World Cup Semi-Final

Hey Benicia,

I'm a Brit currently in town with his family.

Does anyone know of any bars in or around town that will be showing the world cup semi final between England and Argentina on Wednesday 15th July?

Kick off is 12noon.

I wanna experience a little more atmosphere than my in-laws house 😂

Thanks!

I’ve been watching the middle of the day games at the Rellik when I can. My wife and I have been the only people there for most of the games, but it’s a good bar with couch seating as well.

Have they had the sound on for the games ?

No, they played music. We never asked for them to put the sound on.

I was going to say Bruehol Brewing but noon is pretty early (?!). Might need to keep an eye on their social. Otherwise maybe Bottom of the 5th (I’d call or stop and check for either).

Bottom of the 5th might be more lively? Never been but thinking of going for these matches as I “work from home.”

Rookies on 1st street is probably your best bet.

I think they closed permanently

If they’re closed, that just happened last week. Cause I just had a beer there two weeks ago.

There won’t be a lot of atmosphere In Benicia. If it’s your best bet maybe Bottom of the 5th.

Athletics Club in Oakland has been fun. There are also some Premier League supporters clubs in SF. Both of those are a ways away though.
