The bar opens early during the week for Champions League matches and for major international tournaments, reinforcing its commitment to serious football fans. Because hours can vary depending on the match schedule, supporters are encouraged to check Google for the most up-to-date opening times or email [email protected] to confirm that a specific game will be shown. The team strives to accommodate all football fan requests whenever possible. Whether you’re meeting friends for a weekend fixture or showing up early for a knockout-round morning, it’s one of Houston’s most dependable spots to catch soccer with real atmosphere.
