Pool tables, dartboards, and craft cocktails fill the gaps between matches. West Allis is technically a separate city but sits within Milwaukee's urban core.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
A beloved Riverwest corner dive bar that shows English soccer every Saturday morning alongside cheap pints, pinball machines, and some of the best free live music in Milwaukee. Named after Bremen, Germany, the cafe sells liter steins at discount prices -- one of only a few non-German bars in town to do so. Originally opened as a cafe in 2004, it evolved into a neighborhood institution where the soccer crowd arrives in the morning and the music crowd takes over at night.
Milwaukee's most iconic soccer bar and a Brady Street institution since 1997. Owner Mike Eitel has hosted World Cup parties since 1998, and during the 2014 tournament a crowd of over 15,000 forced the closure of Brady Street for the USA match. Opens at 6:30 AM on weekends for Premier League and 11 AM Tuesday/Wednesday for Champions League. The Nomad Coffee Bar (added 2021) serves food and coffee for morning soccer fans starting at 6:30 AM daily. Summer block parties spill into the street with outdoor screens for major tournaments. Brother bar to SportClub downtown.
A Bavarian beer hall on Old World Third Street that opened in 2005 as a replica of Munich's famous Hofbrauhaus, complete with tables and benches shipped from Germany. Home of Mia San Milwaukee, the official Bayern Munich fan club, where wearing Bayern kit earns you half-price liters on match days. The hall serves Hofbrau Munich beer and traditional festival food -- pretzels, bratwursts, schnitzel -- in a 400-year German beer hall tradition. In a city built on its Deutschland heritage, this is the natural home for Bundesliga fans.
Milwaukee's second-oldest tavern, originally opened in 1873 as a union hall for Milwaukee Iron Company puddlers and boilers.

The historic Cream City brick building features large TVs, locally sourced pizzas, table tennis, darts, and a rotating craft beer selection. A neighborhood treasure where 150 years of working-class history meets the modern beautiful game.
A proper British pub on Tannery Row since 2011, Red Lion is one of Milwaukee's top soccer destinations with a striking Union Jack ceiling, classic British decor, and a full English menu.

An upscale sports bar in downtown Milwaukee's hotel district, opened in 2018 as the brother bar to soccer favorite Nomad World Pub.

A block from Cathedral Square Park, it serves as a World Cup and major tournament destination with the same soccer-first DNA as its sibling on Brady Street. Listed on GameWatch.info for World Cup Soccer watch parties.
Milwaukee's original soccer shrine, named after Arsenal's legendary Highbury Stadium.

Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund, and Manchester City fans are also regulars. Famous for its enormous Bloody Marys served with half a grilled cheese, free morning soup, and a magic coffee ritual.
