Where to Watch Matches in North America

All alone on your bar stool in a corner of Sometown America watching the games by yourself, or worse, with some loudmouth "reds" making your life miserable? How about being on the road for business or pleasure and needing a little home from home?  Whatever your need for blue companionship, this page is intended to help you find your blue brothers and sisters across North America. If you have a local pub where you go and watch games, or perhaps you don't have a local but would love to get together to watch games then we need to hear from you.

This page will provide you with a list of places to catch Chelsea games around North America, but we need you to let us know where they are.  Yea, we could go out to the Setanta and FSC web sites but we all know how out of date their lists are, and besides, you want a Chelsea friendly pub, don't you!

So, why not drop us a line to pubs(at)ChelseaInAmerica.com and let us know the following:

• Pub name
• Address
• Brief description of the pub, atmosphere and why it is a good candidate for a Chelsea pub

GA - Brewhouse Cafe

The best place to watch football in the Atlanta area is the Brewhouse Cafe.  It's owned by an Arsenal supporter (boo!) but supporters from numerous teams gather there each weekend for good food, drinks, and atmosphere.  We have a group of Chelsea supporters that meet there for most weekend matches.  I would definitely recommend it.

Fado's Irish Pub

Overall, just a great Prem pub. As with most of the US, you’ll have to swim through a bit of red when you walk in the door. Good news, though – the side of the bar opposite the main door is Chelsea Corner, where you’re always likely to find the Blue-clad faithful. Excellent food and atmosphere – excellent location off of the Magnificent Mile as well.

North of downtown in the Lakeview neighborhood, Fearon’s is a self-proclaimed Chelsea bar. It’s now up to the locals to spread the word. Nice place with good food. Plenty of TVs and good selection of domestic and imported beer.

Located in downtown Charleston, West Virginia, the Cafe de Paris is a Fox Soccer Channel and Setanta subscriber along with TV5 from France. The breakfast is terrific and the owner is willing to open for anyone who has a particular match they want to see.
