Joseph Hoffman writes, "I can catch a soccer game on
their wide screen TV in the bar. Sometimes a game will be
on, other times I have had to ask to change the channel and find
a game. Their satellite dish picks up games from South
America."

Has shown soccer in the past.
Lazy Dog Sports Grill located at 2880 Diagonal Hwy (303-440-3355) seems to be an excellent Boulder option for soccer fans.
Croc's Mexican Grill located at 1630 N. Market Street in lower downtown Denver. This location has been used by the Rapids front office and River Ratz for TV viewing parties in the back room. Make sure you call ahead and ask for either Mark or Doug (303-436-1144).
Fadó Irish Pub (also has it's own web site) located at 1735 19th Street in lower downtown (LoDo) behind The Chophouse directly next to Coors Field. While they refuse to show MLS or Rapids matches, this place does show FA Cup Premiership matches, Euro2000, and other European footy for a cover charge. Bad news if there's a home Rockies game anywhere near the time you want to watch Futbol (they will refuse to show anything but baseball). (303) 297-0066
El Rey Mexican Grill & Seafood Bar located at 1705 N. Federal Blvd (2 blocks from Mile High Stadium). Call restaurant GM Fermin Lopez at 303-480-0470 for directions (no reservations). They have paid for Pay-Per-View of all Mexico matches in the 1999 Copa America. Unlikely to show english language broadcast TV sports. 1-2 large screens (depending on event) and a few 17" TVs. Map not provided by US West phone directory so please enter the address at MapQuest.Com for exact directions.
Streets of London Pub located at 1502 E. Colfax Avenue just north of Cheesman Park on Capitol Hill. Recommended by a BIGSoccer poster as a great place that either has soccer on when you come or will gladly put it on by request. Some food items also served. Very smoky small pub (303-861-9103).
Druid Arms at 809 Main Street has been known to host PPV EPL matches early in the morning. Call 303-661-0721 for more information.
Bars With Isolated Rooms
While the below locations have not shown a direct interest in helping the soccer fan, they do have special accomodations that feature an extra room (either partially or completely isolated) for watching two sporting events with audio at the same time. In some cases, they may ask a fee to open the extra room so call ahead for exact details (and make sure the side room isn't already reserved).Denver
Lazy Dog at 4100 E Mexico Ave. Isolated room seats 100. 303-300-6666
Denver, LoDo (Lower Downtown)
Old Chicago at 1415 N Market St.
Side-bar area that can accomodate 50-75 with 1 big screen. Very close to the
Pepsi Center and Coors Field so competition will be versus baseball, basketball,
and hockey. 303-893-1806
Jackson's Hole at 1520 W 20th Street in LoDo
Right across from Coors Field so don't bother if soccer is opposite a Rockies
home game (too crowded even for the side rooms to be used for soccer). A mid-bar
area that holds 100 people with 2 big screens and a private party room in the
back that will also accomodate 150. 303-295-1384.
