Clubhouse Sports Bar and Grill

The bar is located a 10-minute walk from BTS Asoke, hidden away from the Soi Cowboy crowd. It offers two floors, two projectors, 14 TVs and a private area to book. Add in that the vibe’s not as claustrophobic as your usual wood-paneled British pub plus a burger that’s the envy of other sports bars, and you’re cheering.

The deal: B125 for a pint of Singha during the games.

Sukhumvit Soi 23, 02-664-1376

Roadhouse Barbecue

Bangkok’s original real-deal barbecue joint still pulls in a big crowd for its authentic, American-style woodsmoked ribs. Chow down on baby backs and beef brisket while watching all the match-day drama unfold. With three floors to choose from, you’re pretty much guaranteed a seat, too.

The deal: Special price on Singha pints during the games.

Herrity's Irish Pub

They haven’t made the World Cup since 2002, but you can still invoke the luck of the Irish at this darkwood dominated pub just beside Phrom Phong BTS station. If you’re in need of a bite, the food follows a nightly theme: think Turkey Tuesdays and Burger Wednesdays.

Mulli’s

Located on the lobby floor of the Citadines Hotel Bangkok, this Sukhumvit Soi 11 sports haven is open 24/7. The decor’s what you’d expect from a standard Irish pub, though a little lighter on the heavy timbers, while the outdoor space is littered with beer barrel tables and tall stools. Most importantly, LCD screens hang from every corner so there’s little chance of missing the live action.

The deal: B99 for a pint of Singha during the games.

Flann O'Brien's

As the name suggests, this is your archetypal Irish pub. The location out at Impact Arena makes it a popular pre-drinking spot before all the massive concerts. You’re also assured a long list of classic pub grub and, of course, big-screen sport. Even if the game’s not delivering the goods, the crowded beer garden delivers prime people-watching opportunities.

The deal: Spend B850 for a tower of Singha and get a premium gift.
