Best soccer bars in Atlanta — the ranked list

Ten verified Atlanta soccer bars ranked by depth of soccer identity — from Men in Blazers champion Brewhouse to the official US Soccer bar by the stadium.

See Atlanta watch parties May 14, 2026 · Pitch Party editors

Ten Atlanta soccer bars, ranked by depth of soccer identity — meaning how much the bar is actually built around the sport, not just showing it on a spare screen. A place that’s had the same Liverpool supporters club for eight years, opens at 5 a.m. for Champions League knockout rounds, and has its owner quoted in the AJC about Premier League scheduling scores higher than a general sports bar that happens to have 70 TVs and gets around to soccer when nothing else is on.

That said, screen count and stadium proximity matter for 2026 — the list accounts for both. Eight matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium means Atlanta will absorb tens of thousands of out-of-towners who need a bar within walking distance. The best soccer bars by identity aren’t always the closest to the stadium. Both types are on this list, clearly labeled.

Method. Ten sources cross-referenced: Matador Network, Discover Atlanta, Atlanta Eats, GoodRec, PitchPubs, Scarves and Spikes, Host City Insider, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Rough Draft Atlanta, and official supporter-club home pages. Every venue required 2+ independent source confirmations. BrewDog Atlanta, which closed in March 2026, is excluded and noted in the gap section below.

1 — Brewhouse Cafe (Little Five Points)

401 Moreland Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30307

The oldest soccer bar in Atlanta and, as of March 2025, the verified best in the country — Men in Blazers ran a national bracket of 1,600+ bars and Brewhouse won with over 23,000 votes cast, per the AJC. Owner Humberto Bermúdez has run this place since 1997. Twenty-seven screens, a patio that’s the best in L5P, and an enclosed sunroom that feels like a greenhouse full of football fans. Opens at 5 a.m. for major knockout fixtures. Every league worth watching — Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Champions League — is on the rotation. It’s Atlanta United’s number-one pub partner, which means Five Stripes pre-match energy here is genuine. A second location opened on Broad Street in South Downtown weeks before the tournament, so for stadium-day visitors, Brewhouse now has an outpost 15 minutes’ walk from Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Best for: Anyone who wants the deepest soccer-bar culture in Atlanta, early morning European kickoffs, and atmosphere that doesn’t require you to explain offside to your neighbor.

2 — Fadó Irish Pub Midtown (Midtown)

933 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309

Thirty-two screens in a 250-seat venue at Peachtree and 8th — five minutes’ walk from Midtown MARTA. Fadó Midtown hosts Manchester United Supporters Club Atlanta, Chelsea Blues CFC, and the American Outlaws USMNT chapter, per PitchPubs’ confirmed supporter-club listings and Midtown Atlanta’s business profile. It’s also an official Atlanta United pub partner. Opens at 10 a.m. on Saturdays for the EPL slate, sometimes earlier for 7:30 a.m. kickoffs. For a visitor flying in for a single 2026 match, this is the default landing zone — it’s close to most Midtown hotels, the MARTA connection is easy, and the supporter-club infrastructure means there’ll be noise in the room regardless of which match is on.

Best for: Out-of-towners, Manchester United and Chelsea supporters, USMNT group-stage matches with the American Outlaws chapter present.

3 — STATS Brewpub (Downtown)

300 Marietta St NW, Suite 101, Atlanta, GA 30313

Sixteen thousand square feet, 70+ screens, seven independent audio zones, and a working brewery with table-side self-pour taps. STATS is the largest dedicated sports bar near Mercedes-Benz Stadium — Matador Network and Scarves and Spikes both cite it as the stadium-adjacent go-to, and TripAdvisor reviews specifically flag it as the pre- and post-match anchor for the stadium district. Hours on match Saturdays start at 11 a.m. On a July 15 semifinal day, STATS will be operating at capacity before noon. If you’re going to the match, STATS is the sensible pre-game call — walkable back to the stadium, big enough to absorb large groups, and stocked with house-brewed beer. The multi-level layout means there’s rarely a bad sightline.

Best for: Stadium-day pre-match crowds, large groups (10+), anyone wanting to be walking distance from Mercedes-Benz Stadium for all eight Atlanta fixtures.

4 — Fadó Irish Pub Buckhead (Buckhead)

273 Buckhead Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30305

The original Atlanta Fadó — open since 1996, one year before Brewhouse — and the official home of OLSC Atlanta, the Liverpool FC supporters club. Atlanta Eats and PitchPubs both confirm the Buckhead location as the Liverpool chapter’s base. The three-story building in Buckhead Village skews more upscale than Midtown: bigger cocktail menu, more of an after-work crowd on weekdays. But for a Saturday morning at 7:30 a.m. with a Liverpool or England match on, the bar fills with kits and scarves regardless. Opens early on match Saturdays — the Fadó live sports schedule at fadoirishpub.com confirms Premier League coverage across both Atlanta locations. For EPL and the 2026 tournament’s England matches specifically, Buckhead Fadó has the most organized supporter presence of any bar in that neighborhood.

Best for: Liverpool supporters, England match days, Buckhead residents who want a reliable EPL anchor without driving into Midtown.

5 — The Midway Pub (East Atlanta Village)

552 Flat Shoals Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30316

Home of Footie Mob, one of Atlanta United’s original independent supporter groups — MLSSoccer.com’s 2017 profile called the group’s identity a marriage of soccer supporter culture and Southern hip-hop, and the Midway has been the away-match home base since the club’s founding. The AJC’s Atlanta United fan guide confirms it. Big screen and projector setup, dog-friendly covered patio, garlic pretzels that people drive across town for. Opens at 11 a.m. on weekdays and weekends. The crowd here is different from Fadó or STATS — it’s neighborhood-loyal, Five Stripes to the bone, and gets loud in ways that a 70-screen tourist-bar doesn’t. For Atlanta United away matches during the 2026 group stage and for any fixture that maps to a Footie Mob-adjacent rooting interest, this is the one.

Best for: Atlanta United supporter culture, Five Stripes away matches, anyone who wants EAV energy over Midtown polish.

6 — Der Biergarten (Downtown)

300 Marietta St NW, 2nd Floor, Atlanta, GA 30313

Seven thousand square feet of long wooden tables, 12+ German beers on draft including Bitburger — the official beer of the German national team — and a patio overlooking Marietta Street. Atlanta Eats confirms Der Biergarten as the official Bayern Munich watch spot in Atlanta, and it’s been the city’s Germany-supporter anchor for years. It’s on the same block as STATS, which makes the stadium-district bar-hop straightforward. For the 2026 group stage Germany matches (and any Bayern-connected World Cup run), this is the specific destination — the crowd that shows up is actually German or deeply Bayern-affiliated, which is different from a general sports bar that switches to Bundesliga when the NFL schedule clears.

Best for: Bayern Munich and Germany supporter culture, Bundesliga viewing, anyone who wants bratwurst with their soccer.

7 — Limerick Junction (Virginia-Highland)

822 N Highland Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30306

Atlanta’s oldest Irish pub — open since 1988 — and an official Atlanta United Pub Partner. Since 2019, Limerick Junction has been the official home bar for Everton supporters in Atlanta, per the club’s own site at limerickjunction.com and the PitchPubs Atlanta bar guide. The pub sits on the stretch of North Highland that connects Virginia-Highland to Ponce City Market, which means parking is easier than Midtown and the neighborhood density is real. It’s a smaller room than Fadó — more neighborhood pub than destination sports bar — with a full Premier League broadcast schedule on weekends. For the 2026 tournament, it’s running every match.

Best for: Everton supporters, Virginia-Highland residents who want a proper pub over a sports-bar chain, midweek EPL matches in a quiet room.

8 — Park Bar (Downtown)

150 Walton St NW, Atlanta, GA 30303

An official US Soccer bar — parkbaratlanta.com/us-soccer confirms the designation — and one of the few downtown bars that existed before the stadium district became a sports-bar corridor. Scarves and Spikes’ Atlanta 2026 guide lists it among the top stadium-adjacent options. The Matador Network also includes it. Location is right next to Centennial Olympic Park, short walk to Mercedes-Benz Stadium. More than 50 bourbons on the back bar, local craft beers on draft, food that’s above the sports-bar average. For USA group-stage matches, Park Bar’s official USMNT affiliation means the Outlaws crowd has a natural second home here when the Midtown Fadó is at capacity.

Best for: USA matches and USMNT supporter energy, downtown pre-match drinks, fans who want good food alongside the game.

9 — Manny’s Grant Park (Grant Park)

580 Woodward Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30312

The official home bar of the Atlanta Spurs, Tottenham Hotspur’s recognized Atlanta supporters’ club — confirmed by both atlspurs.com and the official Tottenham Hotspur club site’s supporters’ directory. Manny’s is a neighborhood spot in a residential pocket south of downtown, accessible from the MLK MARTA station and close to the Eastside BeltLine. Fish and chips, Cuban sandwiches, smash burgers, covered patio, free parking in the gravel lot out back. It’s the kind of pub that doesn’t take reservations and doesn’t have a DJ, which is the point. GoodRec’s Atlanta soccer bar guide gives it a 4.5-star rating and the bar’s own website confirms darts, video games, and a full soccer schedule. For England and South Korea 2026 group matches — and for any Spurs-adjacent fan who wants to watch surrounded by people who actually care about the table position — Manny’s is the spot.

