Away Days Brewing Co. carries on the spirit of the owners' old footy bar, Toffee Club (RIP). Its wee Brooklyn taproom will show games during its regular hours, but instead of trying to cram all the soccer energy into that small space, they're taking over the US National Bank Building downtown at 326 SW Broadway. To manage the crowd, it's a ticketed event, with entry $10 per game and options to buy reserved group spots (bucket of beer included) or a $450 Willy Wonka–esque "golden ticket" for access to every match, with a special VIP entrance to skip the lines. Find sandwiches and snacks from Elephants, plus other food pop-ups. There might be limited tickets available at the door, but Away Days recommends grabbing them online in advance—knockout round tickets will be released later, when the teams are set. The event is all ages, but anyone under 18 needs to go with an adult, and Away Days warns that "it’s likely to get loud, busy and passionate for some games. Parental discretion is advised."

This long-standing bar and café is a regular hangout for Arsenal fans during the Premier League season, but you don't have to be a Gooner to catch a game here. It's showing all matches, and members of Timbers-and-Thorns fan group the 107ist can snag discounts on menu items.

A go-to for Timbers and Thorns game days, this Southeast Portland brewery is adjusting its hours a bit to show every World Cup game that starts at noon or later. In addition to the taproom TV, an airy chamber off to the side has tables facing a huge screen. (Expect extra crowds on June 13, when Gigantic hosts the Elements of Hip Hop Invitational, with $10 admission, performances all day, and a live mural painting.) While the main location is 21 and over, Gigantic's Robot Room at Montavilla's Rocket Empire Machine food hall is all ages.

This TV-packed SE Hawthorne soccer bar has a screen outside, too, and offers both indoor and outdoor service through the entire tournament, with its regular hours adjusted slightly to show every game. Minors allowed before 8, but if you're posted up outdoors with the family, don't let anyone toddle off the sidewalk onto Hawthorne.

McMenamins plans to show the USA games—against Paraguay June 12, Australia June 19, and Türkiye June 25, plus possible knockout games if they do well—in the movie theater at this converted elementary school. Screenings are free and all ages. McMenamins is hosting USA watch parties downtown at Ringlers Pub, as well.

Normally an option only on Timbers or Thorns game days, this members-only space kitty-corner from Providence Park hosts watch parties throughout the tournament. Not an official member of the nonprofit that coordinates activities of the Timbers Army and Rose City Riveters supporters groups? A day pass is $10, or you can get an annual membership for $30. (The 107ist also has a list of partner bars hosting watch parties, no membership required.)

We know it's the Oregon Museum of Science & Industry, but that S might temporarily stand for Sports while the museum shows select matches on the Empirical Theater's giant screen. Screenings are free (museum admission not required) and all ages, with beer, wine, cider, and snacks available for purchase. 

Plenty of seats in this sports bar across from the convention center have sight lines to multiple screens, so it's a good spot for that last part of the group stage when two matches happen at the same time. If the World Cup stirs up a lot of nervous energy, people can shoot baskets with row of Pop-a-Shot machines.

Brooklyn Carreta, Chill N Fill, Cartside, Arborlook, BG’s Food Cartel in Beaverton.... Not only can you grab a beer and watch the game, but with multiple carts to choose from, chances are high you might be able to enjoy the cuisine of the home country of one of the teams on the screen. On N Mississippi Avenue, expect Prost! Marketplace to be especially hopping for Germany games—it was fully decked out for the mere send-off friendly between Germany and the US before the tournament started. In the Central Eastside, WonderLove hosts watch parties for USA games, with souvenir glasses for sale. 

A North America–hosted tournament means fans won't lose sleep and most bars don't have to shuffle their hours to capture the crowds. (All these games on our own continent does mean we might miss work, though—shhh!)

If you're hoping to entirely boycott the tournament because of general corruption, FIFA's ridiculous fake peace prize for the US president, price gouging, the US government’s visa shenanigans, the potential ICE powder keg, the event's carbon footprint and impractical travel logistics (Jordan's games are in San Francisco and Dallas, but the team is based at...the University of Portland?), or any number of other horrors, good luck. This is the men's tournament, though, so the Sports Bra, which is devoted to showing women's matches, might be a safe space.

At any bar, a local Portland Fire game, the Stanley Cup finals, or the Knicks–Spurs NBA championship (if it goes past Game 4) might take precedence over a World Cup group stage match. And remember that hanging out at your corner tavern with some pals and watching TV is supporting a local business and not directly lining FIFA's pockets or endorsing an authoritarian regime.
