With the MLS – and in particular Atlanta United – taking over the city, it’s time to talk about the best spots to catch a game and grab a drink. Atlanta is a very culturally diverse city, much like the game itself, and it is clear as soon as you set foot in any of these various bars throughout the city. There’s a reason Atlanta is one of the finalists to host the World Cup in 2026. Check out our full list of soccer bar recommendations below, and head there with your fellow footie fans ASAP.
