Gallo Cervecero Sportsbar is a standout in Colonia Americana for its trendy yet cozy vibe, excellent beer and cocktail selection, and a menu of spruced-up wings and burgers. A room full of screens and a lively crowd make game days especially fun, and it’s walkable from most spots in Colonia Americana.

Gallo Cervecero Sportsbar: C. Progreso 79, Col Americana, Americana, 44600

SkyGamers Sports Bar

SkyGamers Sports Bar isn’t messing around — its bar is literally ringed with enough TVs to show over a dozen matches at once. The beer is cold, the crowd is dedicated (no matter who their team is), and despite being in Centro, just east of Colonia Americana, the bar is walkable from many parts of the neighborhood.

Rush Sports Bar’s main obsession is auto racing — but during the World Cup, its second passion takes center stage. Expect an international crowd here, in a location you’ll need to Uber to, though it’s convenient for those staying at hotels north of the stadium.
