If you weren’t lucky enough to get yourself over to Brazil for the tournament and you’re stuck in Sydney having to either stay up or get up stupidly early, showing up to work late or not going in at all as you’ve been celebrating or drowning your sorrows through the night, then you’ll be asking yourself one question, where’s the best pub to watch the games? Well fear not people, being the football (soccer), loving Brits we are, our writers have been on the case to put together a selection of the best pubs around Sydney to watch the games live.

In no particular order…

Ship Inn

If you’re in Sydney CDB (City) by Circular Quay then Ship Inn will be your best bet for the 2am and 8am kick off’s. If you want to watch the 2am matches be sure to get in before 1:30am as Sydney CDB has a lock out law in place meaning you’ll need to be in the venue before 1:30 at the very latest.
