Team USA’s performance against Portugal may have been incredibly disappointing on Sunday, but that’s all the more reason to cheer on the squad when they face off against Germany on Thursday at noon. In case you missed them the first time around, here are specials for cheering—and, fingers crossed, cheers-ing—them on American style, from free hot dogs to plenty of Bud.
Penny beers at Drafting Table
What’s more American than cheap beer? Every time Team USA scores a goal, you can celebrate with a penny draft. The bar is a headquarters for the World Cup, showing all 64 matches with plenty of specials, so better get there early for a seat (or even standing room).
Bud America tallboys at the Blaguard
This Adams Morgan pub is a hub for Washington sports, so it only makes sense it’s rooting for the American team. During USA matches you’ll find $4 red, white, and blue Bud tallboys.
Dollar dogs at the Pug
Say U-S-A! at this Atlas District dive, which serves $1 dogs and $3 Bud tallboys during American matches.
Free dogs at Ivy and Coney
Nothing says freedom like cheap meat. Grab a gratis hot dog with the purchase of a beer, including the bar’s signature Chicago dogs from noon to 4 (limit two per customer).
Two-buck cans at Bracket Room
Reality TV and inexpensive beer? Sounds like an American evening. Score $2 cans of beer during the game at The Bachelorette alum Chris Bukowski’s sports bar. The “Sports Junkies” from 106.7 The Fan will be hanging out starting at noon, and you’ll also find a new lunch menu.
“Fu*k it buckets” at Kangaroo Boxing Club
To say that KBC is jazzed about the World Cup is an understatement—just check out its flag-bedecked patio, where you can watch the game on projection screens, and extended hours. While not explicitly devoted to Team USA, you’ll find a very American serving of fried food in the “fu*k it buckets” ($12).
RBVs at Public (Dupont and Tenleytown locations)
Pay homage to the red, white, and blue with $5 Red Bull vodkas during the match and $3 Bud and Bud Light during games at these sister sports bars.
Free doughnuts from Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken
Snag a free red, white, and blue doughnut if the US wins; 32 are available, the number of teams in the World Cup. The patriotic rounds are also available for $2.50 as long as our team stays in the tournament.
Cornhole and Bud at Penn Social
If you like to play the all-American game of cornhole while watching games on the big screen, this Penn Quarter sports bar/playground is your place. The bar serves $3 Bud Light for all matches, boasts ample televisions of all sizes, and offers various other games such as basketball and skeeball.
World Cup Budweiser at Lucky Bar
This Dupont watering hole screens soccer year-round, so you’ll find a devoted crowd sipping official World Cup Budweiser bottles ($5 each). The rest of the menu skews Brazilian, with Rio-style street fare.
More Cheap Bud and apps at Tommy Joe’s
Catch the game at this Bethesda sports bar over $3 Budweiser and Bud Light, $6 appetizers, and other game-time specials.
