All eyes are on Russia. The World Cup is here.
But where are you going to watch the games. At home? Where you would have to make your own food and drinks?
If that sounds like too much work — especially in the wee hours of the morning when some of these matches start — you’re in luck, because metro Atlanta is littered with pubs that offer awesome food and drinks and show soccer on big screens.
Wherever you live in Atlanta, a soccer pub isn’t too far away. From June 14 to July 15, here’s where you can watch the beautiful game in Atlanta:
