Sports bars in Singapore


It’s the moment every football fan dreads. Your favourite team is playing, you’re desperate to watch, and you can’t find a single bar showing the game. Trying to find a spot that doesn’t simply play live music every night while their TV screen sits silently in the corner is a struggle that no football lover should have to go through.

With games happening every other weekend, you can definitely do better than sitting at home while the rest of your family is asleep. So book a cab, grab some friends, and head down to one of these sports bars next time your game is on.
