A good Mexico City game day bar earns it three ways. The screens face the seats, not the staff. The sound goes to the game the room cares about, whether that is Liga MX, the Premier League, or an NFL Sunday. And the kitchen keeps moving through every window.
This is the shortlist of ten that get all three right, spread from a Roma rooftop beer garden to an American football warehouse in Narvarte and the British and Irish pubs around Juarez and Condesa. We ranked them on the game day experience, not the cocktail list.
