Eight stadiums, 64 matches, and just a little under 30 days of kickin’, slidin’, and whatever else it takes to be a professional soccer player on the big stage. That’s what you can expect to see during this year’s FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Being that country tightly regulates alcohol sales, the organizers recently confirmed that they will not be selling any such beverage inside the eight stadiums. Here in Tucson, though, there are a few local establishments celebrating the games and there’s going to be beer and cocktails galore.
Here’s a list of a few spots in town that are hosting kick-off parties.
Have you gotten a look at the new Social Club room at the brewery? For the World Cup, they’ll be open extra early so you can catch some of the games. The recently renovated room has a large projected screen and six other TVs. Here’s Borderlands Brewing’s World Cup opening hours schedule:
