Best soccer bars in Dallas — the ranked list

Eight Dallas-Fort Worth soccer bars verified through at least two primary sources as legitimate, established venues. We left out anything we couldn’t confirm shows soccer regularly. Where the sources disagreed on a venue’s identity, we noted it instead of picking a side.

Method. Drawn from Visit Dallas, Matador Network, BigD Soccer, WFAA, the Dallas Observer, and The Icon Restaurant’s 2026 World Cup bar guide. Cross-referenced. Ranked subjectively for matchday experience, not number of TVs.

1. The Londoner — Uptown / Addison / Colleyville

Three locations across the metroplex, which means most of DFW is within 25 minutes of one. NBC Sports voted The Londoner the top US pub for Premier League soccer. Uptown is the urban location — walkable from McKinney Avenue with patio seating. Addison and Colleyville are suburban-easy with parking.

For 2026, all three locations will run matches. Confirmed across multiple Dallas-side sources.

Best for: EPL viewing, casual matchday with friends, anyone in the suburbs who doesn’t want to drive into the city.

2. Harwood Arms — Uptown Dallas

Chelsea FC Dallas’s official supporters’ bar. The Harwood District it sits in is one of the more European-feeling pockets of the city — walkable, gastropub-dense. For 2026 the bar will broadcast all matches, not just Chelsea-flag ones, with extra TVs going in for the tournament per The Icon Restaurant’s coverage.

Best for: Chelsea fans by default, but anyone wanting a focused supporter-pub atmosphere for any match.

3. Frankie’s Downtown — Downtown Dallas

40+ HD TVs, Texas beers on tap, and Visit Dallas singled them out as running watch parties for every 2026 match. Crowd is broad, not team-specific — for a group-stage match where you don’t have a horse, this is where the energy lives without picking a side.

Best for: Match days you don’t have a strong rooting interest, large groups, anyone who wants a sure-thing screen.

4. Hero — Victory Park

Six full-service bars, a 24-foot HD screen, 24,000+ sq ft, arcade games, private upstairs lounge. Less of a supporter pub, more of a “bring 15 friends to one place” venue. Steps from American Airlines Center.

Best for: Big group watch parties (10+), matchdays followed by other Victory Park stuff, fans who want a screen the size of a small barn.

5. The Dubliner — Lower Greenville

Billed as Dallas’s longest-running Irish pub. Newcastle supporters’ base. Heavy EPL crowd, deep imported and craft beer list. Lower Greenville’s been a bar belt longer than Uptown — energy is rougher around the edges in a good way, and the regulars know each other.

Best for: EPL matches, Newcastle fans, anyone tired of the polished-Uptown vibe.

6. The Irishman Pub — Addison

120-inch projection screen and broad TV coverage. Addison is the soccer answer for the northern suburbs — Plano, Frisco, Allen, anyone on the Tollway. The Irishman has been a soccer venue for over a decade and reliably runs the big matches.

Best for: Suburban North Dallas, big-screen viewing without driving downtown.

7. Gilligan’s Bar & Grill — Patio-side

Outdoor patio with substantial space and TVs visible from the patio. Lower-key neighborhood bar — less of a destination, more of “the bar near my house that gets soccer right.” Worth knowing if you live in the right radius and don’t want to drive for a midweek match.

Best for: Casual midweek matches, anyone valuing patio over crowd.

8. Backyard Dallas — Deep Ellum, climate-controlled patio

A 12,500 sq ft enclosed-and-climate-controlled patio in Deep Ellum, with 30+ TVs and two 20-foot LED screens. The “outdoor feel without the Texas June heat” trick is what makes it work — most actual rooftops in DFW are unusable for a noon-CT kickoff in late June, and Backyard Dallas is the closest thing to an open-air venue you can sit at for two hours without melting.

Best for: Day matches in late June and July when an indoor bar feels claustrophobic.

What’s not on this list and why

A few notable omissions:

• Specific Mexican-supporter bars in DFW — they exist and they’re active, but the primary-source coverage we used didn’t name them with the consistency we wanted. The Mexican-American supporter scene clusters in Bachman Lake, Oak Cliff, and parts of Fort Worth. For El Tri matches, Pitch Party’s Dallas discover map filtered to those neighborhoods is more accurate than a static list.
• AT&T Stadium-adjacent bars in Arlington — stadium-day venues are a different category. Most aren’t dedicated soccer bars; they’re general sports bars catching matchday spillover. Worth knowing for the nine matches at AT&T, but not on the same list.
• Argentine-specific watch venues — the DFW Argentine community organizes around private parties more than a single anchor bar. See Argentina supporters in DFW.

How to use this list for 2026

The eight bars above are the framework. The actual matchday plan depends on:

• The match. USA → general sports bars. EPL → supporter pubs. El Tri → Latino neighborhoods.
• The kickoff time. Early matches favor Uptown / Lower Greenville (open early). Late matches favor places open past 11 (most of the above; call ahead).
• The crowd you want. Supporter-club energy = Harwood Arms, Dubliner. Big-screen / no-allegiance = Frankie’s, Hero. Suburban = Londoner Addison, Irishman.

For specific match-day plans, the Dallas discover map shows which bars are running listed parties for every 2026 match. Most of the bars above will appear; long-tail neighborhood spots fill in around them.
