Lower.com Field is a world-class stadium and the Crew are a championship team that delight fans for about nine months every year. Luckily for passionate soccer fans who can never get enough of the action, Columbus still has plenty of options to tap into a great viewing experience when the lights and roars recede and until early spring for a new MLS season.
The English Premier League is the best soccer league in the world, filled with exciting matches and sensational moments every week. Columbus experienced this first-hand in 2024 having hosted three different Premier League clubs. If you’re looking for a place to watch games in person, check out these pubs and restaurants in the Columbus area.

Endeavor Brewing and Spirits
909 W 5th Ave, Columbus
It’s hard to find a bar more entrenched in Columbus soccer history. Endeavor was the de-facto HQ for big moments during the Save The Crew movement in 2017 and 2018. While there are plenty of crowds for Crew games, you can also head here starting at 11:30 a.m. on weekends to watch Premiere League games with others who support a number of clubs.
Fado Irish Pub
4022 Townsfair Way, Columbus
Fado at Easton Town Center might be the most eclectic group of fellow international soccer fans. Supporters for Chelsea and other Premier League clubs, as well as other international clubs, often frequent the joint. If you’ve ever been walking by Fado on a weekend in the late morning or early afternoon, you’re likely aware of how passionate the fans are.
Dempsey’s Food and Spirits
346 S High St, Columbus
Just north of the Brewery District and German Village is this rustic bar. On weekends, you’ll find the local Manchester City supporters group here.
City Tavern
697 N 4th St, Columbus
It feels natural to next point out where you’ll find the Manchester United supporters group. Despite having City in the name, this Italian Village restaurant is a great location for a Red Devlis match.
Grandad’s Pizza and Pub
4093 Trueman Blvd, Hilliard
Come On You Spurs! The Hilliard spot of this local pizza joint is where you’ll find the Columbus Tottenham supporters group. Check out the scarf wall in the corner with dozens of scarves from supporter clubs all over the country.
Pointe Tavern

Like Tottenham is to Arsenal, just a stone’s throw from Grandad’s is this excellent dive on the southwestern edge of Upper Arlington. The local Arsenal group cheers on their Gunners here.
McClellan’s Pub
6694 Sawmill Rd, Columbus
You’ll never walk — or watch — alone at McClellan’s with the local Liverpool supporters group at this establishment on the west side of the Greater Columbus area.
Olentangy River Brewing Company
303 Green Meadows Dr S, Lewis Center
For those who might be outside the city, like McClellan’s, the Aston Villa supporters group watches games at this bar near Polaris and Rt. 23.
