The long-awaited Euros are coming this summer and we can’t wait to hit up the pubs and enjoy the rowdy atmosphere once again. It has been a while! With the sun shining and newfound freedom, things are getting booked up ASAP, however, we’re here to lend a hand in planning your football outings. Check out our round-up of the best places to watch the Euros in Glasgow for the next four weeks.
1. Brel
Head down to Ashton Lane, where Brel has a selection of TVs located around their venue both inside and outside. The bar, which boasts a conservatory, mezzanine, garden and fire pit, will be showing a variety of the Euro games and currently still has some availability for some of Scotland’s games for you to book. Wherever you’re sat in Brel you can watch the game, sip on plenty of beers and cocktails and even tuck into a gooey cheese fondue.

2. Glasgow Beer Works
With Scotland having qualified for this year’s Euros and playing some matches on home turf, there’s a real buzz in the city and it seems Glasgow Beer Works are on the Euros hype. The brewers have got their beer garden set up with three 50″ screens in the middle and they’ll be showing the games from the tournament from start to finish, kicking off with Scotland versus Germany on June 14. Glasgow Beer Works will not only be serving up beer but also plenty of cocktails, burritos and burgers from Rafa’s Diner. Walk-ins are available on a first-come, first-served basis but to confirm your spot book on their website.

One of Glasgow’s thriving venues Bier Halle, off of Buchanan Street, frequently screens live sports and for the Euros, they’ll be accommodating footy fans with two extra big screens indoors. Bookings are now open for the rest of the Euros, too, so you can snap up a table ready for the matches, but remember to select ‘Main Bar’ as that’s where the screens are. Enjoy cold beers, steins and pitchers, as well as 2-4-1 pizzas, chicken schnitzel sticks, bratwurst and more.

The street food market will have their big screens in place for all the big matches, too. And even if the score may not be what you’re looking for, you can always get stuck into their selection of street food, from chicken katsu bao buns and Korean fried cauliflower to fresh focaccia and ricotta gnocchi, plus sensational small plates like Padron peppers, fish tacos, honey maple ribs and buttermilk chicken burgers.
