The 2010 World Cup kicks off Friday, June 11th.
Though only a few bars in Portland can really be designated Soccer Bars, during the World Cup the list expands dramatically. Virtually all bars that have a TV will occasionally be tuned to world soccer this summer, and many bars, restaurants, and cafes that don’t normally sport TVs will roll in a big screen or mount an HD flat screen above the bar.
Below is a starter list of bars, restaurants, and cafes where you can catch World Cup Matches this summer, culled from the Portland Soccer Bars bar list. Please drop me a line, or leave a comment below if you know of other deserving establishments I should add to the list.
And any time you’re looking for a soccer bar, even in a non-World Cup year, visit Portland Soccer Bars to look up bars by name, quadrant or type of establishment.

What was once the Pantorium (and more recently half of It’s A Beautiful Pizza) is well on its way to becoming SE Belmont’s newest boutique vinyl shop, coffeehouse & bar: Hall of Records.
Our friends Justin and Katie have been working on the idea for several years. In February they secured a location and began building out the actual bar.
Located at 3342 SE Belmont, Justin and Katie and friends have been doing everything; dealing with vendors, perusing lighting choices, constructing tables, painting, and selecting dishes. And most recently, as you can see in the photo on the right, working on their chalkboard menu.
The grand opening is approaching (I’ll keep you posted!). Follow Katie and Justin and friends’ efforts at the Hall of Records blog, and visit Justin’s Dusty Nuggets music blog for soulfunkjazz world/breaks 45s and random heat. For the latest updates fast, join the mailing list and become a friend of the bar on Facebook.
