Kansas City’s Best Soccer Bars for Fans
When the whistle blows, the city’s soccer bars become gathering points where supporters swap chants, share plates, and raise glasses to their teams. The atmosphere is as much about community as it is about the game, and each venue brings its own personality to the mix.
No Other Pub leads the pack as the official pub partner of Sporting Kansas City. The bar boasts a towering video wall that streams every match, while its extensive menu lets patrons pair a hearty burger with a craft brew or a crisp cider. Readers of USA Today recently crowned it the fourth‑best local sports bar in the United States, a testament to its blend of screen size, service, and overall experience.
Just a short walk away, Johnny’s Tavern draws a global fan base, especially supporters of Arsenal and Manchester United. The tavern’s reputation rests on its wide selection of drinks and a menu that ranges from classic pub fare to more adventurous bites, ensuring that every visitor can find something to enjoy while cheering on their side.
The Belfry offers a different kind of appeal, thanks to James Beard Award‑winning chef Celina Tio, who helms the kitchen. Her spirit‑forward cocktail program pairs with a diverse array of dishes, creating a setting where a perfectly mixed drink can be as thrilling as a last‑minute goal.
Beer aficionados gravitate toward Strange Days Brewing Co., which currently hosts Soccer Palooza, a marathon of international matchups. The brewery’s rotating taps feature special English and Belgian brews, giving fans a chance to taste new flavors while following the action on multiple screens.
Finally, Gaels Public House & Sports brings an Irish‑themed twist to the scene. The bar’s inclusive vibe, friendly staff, and broad food and drink options make it a welcoming spot for anyone looking to celebrate a win or commiserate a loss over a pint of stout.
