The Best Monterrey Bars for World Cup 2026

Mulligan's is a golf-simulator concept that doubles as an upscale sports bar with a long food list and plenty of screens, per Matador Network. It suits a big-match environment without giving up a proper meal. Reserve for the knockouts.
Botanero Moritas San Pedro / South
Botanero Moritas has deep local roots, substantial food and a serious drinks list, per Matador Network. The San Pedro and south branches suit a long match night over octopus or chamorro. A local favorite for football.
Strikers Monterrey
Strikers bills itself as the sports bar of Monterrey, with multiple screens and US-style match food, per Matador Network. The room runs through the afternoon and evening kickoff windows. Built for group-stage match days.
Barrio Antiguo bars Barrio Antiguo
Barrio Antiguo, the old quarter near the Macroplaza, packs bars that put screens out for big fixtures, per Matador Network. The historic strip turns festive for Mexico games. Walk it and pick a door.
McCarthy's Irish Pub San Pedro
McCarthy's is a long-running Irish pub in the San Pedro area that runs live football across its screens, per Dropt Beer. The room leans toward European fixtures and internationals. A familiar setup for visiting fans.
Garza Sada corridor sports bars Garza Sada
The Avenida Garza Sada corridor south of downtown is a main going-out strip with sports bars on the way to the stadium, per Matador Network. Several run the full slate on match days. Convenient before a game at Estadio BBVA.
"The host city fills its bars long before kickoff. Monterrey treats the World Cup as a six-week occasion, not a single night."
The Stadium and the Fan Festival
Estadio BBVA in Guadalupe, listed by FIFA as Monterrey Stadium, hosts four group-stage matches against the Cerro de la Silla backdrop. The tournament runs June 11 to July 19 across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The FIFA Fan Festival is at Parque Fundidora, a converted steelworks near central Guadalupe, across nearly 40 tournament days. It pairs giant screens with food and music, free to enter, the natural overflow when the bars fill.
Match Times in Monterrey
Monterrey runs on central time, matching the US central host cities. Kickoffs land in daytime and evening windows, with the early slate before noon and late games done before midnight.
Plan the marquee fixtures around the bars that take bookings, and treat the group stage as a chance to learn which rooms suit which crowd. Eat before the late kickoffs.
How to Run the Tournament
Group stage: spread across the listed rooms and find the one that matches your team. Knockouts: book ahead wherever booking exists, and arrive early for the marquee fixtures.
