Offers, Cheers And Beers: 5 Bars To Watch The FIFA World Cup In Mumbai

Japanese flag buntings all over, servers are wearing Japanese flag bandanas and we’re assuming they’re supporting Japan too, this Japanese eatery is all set to screen FIFA 2018.

Deal(s) available: A 3+1 deal on select beers like Budweiser, Corona and a few others. And a special finger food menu with both vegetarian options – Shichimi butter popcorn, sweet potato skewers, tomato Nanban, and beetroot Senbei with creamy Kimchi veggies; and non-vegetarian options – crispy chicken Katsu, pork Shumai, fish skewers in Tobanjan, and wasabi prawns. They are also serving cocktail pitchers at a special price of INR 999, and a tray of six shots for INR 599.

What else do they have? A Wheel of Fortune where you can try your luck. Go ahead, spin it and stand a chance to win additional discounts, buy-one-get-one on draught beer, and a free mojito or a bowl of peanuts.

When the Copa (glass in Spanish) is raised, you say cheers. Keeping their vibe of forever celebrations going, big screens have been set up to screen FIFA 2018 beginning June 14.

This popular movie bar is taking your celebration up a couple of notches. A place fit to go out with family (we just hope all of you support the same team) to watch the World Cup, Nau Se Barah understands that football is best enjoyed with beer.

Deal(s) available: Beer bucket + two starter combos starting at INR 1,349 for Kingfisher goes up till INR 1,699 with Budweiser Magnum. If your chugging abilities are more polished, go for the beer tower + two starter combo starting at INR 1,999 for a Bira tower, and INR 1,299 for Fosters.

What to munch on? Chilli cheese fries, dragon chilly bhel, harissa murgh tikka, wok tossed chicken, cheese chicken wings fiery, or butter garlic chicken balls.

With its outdoor and indoor seating, we reckon Monkey Bar’s already cheerful ambience, giant screens, and a good crowd is an added advantage to cheer for your favourite team here.

Deal(s) available: They have brought famous football snacks from around the world that will constitute the FIFA special menu, ‘Halftime’.

For the drinks, they will have some bottomless pitchers and beers, and a round of shots served every 45 minutes at half price.

What else do they have? A space divided into two parts, each arena for the team playing that day so you can pick your side and stick to it (thus averting any possible fan hustles and brawls).
