Dallas is a sports city. When the World Cup hits, expect massive energy across the metro. Here are the best spots.
Top Watch Party Venues
AT&T Discovery District (Downtown)
The outdoor entertainment space in downtown Dallas has a 104-foot LED screen and will almost certainly host official watch events. Free entry, surrounded by restaurants and bars. This is the spot.
Texas Live! (Arlington)
The entertainment complex adjacent to AT&T Stadium will be the pre-match and non-match-day hub. Multiple restaurants, bars, and a massive outdoor screen. Expect themed events throughout the tournament.
Katy Trail Ice House (Uptown)
Dallas's most popular outdoor patio bar. Great beer selection, big screens, and the right energy for day matches. Gets packed — arrive 2 hours early for knockout rounds.
Deep Ellum Bars
The entire strip of Deep Ellum will be alive. Dots Hop House, Stirr, and The Free Man are all solid options with outdoor patios and multiple screens.
Happiest Hour (Uptown)
Massive rooftop patio with skyline views. Multiple bars and food options. One of the best outdoor watch experiences in Dallas.
