6x Places to watch sports

Didn’t manage to snag a ticket to cheer on your favorite team live? No worries, people in Eindhoven love sports. That means there are plenty of places where you can watch the most exciting games live. At these six cafés, you can sit on the edge of your seat and yell at the referee while enjoying a beer. Let’s dive in!

Dugout

Contrary to what the name suggests, there's little sitting still and a lot of action at the Dugout. With years of experience as the very first(!) sports bar in Eindhoven, they know better than anyone how to watch sports. To start: pick a match, order a beer and a snack (for example, the old school nachos), and gather your friends for an evening full of sports on Stratumseind. Also fun: during the break, you can entertain yourself with a game of darts or table football.

Mainstreet

Besides broadcasting all sports, Mainstreet is perhaps most proud of its American menu: everything from hotdogs to Texas smoked brisket has its place on the menu. Now you might wonder: do sports and comfort food go together? Absolutely, it's called balance! Okay, back to sports. Whether you're cheering on Max Verstappen or watching the Dutch national team in action, you'll be guaranteed to experience all the iconic sports moments together here.

Radegast 040

In Eindhoven, there’s no avoiding it; PSV is the pride of the city.  At Radegast 040, you can watch every match of the most exciting club in the Netherlands with an ice-cold beer in hand. Radegast boasts 34 taps, so there’s something for everyone. Not really a beer person? Their selection of wine, soft drinks, and cocktails is also worth writing home about –and we haven’t even mentioned the legendary bar snacks yet. 

Café LouLou

During the day, you can enjoy a delicious lunch, and when the sun’s set, you can dance the night away. But, there’s one more thing: during a European Championship or other important match of your favorite football club (which is, of course, PSV), big screens appear to show your support for them. What can we say? Café LouLou is a jack-of-all-trades. 

Irish Pub O'Sheas

Are you a fan of football, Guinness, and a good dose of Irish craic? Before you get any ideas: 'craic' means having a good time together. Well, you will be at O'Sheas. Oh, and don’t forget to order yourself a delicious plate of Irish pub food. 

't Rozenknopje

't Rozenknopje, or simply 'the Knop,' has been a household name in Eindhoven for as long as anyone can remember. It probably has to do with the welcoming nature of this bar. You'll often find a mix of regulars and newcomers. Want to watch football outside your home but with that cozy living room feel? This is your go-to spot from now on!

Watch the World Cup on the big screen

Nothing is quite as nostalgic as a summer of football. What are you waiting for? Gather your friends and watch the World Cup on a big screen at the following locations: De Effenaar, Piet Hein Eek and Ketelhuisplein.
