I notice the Brewhouse Cafe website isn't listing the Confed Cup matches. I presume this means they don't get the appropriate Spanish networks. Is there anyone in Atlanta who does? Any bars? Anybody want to host a party? Anyone? Bueller?

next weekend and was wondering if anyone knew of any bars/pubs in Atlanta that typically show soccer games. Specifically hoping to catch someone with the European English channel that is carrying the US-Brazil game. Anyone live in Atlanta have any suggestions?

RK I'm sure this belongs in Fans & Travel, and will be moved there shortly.

But Brewhouse (http://www.brewhousecafe.com/) is the best place in terms of soccer pubs. They'll probably have the Galavision games on, but I don't think they can get Telefutura or anything that will have the US-Brazil game on. I'm currently searching for a place (maybe a Brazilian place) that will air the US-Brazil game. I'll post here if I find something.

I used to live there. Your best bets would be the Rose and Crown in Buckhead and/or Frankie's at the Prado in Sandy Springs.

Where will you be staying?

Also Fado's on Peachtree St. in Buckhead shows games ocassionally. I have to agree with theWakeUpBomb, though, Brewhouse is the best, they keep a running schedule of games they will be showing on their website, but I haven't seen anything concerning there plans for the Confed Cup.

I'll be staying south of the city in Jonesboro which is right around the airport.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Thanks for the heads up. Please let me know if you find something. I'm busy until about 1 or 2 but was hoping to find someplace that had the game on. Since I'm not from the area, don't really know where to look.

If you're staying in Jonesboro, you'll have to come north into the city. As stated by several others, the Brewhouse is by far the best place to watch matches. It's in a neighborhood of Atlanta called Little 5 Points and is located at the corner of Euclid and Moreland Ave.

I've got a pretty decent understanding of the city as I grew up in Jonesboro. I moved before I got of drinking age so I don't know a whole lot of the bar/pub scene in the city.

I checked the Brewhouse's website and have a decent understanding of where it is. I'd still have to get directions but I should be able to find it if anyone can confirm that they are showing the match.

I moved away close to 30 years ago. Back then, you could always count on Buckhead for good bars. Now, you can always count on Buckhead for good bars.

I just called the Brewhouse (10:00PM Thursday night) and they weren't sure if they were showing the matches. I live in Union City just south of the airport and you shouldn't have any problem finding the Brewhouse. If you need directions say so through a post. You can also get them through mapquest.com. It should be a 20 minute drive (at most)from the airport. I was at the Brewhouse to watch the Chelsea-Liverpool match, and last night just to hang out. It's a good place to watch a match.

Definitely, but I don't know any up there that show soccer games.

Damn...I was all excited last night because I thought I had Telefutura...now I realize it is Telemundo...Stupid "T" logo...

It seems like if they had a satellite, they would have no problem picking the games up, maybe they just haven't had people call about them yet.

They used to have a real satellite dish (and an illegal descrambler, apparently), and could get anything, but they stopped doing that years ago.

I don't think there is any way for Brewhouse to get Telefutura.

EDIT: You know what? I may be wrong about them not having a satellite dish. I'll probably stop by there this weekend to throw back a couple, and I'll try to ask around.

I called Brewhouse today to see if they maybe had not posted the games on their website, but the lady I spoke with had no clue about it; so she told me to call back next week and to keep checking the website. :(

Just got the 'affirmative' from the Brewhouse for USA vs Brazil.

I told the guy that they should update their website ASAP, given the buzz so far.
