The FIFA World Cup: It only happens every four years, which makes it all the more special. Bringing together 48 nations from around the globe, the world’s biggest soccer tournament is happening right here in North America this year. That means the games are actually at times when we can watch them from a local bar.
Here are some of the best spots in NoVA and DC for viewing as well as snacking and drinking.
Kicking off on June 11, all Astro locations will offer $5 special game-day deals in celebration of the global tournament. The specials include the famous loaded nachos, which pair perfectly with any of the nearly 20 beers on tap. 4001 Campbell Ave., Arlington
With 16 beers on tap and a dog-friendly patio, this bierhall is the perfect spot for World Cup viewing. Watch on an array of big screens while eating bratwurst and pretzels served with biercheese. Rooting for Germany is optional. 4100 Fairfax Dr., Arlington
Streaming all World Cup games at the Ballston and DC locations, Immigrant Food will be offering a “World Cup Combo” deal, which includes a choice of beer and Greek wings served with a creamy feta dip for $13. 4245 Fairfax Dr., Arlington
Ireland didn’t make this Cup, but this is still one of the best spots in all of the DMV to watch every match. Named America’s Best Soccer Bar 2025–2026 by Men in Blazers, it’s the go-to place for soccer. 2051 Wilson Blvd., Arlington
