  • Top 5 Sports Bars in Paris to Watch Football or Rugby!

Last Updated: 6 April 2022

Summer is in full swing, and it is time for a well-deserved vacation. We all need a trip to Paris, and what better time to visit Europe than during the UEFA European Football Championship? This is a great opportunity to watch the exciting matches alongside the enthusiastic French fans, in the most beautiful city in the world. Here are the top 5 Sports Bars in Paris you can visit to watch and bet on the upcoming matches.

 

The Belushi’s

This is considered to be the sports bar because you can watch almost any sport, whether it’s boxing, hockey, rugby, or football. In the summer months, the European Football Championship, as well as Tour de France, is perhaps the most relevant.

They show the matches on HD TVs and projectors, so you won’t miss a single free kick or penalty. The fantastic atmosphere is what makes this place so great.

Belushi’s has two sports bars in Paris, located in the 10th and 19th arrondissements:

The Harp Bar

What about a true Irish experience in the middle of Paris? In this bar, you don’t need to learn to speak French to get a beer and watch the game. This is heaven for every football and rugby fan, and those fond of Tayto and Gunness. The Harp Bar is authentic, casual, and relaxed and suits you well if you want to spend a night with friends watching sports.

The Long Hop

If you would like to watch sports outside, then The Long Hop is the place for you. This is a classic sports bar with a friendly ambience. You can choose between a table in the Paris sun or the shade for a better TV view. As needed for any good match, there is a wide selection of beers and wines to enjoy. This could be the perfect place to watch the finale!

The Café Odilon

During a family vacation, this bar is the perfect option! It is a more kid-friendly sports bar as it is quieter than your regular bar. While a sports bar might not be the typical destination for a family trip, it is better to teach the kids early, and bring them with you to an exciting match! At The Café Odilon, you will enjoy refreshing juices and bioproduct dishes, with a view of the beautiful canal.

The Bombardier

Last, but certainly not least, this is a true, English sports bar where the wins are celebrated as only the Brits can! You will be served British beers and ciders, and the classic fish & chips, to complete the experience. We bet this place was filled with cheers when the English National Football team won the match against Germany, and many sports bets were won.
