Are you looking for a unique space for a private screening with friends, family, or coworkers this World Cup? We’ve got you covered! 

Why not make the most of it this season and have everyone rooting for the same team (or different teams if you want some extra drama) in the same room? We definitely think that the best way to celebrate football coming home is together. Make sure you choose a venue that can accommodate all your needs with good screens, good food options, and of course, plenty of drinks behind the bar.
