The Rusty Nail

A proper British pub perched along sunny Esplanade Avenue in a historic house with a wraparound porch and sun-drenched patio. The Bell brings the spirit of the London gastropub to New Orleans with a menu inspired by institutions like Sweetings, St. John, and Rochelle Canteen, alongside a raw bar and oyster program. Listed on the official Premier League USA Bar Finder, the pub shows soccer matches on two TVs in the pub room. The fireplace-warmed dining room and lush patio plantings create an atmosphere more refined than a typical sports bar -- this is for fans who want a perfectly poured Guinness and fried oysters with their morning fixture.

A laid-back Irish dive in the French Quarter on Decatur Street, Ryan's has been a go-to for visitors and locals looking to catch Premier League matches since long before soccer was trendy in America. Multiple widescreen TVs throughout the bar show English football alongside NFL and other sports, and TripAdvisor forum regulars consistently recommend Ryan's for EPL viewing in the Quarter. Open from 10:30 AM daily (10 AM on Fridays and Saturdays), the pub does not serve food but staff will happily point you to nearby hidden gems. The energy is electric yet relaxed -- exactly what you want from a French Quarter pub on match day.

Open daily from 9 AM, J&J's offers 12 draft beers with $3 PBRs always available, pool tables, a jukebox, and a courtyard with the pub cats roaming freely. The bar hosts cookouts and potlucks during big matches, creating a genuinely communal atmosphere.

The official chapter bar of the American Outlaws New Orleans, the city's US National Team supporters group. This classic Irish Channel dive at 3101 Magazine Street has been many things in its 50-plus-year history -- liquor store, even a brothel -- but today it is an unpretentious neighborhood bar with 12 game TVs, billiards, darts, and the cheapest drink prices in town. AO NOLA gathers here for USMNT, USWNT, and World Cup qualifiers with sound on and flags flying. Open late (until 5 AM on weekends), with amazing food pop-ups and a 3-8 PM happy hour Monday through Friday.
