In a few days, the most anticipated sporting event on the planet will begin – the 2026 FIFA World Cup. For more than a month, millions of fans will live with every goal, penalty and last-minute twist. And if you prefer to share the emotion with friends instead of in front of the TV at home, Plovdiv offers several great places to watch the matches with a beer in hand and a football atmosphere around you.
Temple Bar
Located on the second floor of a building on the Main Street, in close proximity to the Drama Theater, Temple Bar offers a fairly wide variety of beers and a perfect setting for watching sports events together with several screens for following different matches.
Cat and Mouse LOCAL
The popular bar in the neighborhood not only attracts all the photo lenses and Instagram fans with its colorful facade, but also offers a rare privacy in Kapana. Its main part is cozy nestled between the buildings and is an ideal option for anyone who wants to escape the noise and crowd on the street. Kotka i Mishka LOCAL is mainly focused on the selection of quality beers and drinks that are produced in the region and are not mainstream and is a natural extension of the favorite beer hall in Kapana – Kotka i Mishka.
There is a projector and a 3-meter screen in the courtyard, making it the only place in Kapana with the possibility of outdoor viewing. In combination with the high-speed internet from Coolbox, we guarantee that watching any football match will become the perfect experience.
Malkite konushni
We go a little higher in the City under the Hills to recommend a bar in Old Plovdiv, which is a great choice if you want to escape the crowds in the center.
Malkite konushni has a good variety of drinks, and the outdoor area is quite spacious and excellent for a variety of events and gatherings of quite large companies.
Bally Club
For almost 30 years in existence, Bally Club has welcomed thousands of customers to its iconic weekend parties and numerous coffee or drink spots during the week. The room is the size of a slightly larger living room, which makes it extremely cozy and suitable for exactly this type of gathering. And at halftime, you can always enjoy the view from the terrace with a drink in hand to the colorfulness of Kapana on one side and to the Roman Stadium Square on the other.

The place is certainly well known to all rock and metal maniacs under the hills. When there is no event planned, however, it is also an excellent opportunity to enjoy a football match and then a game of foosball, for example. It is ideal for spending time with the boys!
Whether you are one of those people who never misses a single match, or you are just looking for a nice place to meet friends in the summer, the World Cup is a great occasion to go outside and share the football emotions. And in Plovdiv, the choice is definitely not small.
