Live Sport

Awarded #1 Sports Bar in America by Yelp in 2026. Fourteen screens, full sound, and we open early for kick-off.

The Home Teams

San Diego plays,
we put it on

Three clubs, three seasons that barely stop overlapping. We follow all of them, and on the big nights the sound goes up and the patio fills.

San Diego Padres

Major League Baseball

San Diego Padres

Brown and gold on every screen from opening day to the last out. Day games with lunch, night games with a pint.

MLB season · Apr – Oct
San Diego FC

Major League Soccer

San Diego FC

The city's own MLS side. A proper football crowd in a proper football pub — come early on derby nights.

MLS season · Feb – Oct
San Diego Wave

National Women's Soccer League

San Diego Wave

NWSL matches on the big screen, and one of the better crowds in the city for them.

NWSL season · Mar – Nov

Football

Premier League

Kick-off is at 4:30am
and we'll be open

This is what a British pub in San Diego is for. Premier League Saturdays and Sundays, Champions League midweek, the Europa League, the FA Cup and the internationals. Full English on the table by the time the anthem plays.

Lights out at whatever hour the calendar decides. We put on qualifying and the race — and for the European rounds that means we're open and pouring before most of the city is up.

Breakfast is served from 8am on Saturdays and Sundays, which lines up rather neatly with most of the grid.

FreeTo watch — no cover, ever

For the big ones — a final, a derby, a title decider — book a table. We fill up, and the tables in front of the main screen go first.

Can't See Your Match?

Ask, and we'll
do our best

If it's being broadcast, there's a good chance we can get it. Ring the pub or drop us a line with the fixture and the date — the earlier the better, especially for a group.
