On a leafy Roma Norte side street where the cantinas lean Mexican and the wine bars lean French, The Dog House Pub plants a flag for the English game and pours like it means it.

The Dog House Pub sits at Sinaloa 61 in Roma Norte, a few minutes' walk from the Insurgentes metro and the cafés of Avenida Álvaro Obregón. The bar describes itself as the most authentic English pub in Mexico City, and the claim earns its keep: European football, rugby and the rest of the British sporting calendar play on demand, so a Saturday morning Premier League fixture lands here long before the rest of the city has woken up.
The room is small and warm, the kind of pub that fills with regulars who know each other. Dark timber, a short bar and televisions angled so every stool sees a screen. The crowd skews international without losing the neighbourhood, a mix of long-term expats, Roma locals and visitors who tracked the place down for a fixture no Mexican sports bar would bother showing. Reviewers single out the warm welcome and the genuinely English feel of the room as the reasons they keep coming back rather than the size of the screens.
Eat like you mean it. The kitchen runs a full English breakfast for the early kickoffs and a fish and chips that holds its own, then swerves into chicken tikka masala and a short list of curries, the way a real London local does. Pair the food with a pint rather than a cocktail; this is a beer-and-the-match room, and the staff pour with the easy English-speaking patter that reviewers on Tripadvisor single out as part of the charm.
This is a niche Mexico City sports bar, and the niche is the point. For Liga MX or an NFL Sunday you go elsewhere, but for a Six Nations afternoon, a Champions League midweek or an early-morning English derby, The Dog House is the room in the city that will have it on. Our guide to the best bars for watching the game in Mexico City sets out where each crowd gathers.
The pub pairs well with the rest of Roma and the wider city. A short walk away, Pinche Gringo BBQ runs the big American football watch parties, in Condesa Buffalo Wild Wings Condesa brings the wings-and-screens formula, and across town Deportivo Norte keeps the Liga MX faithful close.

Timing matters here. The pub closes on Mondays and shuts relatively early the rest of the week, so it lives by the fixture list rather than the late-night crowd. Weekend mornings draw the football faithful, Saturday afternoons fill for rugby, and Sunday winds down by six. Arrive for the kickoff, not after it.
The vibe stays generous even when a result goes the wrong way. Roma Norte has no shortage of polished cocktail rooms, and part of the appeal of The Dog House is that it refuses to be one of them. It is a pub, unapologetically, in a neighbourhood that mostly forgot what that means.
What makes The Dog House worth the detour is its single-minded focus. A British-run room that will put on the rugby and the early English game in a city built around Liga MX is exactly the kind of overlooked corner worth championing. Judged on Roma Norte's own terms, it is the neighbourhood's most committed pub for the away-from-home sports fan.
