As well as being home to some of the best sports teams and stadiums in the country, there are also lots of excellent sports bars where you can sit back, watch live footie matches - or maybe try out a bit of Cheltenham Gold Cup betting- as you enjoy some decent food and drinks, and take in the atmosphere. Whether you're a serious football fan, a rugby lover, or you prefer American sports, there are sports bars that cater to all tastes.
Here, we’ve brought you a list of some of the very best sports bars in London - so you can get the experience that’s right for you.
The Porterhouse In Covent Garden
Covent Garden is one of the most exciting and cool places in the city - and The Porterhouse is always worth a visit. Situated right in the heart of Covent Garden, this is a multi-level Irish pub that has become popular thanks to its impressive selection of beers and fun and sporty atmosphere.
This is a massive venue that has lots of big screens where you can watch the latest football matches and rugby games - and they even show American sports from time to time. Sometimes, there’s even live music after the games, making it a great place for a sporty - and musical night out!
The Faltering Fullback In Finsbury Park
Heading a bit further north, we have a lovely hidden gem - the Faltering Fullback, which has earned a reputation for its cosy, if somewhat eclectic, décor. This bar is particularly popular with rugby fans (as the name suggests) but, as well as that, it also screens other big sporting events.
The venue has a multi-level beer garden which adds even more to its charm, and you can enjoy seriously tasty Thai food- making it a great place to watch a bit of sporting action.
Bar Kick In Shoreditch
Head over to the trendy Shoreditch districtand there’s Bar Kick - which is a great bar for football lovers. You can check out the superb selection of craft beers and take in the buzzing atmosphere as the fans cheer on their teams.
The bar has massive 4K screens where you can watch live football matches from all over the world… and there’s even some table football to keep you entertained during halftime.
The Cabbage Patch In Twickenham
Then we have what’s considered to be one of the best rugby pubs in London, The Cabbage Patch - which is an absolute institution for rugby fans living in London. Perfectly located near the world-famous Twickenham Stadium, this is the perfect place to grab a pint before - or after a game.
On match days, the atmosphere can’t be beaten as it’s packed out with passionate supporters. You can also fill yourself up on classic British pub fare - and wash it down with a decent selection of drinks.
Frankie’s Sports Bar & Grill In Hammersmith
This is a bar that does exactly what it says… sports and grills! If you’re a fan of football, you live in the region of Hammersmith (or you just happen to be passing), then this offers a great sports bar experience.
What’s more, it’s situated close to the home of Chelsea FC - Stamford Bridge, so you can imagine how many football fans flock to the bar, especially on match days (although you may want to pipe down a bit if you’re an Arsenal fan!) It has lots of large screens, a fantastic menu of burgers and grills - and the perfect sporting atmosphere.
Walkabout Temple - Temple
If you like a bit of an Aussie vibe while you’re watching sports, then Walkabout Temple is definitely the place to be. This bar shows a massive range of sports - including football, cricket, rugby, American football and more.
It always attracts a lively crowd, very attractive drink deals, and an atmosphere that wouldn’t feel out of place in the heart of Sydney. If you’re a sports lover looking for a fun night out, this is a great option.
These are just some of the superb sports bars in London - a city full of incredible experiences!
