World Cup 2026: The Best Bars to Watch the Matches in Paris 11

The world's biggest football event is finally here. From 11 June to 19 July, 48 nations go head to head on American, Canadian and Mexican pitches in one of the most anticipated tournaments in years. Les Bleus kick off their campaign on 16 June against Senegal, with matches scheduled between 9pm and 11pm Paris time.

In the 11th, the atmosphere is set to deliver. And if you're staying at Hôtel Fabric, a handful of local addresses are worth knowing before the opening whistle.

• La Bonne Décision pairs carefully crafted cocktails with sharing plates in a relaxed setting. The kind of place you settle into for a match and end up staying long after the final whistle.
  10 Rue Oberkampf, 75011 Paris. 6 minutes' walk from Hôtel Fabric
   
• Le BAP is a different proposition altogether: pool tables, table football, big screens and a room built for group energy. The one for nights when you want to feel the full force of tournament fever.
  111 Rue Saint-Maur, 75011 Paris. 9 minutes' walk from Hôtel Fabric
   
• Attitude Bar, just three minutes from the hotel, is the closest option on the list. Unfussy and unpretentious, with everything you need for a good-natured match night.
  60 Bd Voltaire, 75011 Paris. 3 minutes' walk from Hôtel Fabric

And for those who fancy a change of scenery:

• Frog Hop House is well worth the trip for fans of the classic English pub experience. Wide beer selection, screens at every turn, and a crowd that's there for the football.
  2 Boulevard des Capucines, 75002 Paris. 23 minutes by Metro line 3 from Hôtel Fabric

Three vibes, four addresses, one goal: not missing a single match. For more ideas depending on the evening's fixtures, Fanzo is a useful resource, just enter the hotel address to filter by proximity.

As always, the Fabric team is on hand to point you in the right direction based on the night's line-up.

Happy World Cup to all, and may the best team win!
