Shaker & Company in Warren Street have got into the football spirit by converting their basement drinking den into a sports bar for the tournament. This new hideaway is equipped with a large screen, all your technical wants, chilled beers to grab, superb cocktails, and a steady supply of top notch bar food. It will comfortably take 20 people, and be a snug fit for 40. But hey, your workmates are your friends, right?
I popped down to see the Russia versus Czech Republic, and while it lacks some of the atmosphere of your outright footballing pub, the home cinema feel, top cocktails and gorgeous snacks make it a perfect night out for the thinking person’s football fan.
You might want to try and pop along while our boys are still in the tournament.
