Best Places for the Semifinals and Third Place

Highbury Pub

2322 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., Milwaukee

Bay View’s Highbury Pub remains one of Milwaukee’s most authentic soccer-watching destinations. It is showing the remaining tournament matches, including both semifinals.

The pub is compact and popular with serious soccer fans, so arrive early for France–Spain and England–Argentina. Check its social media before leaving for opening times and capacity updates.

Best for: Die-hard fans, chanting, full-match attention and a traditional soccer-pub experience.

Three Lions Pub

4515 N. Oakland Ave., Shorewood

Three Lions Pub is the North Shore’s most established soccer bar and an especially natural choice for England’s semifinal against Argentina on Wednesday, July 15.

The pub has been showing tournament matches throughout the World Cup. Its main final celebration, however, moves to Klode Park on July 19.

Best for: England supporters, North Shore fans and anyone who wants an English-pub atmosphere.

Red Lion Pub

1850 N. Water St., Milwaukee

Red Lion Pub is another reliable English-style soccer destination. The pub regularly broadcasts World Cup and international matches and should draw a strong crowd for England–Argentina.

Check the weekly sports schedule or contact the pub if you need confirmation about sound, seating or opening time.

Best for: England fans, East Side residents and groups looking for a traditional pub with a little more room.

Tom’s Watch Bar

1134 N. Vel R. Phillips Ave., Milwaukee

Zócalo Food Park

636 S. Sixth St., Milwaukee

Zócalo Food Park is hosting watch parties through July 19, with matches shown inside the tavern and outdoors when weather permits.

The combination of food trucks, outdoor space and flexible seating makes Zócalo one of the easier choices for groups that include children or people who are more interested in lunch than every minute of the match.

Best for: Families, food-truck fans, Walker’s Point groups and casual viewers.

Lowlands Hospitality Restaurants

Lowlands restaurants are showing World Cup action through July 19. Participating locations include:

• Centraal Grand Café & Tappery, Bay View

For North Shore families, Café Hollander Mequon is the most convenient location.

Best for: Families, sit-down meals, casual fans and groups that prefer a restaurant over a crowded soccer pub.

Miller Time Pub & Grill

509 W. Wisconsin Ave., Milwaukee

Miller Time Pub & Grill is another downtown option for the two semifinals. Visit Milwaukee currently lists its World Cup Headquarters promotion through July 17, which covers both semifinal dates.

Because the published event window ends before the third-place match and final, confirm its weekend viewing plans before relying on it for July 18 or 19.

Other Sports Bars to Call Before Going

Several Milwaukee-area sports bars have plenty of televisions and may show the remaining matches, but they have not published the same level of tournament-specific information as the venues above.

Possible alternatives include Major Goolsby’s, Steny’s Tavern, Milwaukee Brat House, Champion’s Pub, Leff’s Lucky Town, Camino West Allis and Old German Beer Hall. Ask whether the match will have sound, whether reservations are accepted and whether children are allowed during the scheduled kickoff.

World Cup Final Background

The July 19 championship will be played at New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford. It concludes the first men’s World Cup featuring 48 teams and 104 matches across the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The final will also include the tournament’s first major halftime musical show, featuring Madonna, Shakira, BTS and Justin Bieber, according to Reuters.

• Bring lawn chairs for Klode Park, Moran’s and Lakefront Brewery.

• Check the forecast and organizers’ social media before attending an outdoor event.
