Where to Find World Cup Watch Parties in San Antonio

We know San Antonio shows up for the Spurs, but we also know that some of you are raging futbol fans. Though the U.S. men's soccer team isn't playing, there will be plenty of action to take in this next month. Here's where to take in some footy (if you're fancy like that).

Freetail Brewing Company // Freetail Brewing Brewpub is known around town as the official stomping ground of U.S. national team super fans.

This spot gets crowded so unless you anticipate that you’ll be too excited to sit, (which we wouldn’t blame you for) be sure to get there early to swipe a seat. 4035 N. Loop 1604 W.
