Women’s World Cup Final watch parties in DC where you can grab an early brew

Some bars and breweries in the District are opening their doors extra, extra early on Sunday to watch Spain and England face off in the final match of the Women’s World Cup in Sydney, Australia. This year’s tournament will crown a first-time winner and become the second nation to have its men’s and women’s teams win their respective competitions. If you’re waking up bright and early and will be in need of a brew – whether that’s beer or coffee – to accompany 6 a.m. soccer, check out some of these watch parties throughout D.C. Atlas Brew Works 1201 Half St SE Suite 120 The Navy Yard location of the Ivy City-based brewery will be opening at 6 a.m. with sour beer mimosas filled and spiked coffees.

Early morning patrons at a watch party earlier this month told WTOP that watching a game at Franklin Hall feels like “group therapy.” As You Are 500 8th St SE The LGBTQ-owned bakery and bar will be opening up early at 6 a.m. to show the final match, after staying open late for many tournaments during this Women’s World Cup. Dacha Beer Garden 79 Potomac Ave SE The beer garden’s location in Navy Yard will be open for the 6 a.m. game, but make sure to RSVP on their Eventbrite page so you can get a free beer.
