Wow that’s an excellent list of go-to Pubs in Bengaluru to enjoy the FIFA World Cup. I have been a Three Lions fan since years now and really hope this time the trophy comes home.
Quick question @Rahul001 With the World Cup set to be played in North America and Mexico, would these pubs get the relevant licence to open throughout the night? The matches are set to be played in 3 times slots - 12:30 AM, 3:30 AM and 6:30 AM IST.

Thank you @Ssiddharth2000 for your valuable comment and words :blush:.

That’s a good question @Ssiddharth2000. I seen pubs & bars opened till 1 or 2am on normal days & 3am or 4am on match days.

I don’t know whether they will get licence but I seen they can allow live screening if they don’t allow drinks after certain hours.

That would be more than enough then. I still need to check in Delhi if they made any special provisions to stay open late night for screenings, but if they can replicate what Bengaluru is doing it would be great. Thanks @Rahul001

I seen this on kochi & Trivandrum also @Ssiddharth2000. This might depend on locality too & i think Delhi would be providing late night live screening too.

@Rahul001 Thank you for your post!
It’s great to know that you love the Brazilian national team. I confess that for me, the old national team brought us much more joy. I have my doubts about whether Brazil will have good games this year, but now I have two teams to root for: Brazil and Canada.

I am with you @GasparKaren

Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos and more are expected to come to Kochi for an exhibition match against some team in my state (Kochi) which would be 3hourr journey for me & love to see them.
