⚽ Where to watch the World Cup finale

This Sunday is the World Cup finale, with Spain facing off against Argentina. Here are some places you can count on showing the game:

• Need to bring your kid? Soccer has always been a family affair in my world. Legends Pub & Grill, HallPass, America First Field, The State Room, Mad For Chicken, and the University of Utah Union are family-friendly.
• Bars where you can’t go wrong: Know that if you go to Beer Bar, you’ll need to get there hours early to get a seat. Consider 2 Row Brewing, Neighbors Bar, Flanker Kitchen + Sports Club, Brickyard Bar, and Engine Room.
• Si le vas a Argentina, you might want to pop in Argentina Cafe — they'll be hosting a watch party and it's sure to get rowdy.
• Can’t get enough soccer? Might I suggest heading to a Utah Royals game this Saturday, July 18. They play hard and tickets start at $17.

📣 Justice M. is loving “Salt Mine Pole Studio in the Ballpark neighborhood. They are gender and body inclusive and a great community. They also have a ton of classes besides pole, like booty shaking, burlesque, and other adult things.”
