Ann Arbor is a sports haven, with the University of Michigan right nearby — and of course the Wolverines soccer team — it's no surprise that a local soccer bar has popped up in the college town over the years. The Arena Sports Bar and Grill is always willing to put on the soccer match for you, and they're open quite late for those trying to catch an early soccer match-up. Not only is it centrally located in downtown Ann Arbor, but it also has another thing that Ann Arbor is famous for: great bar food! Matches between Manchester United and Liverpool always find a spot on television.

Since the 1950s, British transients began to pour into the area just north of the Detroit border line, all hoping to get a chance to work at one of the big three automakers and earn themselves a better life. Once they'd made a living, they of course missed the comforts of home, including their favorite sport: soccer! Thus, The Commonwealth Club was created. For over five decades this establishment has been of the oldest — if not the actual oldest — English Ex-Pat social clubs within America. As with any British social club, watching soccer is one of its main creeds, along with fine drinks and good food. For a truly authentic, British-soccer-loving experience, come in time to see whatever your favorite game is — they'll likely have it on.

Where The Commonwealth Club stands as one of the top British ex-pat clubs in Detroit, as well as the United States, Sean O'Callaghan's favors the best of Irish soccer and all of the fantastic rivalries that come with it. Not only is this establishment a certified Guinness pub (with an additional 22 beers on tap), but they also serve a complete assortment of authentic Irish dishes that will make your soccer watching experience that much better! Soccer takes top bill here on the televisions, so if you're looking for a game, especially an Irish team, this is where you'll want to come.

Again located right in the heart of Ann Arbor on the city's busy Main Street is Conor O'Neill's Pub. Inside, you'll swear that you had been transported to a much more intimate Irish pub on the other side of the pond. With sections of the bar dedicated to sports, soccer fans can come and watch their favorite European teams compete. Sometimes Conor O'Neill's will open early in order to provide a space for their fans to watch the whole game from overseas, as well. One of the best things about Conor O'Neill's is their amazing food, which goes so much further than just your average bar food!

In the real thick of summer or when the top Detroit sports teams are competing well, it can just be too difficult to find a bar or pub willing to turn on the soccer game over something like, baseball, basketball or especially American football. At those times, you might have to not only leave Detroit, but the country altogether! But don't worry — one of the best things about living in the Motor City is our proximity to Canada. Just head over to John Max Sports & Wings and ask them to put on the soccer game you're looking for. They're always happy to oblige (and offer great food and drinks, too)!
