Piper's Pub
Dahn on the South Side to watch some footy n'at? Translation: Want to watch soccer in our South Side neighborhood? Piper's Pub opens 30 minutes before the first game on weekends, giving you a great place to watch the game with other supporters even for those 7:30 a.m. games. Plus, they serve up Scottish and Irish favorites including scotch eggs, boxty, cottage pie and more, plus a great local draft selection, to enjoy from brunch to dinner.
The Bulldog Pub
They're Man U fans, but we won't hold that against them. In the East End neighborhood, The Bulldog Pub has a full slate of matches on every day of the week, and their Instagram does a fantastic job of showing which games are being shown so you don't miss a minute. Join their #BulldogBrunchLeague on weekends for a great menu including build-your-own breakfast sammies, breakfast pizzas and other tasty bites.
Mike's Beer Bar
Yes, it's located right next to PNC Park in the heart of the North Shore, but Mike's Beer Bar is also the official home for Pittsburgh Riverhounds watch parties! Be sure to catch the game there when the Hounds are traveling and enjoy a pint of more than 300 local beers and menu featuring their signature steak on a stone. Mike's is also hopping for World Cup and other major soccer matches, so be sure to check their schedule.
Monterey Pub
Just a short walk from Mike's, Monterey Pub in the Northside has an inviting atmosphere full of football supporters to make Premier League season a blast. They also go BIG for World Cup and other major games and tournaments throughout the year. Cheer on your team, but leave one hand free to munch on their bangers and mash, shepherd's pie and other Irish favorites on the menu.
Cork Harbour
Cork Harbour may be new to the scene in Lawrenceville, but their soccer schedule is maybe the most loaded in the city with full slates of EPL, Bundesliga, UEFA, Eredivisie and more matches. Follow their Insta for the full schedule, and don't be afraid to ask them to put your game on if you don't see it listed. Matches are best enjoyed with their cocktail menu including a hot toddy and/or irish coffee.
The Pitch on Butler
Just down the road from Cork Harbour on Butler Street is The Pitch, a fantastic meet-up spot for all of your footy needs. The outdoor patio with a big screen is the perfect spot to catch a game and still enjoy the outdoors, or head inside to their spacious bar and indoor seating with lots of TVs broadcasting the most in-demand matches plus one of the best smashburgers and draft lists in the city.
