ATL’s Summer of Soccer Is Here (Are You Even Ready?)
“The world’s game — for all of the world’s people.”
Atlanta gets that. This city is already showing up loud, proud, & ready to play.
Okay but real talk… Atlanta is gearing up for the actual World Cup in 2026, but this summer? We’re already playing like we mean it. ⚽️
Whether you’re a die-hard fútbol fan (hi, it’s us), a casual day-drinker, or just here for the vibes, ATL has plenty of spots serving cold beer, big screens, & community energy for this summer’s soccer madness.
So lace up your Sambas (or don’t, we won’t gatekeep the outfit) or grab your 90’s Umbro swag & hit up one of these local gems to catch the game.
REMINDER: The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 tourney kicks off in ATL at Mercedes-Benz on Monday, June 16 with Chelsea vs. LAFC.
⚽️ NERDY PICKS:
Centennial Yards – FREE World Cup tailgate party on June 16. Music, drinks, food, & big energy downtown? See you there!
Round Trip Beer (Atlanta & East Cobb) – Brewery energy with great pours & open space. It’s even family-friendly.
Bottle Rocket ATL – A low-key Castleberry Hill fave with drinks, projector, & match-day vibes that hit.
El Ponce – Tacos + tequila + fútbol = yesss please. PRO TIP: Occasional coffee pop-ups that I LOVE!
Brick Store Pub – Cozy pub vibes in Decatur, come early for a seat. PRO TIP: Brickstore’s biergarten in the back is shaded & surprisingly peaceful for a match.
Halfway Crooks Beer & Halfway Crooks Biergarten – Rooftop or Biergarten? Screens? We love to see it.
The Brewhouse Cafe – A Little Five Points classic, & they go hard for match day.
BONUS HANGS FOR GAME DAY ENERGY:
📍 Der Biergarten (my fav if you’re repping Schland 🇩🇪) Raise a stein. Prost!
📍 The Midway, Fadó, El Tesoro, Manny’s (Coys C’mmon Spurs), Public House, Righteous Room, Family Dog, The Stratford, Corner Tavern (Hapeville), STATS +more.
BREWERIES THAT GET IT:
🍻 Wild Leap
🍻 Monday Night Garage (XL projector screen!)
🍻 Scofflaw (Mac Author Tap Room)
🍻 Halfway Crooks rooftop (again, because it slaps)
POV: You + the crew posted up, beers in hand, yelling at a ref on a projector screen = core memory loading.
So tell me, where are you watching the game? Let’s make this summer our warm-up round for 2026 🥅
