Guess what? Although many people might typically picture a big burly man when asked to imagine a football fan, women like sports too. And as sporting events go, the World Cup is a pretty big deal.

Happening only every four years, it’s a special time when much of the country comes together to support their favourite team and enjoy the excuse to head to pubs and bars with friends to enjoy a tipple or two. But even though we’re all for joining in the fun and getting our football fix, you won’t be finding us in a sticky-floored venue anytime soon. After all, enjoying sports shouldn’t mean a compromise on style.

With this in mind, we’ve rounded up some of the best places to watch the World Cup, from kooky microbreweries to sleek bars, many of which have special menus and offers to celebrate, too. Take a look at the list below for suggestions in London as well as cities across the country.
