The World Cup is a great excuse to go out with your friends to catch one (or more) of the various soccer games that are happening throughout the day. This is a rare time when many people gather to celebrate their culture through the love of the game. If you are in Atlanta during this time, here are some great places to catch your match:
: one of the most popular soccer bars in Atlanta; catch the game on their new 3D flat-screen TVs. The bar will be showing every game playing both inside and outside in the Brewhouse Beer Tent. Live music and entertainment will also be going on into the night during the games.
will be showing the games on a large projector screen at this comfortable neighborhood pub. Daily drinks specials, food, and drink raffles will be in effect. Opening early for morning matches.
is featuring half-priced beers priced from $1.50 to $2.38 during the games at the Howell Mill Road location.
will give you a 20% discount if you come in wearing your team’s colors during the game, and will also be serving $1 drafts.
is catering to team Italia by featuring $15 buckets of Peroni beer, and specials on Neapolitan pizzas, salads, appetizers and more. And don’t worry, other non-italian games will be showing on their HD projector and plasma screens.
Oh sure, I can talk about the 442-gallon salt water aquarium in the lobby or the local artwork on display, both representing the “Art in Motion” theme. I can even tell you about the AltoRex Rooftop Lounge, an intimate open-air gathering space with sweeping views of Atlanta’s skyline.
