Update about World Cup matches.
As we've said, we'll be showing the U.S.-England game at 2:30 pm on June 12. You should buy tickets in advance ($8 tickets which include a free beer!), because it'll be really busy and we'll need to regulate the amount of people in the bar so everyone can have a good time. Ask your bartender.
All other U.S. World Cup games will be shown here at the bar, no matter what time they start (the next couple ones start at 10 am; rest assured we'll be open then). We'll also be open early for any important games late in the tournament (quarters, semis, final, at the least). If you have a largish group that wants to come watch any other game that starts before our opening time, let us know and we'll see what we can do. Just talk to us at the bar or e-mail us.
