Pubs To Watch The World Cup 2022

Why not make a day of it? Before settling in for the action, take a brewery tour and see the behind-the-scenes before enjoying your pint during the game. The Hicks bar is where it all began, and its buzzing atmosphere makes it a great choice for catching the World Cup – and our you’ll certainly catch the team cheering along too!