Best for: Tottenham supporters, Grant Park and southeast Atlanta residents, anyone who wants a neighborhood pub over a chain.

10 — SweetWater Brewing (Northeast Atlanta)

195 Ottley Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30324

The largest independent craft brewery in the Southeast is also an official Atlanta United Pub Partner — sweetwaterbrew.com and the Atlanta United pub partner program both confirm the relationship, as does 11Alive’s coverage of the partnership announcement. SweetWater hosts Atlanta United away-match watch parties with rows of communal tables and multiple screens. The brewery recently expanded its bar presence at Mercedes-Benz Stadium itself, opening a third SweetWater-branded bar on the stadium’s 200 level. For the 2026 tournament, Scarves and Spikes lists SweetWater as a World Cup watch-party venue. Hours on weekdays run 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., which means it’s not an early-morning EPL destination — but for afternoon and evening group-stage kickoffs with a brewery-tour add-on before the match, it’s a legitimate option that most lists skip.

Best for: Afternoon and evening matches, groups who want a brewery-plus-soccer experience, kids welcome before the dinner rush.

What’s NOT on this list and why

A few names that will come up in other roundups and why they didn’t make this one.

BrewDog Atlanta — closed permanently in March 2026, per Rough Draft Atlanta’s coverage. A pop-up called LikeMinds is taking over the Krog District space for roughly 120 days during the tournament. We couldn’t confirm enough primary-source detail on LikeMinds as a functioning soccer bar to include it — check current listings as the tournament opens.

The Pub @ EAV (formerly Elder Tree) — the venue is real and operating at 469 Flat Shoals Ave SE. Elder Tree closed and transitioned to The Pub @ EAV, confirmed by Rough Draft Atlanta and a PR release from CarenWest. The Infatuation reviewed it favorably. We couldn’t find a second independent primary source confirming it operates explicitly as a soccer bar with a regular match schedule or supporter affiliation under the new concept. It almost certainly will run 2026 matches — it’s in East Atlanta Village, it’s a pub, it has screens. But at the time of this writing, the new concept’s soccer identity wasn’t confirmed by two independent sources.

Hudson Grille — multiple locations, 50+ screens at the Midtown location, and it appears in Matador Network and Discover Atlanta’s soccer coverage. We left it off because it’s a general sports bar with soccer coverage rather than a soccer-identity bar — neither primary source we checked identified a supporter club affiliation, dedicated soccer match schedule, or anything that makes Hudson Grille specifically a soccer destination. It’s a solid option if the bars above are full.

Meehan’s Public House — Atlanta Eats and the city pillar for Atlanta both confirm it. We left it off the ranked list because it appears in two sources as a general venue near the stadium rather than a soccer-specific bar with its own community. For pure stadium-day pre-match convenience it competes with STATS and Der Biergarten, but those two have clearer soccer identity.

How to use this list for 2026

The match schedule shapes everything. Eight games at Mercedes-Benz Stadium means eight specific days when the stadium-district bars — STATS, Der Biergarten, Park Bar — will be at capacity from mid-morning. If you’re going to the match, get to your bar by 10 a.m. for an evening kickoff, or by 9 a.m. for a daytime one. The MARTA rail connection runs from Hartsfield-Jackson straight to the stadium corridor — don’t drive on match days.

For specific match types:

  • USA group-stage matches — Fadó Midtown (American Outlaws chapter), Park Bar (official US Soccer designation), or Brewhouse (early open, strong USA followership). Arrive 90 minutes early minimum.
  • England and EPL-linked nations — Fadó Buckhead for Liverpool, Fadó Midtown for Manchester United, Manny’s for Tottenham, Limerick Junction for Everton. Each supporter club sets its own watch-party time — check the club’s site directly.
  • Germany — Der Biergarten, no contest.
  • Atlanta United away matches during the tournament — The Midway Pub is the primary Footie Mob home, Fadó Midtown for Resurgence.
  • Afternoon and evening group-stage matches — SweetWater for a more relaxed brewery atmosphere; the bar doesn’t fill the way Fadó does for EPL, which is a feature on a Tuesday afternoon.

For 2026 specifically: most bars in this list are not taking reservations for watch parties — it’s first-come. The ones most likely to run ticketed events are STATS and Park Bar. Check Pitch Party’s Atlanta map as the tournament opens; watch parties with RSVP links will show up there and you can lock a spot before the bar hits capacity.
