50 days until the FIFA World Cup 2026 hits our screens!

And 5 tips to make sure you’re ready for it all kicking off on June 11th...

1. Make friends with the bar team
There are a lot of matches ahead. You’ll be seeing plenty of each other.

2. Get the app downloaded
No one wants to be three-deep at the bar when something happens.

3. Do a practice run
Bar > Table > Bar. No detours.

4. Choose your team wisely
And by that, we mean who you’re bringing with you.
(Strategically selecting shorter friends is entirely up to you.)

5. Don’t forget to book 🍻

We’ve got plenty of space for walk-ins, but if you fancy a table to cling onto when it all gets a bit tense… you know what to do.
