The biggest sports tournament in the world takes place in Russia from Jun 14-Jul 15. While all 64 matches will be shown live and free of charge on TrueVisions, Amarin TV and Television Channel 5, you’ll want to leave home to catch all the color and banter at these bars, which are staying open until the late 1am and 2am kick-offs. 

* The list will be updated


25 Degrees

Why here: Not only is this glitzy California-hailing chain open 24 hours, it’s one of the few places that lets you create your own burger from an outrageously long list of cheeses, condiments and toppings. From 3-7pm during the World Cup, guests get buy-one-get-one on all sides, selected beers and cocktails, while from midnight-3am it's buy-two-drinks-get-one-side. Stay tuned for more special events and giveaways, too. 
G/F, Pullman G Hotel, 188 Silom Rd., 02-352-4192





Why here: From Jun 14-Jul 15, you can watch live football games projected on a big screen while sitting in an air-con courtyard. Be sure to try their World Cup-inspired cocktails like Kick Off, Fair Play and Russian Rule, starting from just B120/glass.

Anantara Siam Hotel, 155 Ratchadamri Rd., 02-126-8866 (ext.1210).


Beer Belly

Why here: Because there are some crazy drink deals. B3,999 gets you a beer tower and three sets of snacks, while B9,900 gets you two towers, bottles of Gold Label and Moscato, three snacks plus two mains. There’ll be live bands every night too. 



Bradman’s Sports Bistro 

Why here: The added thrill of hearing grizzled Australian Rules fans act like soccer experts all of a sudden. Oh and some damn fine lamb chops (B620).
4/6 Sukhumvit Soi 23, 02-661-7176 



Bully’s Pub 

Why here: The beers are ice-cold and you can always grab a game of pool if your team’s down at half time.  
8 Sukhumvit Rd., 099-616-0008






Why here: Currently one of the tastiest and funnest restaurants in Bangkok right now, Bunker’s also rolling out an exciting World Cup bucket promo: B750 gets you five bottles of beer, fries and chicken wings. Yum!




The Clubhouse Sports Bar & Grill

Why here: The vibe’s not as claustrophobic as your usual wood-paneled British pub, tons of screens, and a burger that’s the envy of other sports bars. 
21/1-3 Sukhumvit Soi 23, 02-664-1376


The Drunken Leprechaun 

Why here: The big projector positioned in its semi-open beer garden and, er, the luck of the Irish. 
Four Points by Sheraton, Sukhumvit Soi 15, 02-309-3255.


Fan Zone (Revolucion)

Why here: For some Latin flair. The second floor of Revolucion cocktail bar has transformed into a fake grass-clad pop-up bar promising beers, burgers and guest appearances from Bangkok’s own footballing elite.
50 Sathorn Soi 10, 02-235-4823



Why here: The in-depth tactical analysis. Duh. 
Silom Rd., 088-928-6276
4 Sukhumvit Soi 4, 084-901-9669
4 Sukhumvit Soi 15, 02-006-6001

The Londoner Brew Pub 

Why here: To offset England’s inevitable quarter-final exit with good brews. Head to this classic brewpub on Wednesdays for “Pint & Chicken Parmigiana Night” when you can taste the pub staple along with the house pour for B299.
1178 Pattanakarn Rd., 02-022-8025



Old German Beer House

Why here: Let’s face it, the Germans are bound to go far in the tournament. If you can’t beat them join them. From 2-7pm and 10pm-1:30am all Thai beers, house red and white wine, and simple mixer drinks are B99. 
Sukhumvit Soi 11, 02-651-3838



Pesca Mar & Terra Bistro



Why here: This Mediterranean restaurant sits in a sprawling blue and white house transforms into a mini football stadium for the World Cup, serving up a special new tapas selection (including croquetas, patatas bravas and aioli, chicken wings, B190 each) as well as drinks deals like B99 Singha beer and B100 Rickard. 

39 Ekkamai Soi 12, 063-267-7778


The Royal Oak Bangkok

Why here: This 20-year-old British pub is just the place for a pint, a plate of bangers and mash (B280), and a side of English disappointment. 


Schneider Haus

Why here: The house-cum-bar’s beer garden vibe and links to Bavaria’s Schneider Weisse brewing company are a match made in football-viewing heaven.
24/2 Soi Ari 4, 092-279-4884



Why here: The incredible craft beer list and American comfort food almost make up for the USMNT’s absence from the tournament.

51 Sukhumvit Soi 26, 087-460-2626
