector screen with full table service, standing-room access throughout The Arena around hightop barrels, and an open-air rooftop viewing with skyline views, expanded food and drink options and full table service.
All experiences include access to food and drinks throughout the match day. Parallel matches will also be shown throughout the venue on additional screens without sound.
Williamsburg Soccer Club
Looking for a more family-friendly World Cup watch party? Head to Williamsburg Soccer Club (33 Nassau Ave.). The clubhouse is showing select matches like USA v. Australia and Scotland v. Brazil.
“Bring your picnic blanket and join us on the pitch,” WSC wrote on Instagram. RSVPs are required. If you comment on the post, WSC will DM you with the link.
