1. It Balls -Shibuya Bar-: Constant stream of sports events on four monitors
This sports bar is exceptionally proud of their gourmet burger that tastes as good as it looks. It boasts an urban interior design and features four large-screen monitors that always broadcast one sports event, like soccer, baseball, and rugby!
The bar has made special efforts to ensure all customers can enjoy their sports viewing wherever they may be seated. This is especially evident during important national matches, where you feel genuinely united with fellow fans in this most conducive environment.
The bar's signature dish is burgers, of which you'll find about ten different types that will collectively appeal to all sorts of taste buds, like the "Avocado Burger (1,380 yen, tax excluded)" and "Fried Chicken Burger (1,180 yen, tax excluded)".
These gourmet burgers are prepared with carefully chosen ingredients, and the shop's logo is branded onto the buns, making the entire platter visually unique and appealing. The burger patty is made using meat minced in two different ways, giving it a juicy texture that reminds you of steak, yet is easy to chew.
If you're having a cheeseburger, note the lusciously thick cheddar cheese on the patty and how creamy it feels with every bite. By the way, you can get a refill of fries if you ask. You'll never have to worry about leaving this bar on an empty stomach, that's for sure!
The bar offers two types of draft beer: Kirin Ichiban Shibori (600 yen, tax excluded) and Heineken (600 yen, tax excluded). If you prefer bottled beer, choose between Full Moon (700 yen, tax excluded), Hoegaarden (800 yen, tax excluded), or Weizen (800 yen, tax excluded).
When night falls, a light food menu also becomes available, so even if your stomach is at maximum capacity after one of their delicious burgers, feel free to get some finger food to go with your beer as you watch your favorite sports event being broadcast on the screens!

2. Lad's Garage Shibuya: Best-kept secret space of Shibuya Center-gai
Shibuya Center-gai is the central hub for Shibuya sightseeing, and this bar is located in a convenient spot opposite Center-gai's Udagawa Street. As the shop's name suggests, the building was originally a garage but was later renovated and converted into its current bar.
There is a total of more than 150 seats spread out across the premises aboveground and underground. Its narrow-looking entrance belies the ample space within. It's so spacious that even at full seating capacity, there is much elbow room to go around, and this is one of the bar's major selling points.
The concept behind this bar is "a place where all can interact regardless of race, culture, or age," and the striking interior design adequately reflects that ideal with a mish-mash of decors from different eras and cultures.
Besides the eight sets of big-screen monitors, a large projection screen is also set up during sporting events. Food meticulously prepared by hand is one of their menu highlights, including the 11 types of pizza baked in an authentic pizza oven, like all-time favorite "Margherita (900 yen, tax excluded)"! How about some "Mochiko Chicken (5580 yen, tax excluded)", a popular Hawaiian dish handmade with a unique twist? There's also "Plain Spare Ribs (350 yen, tax excluded)", "Takoyaki (580 yen, tax excluded)", and plenty of other food that will be excellent compliments to an alcoholic beverage or two.
Don't forget the "All-you-can-eat Popcorn (500 yen, tax excluded)" too - a staple snack for all screen-based entertainment!
The bar's impressive alcoholic beverages menu features more than 200 types of drinks for your choosing, including three types of draft beer that can be had from just half a pint (about 284 milliliters) per order for 440 yen, excluding tax.
Well-known beer brands from Germany, Belgium, the United States, Mexico, and all over the world are also available. There is English text beside the Japanese text in the menu so that foreign visitors can feel at ease ordering drinks here!

3. Shibuya Failte: Additional screens are installed for major matches!
This Irish pub is located on the fifth floor of a building a stone's throw away from Shibuya Station. The monitors suspended from the ceiling are always broadcasting sporting events. When a major sports match is on, additional large-screen monitors are brought in to hype the mood up even further.
The bar has six taps serving up keg beer from the Irish brands of Guinness, Kilkenny, the iconic British London Pride, Belgium's Vedett Extra White, and other seasonal guest beers. This selection of draft beer can be ordered from as little as half a pint (about 284 milliliters) for 600 yen, including tax.
Failte is well-known for its great food and authentic atmosphere. The "Spicy Roast Pork (900 yen, tax included)" is absolutely worth a try, although their pride and joy are the ever-popular "Fish and Chips (950 yen, tax included)". The fish batter uses white beer as a secret ingredient and is deep-fried to a perfect shade of brown, making it crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Another side dish to consider is the unique "Garlic Butter Fries."
Choose between counter seats, standing tables, and seated tables depending on the number of people in your group and what style of drinking you prefer. There are open-air outdoor balcony seats as well, if that's something that tickles your fancy, especially during warmer seasons where you can enjoy the special experience of making a toast with friends under the night sky.

This is a huge party space that can take up to 300 people. Its symbolic 360° island-style bar counter sits tall in the center of the premises, asserting its presence and giving the entire space a glitzy veneer.
The massive 120-inch screen here transforms the area into a sporting venue during major events such as national team matches. This spot was truly designed for those who love feeling the energetic excitement of fellow fans while watching a game together.
One of the secrets behind the place's unwavering popularity is its food. Offerings include items such as "Sushinu," a classic sushi that draws from the essence of French cuisine, as well as other modern and unique dishes.
More than 80 types of beer and spirits can also be conveniently ordered. The highlight of their drink menu has got to be the bar's original Japanese sake cocktails, like "Japanese Mojito (700 yen, tax excluded)" that incorporate Japanese sake into the recipe, alongside Japanese ingredients like beefsteak plant leaves and wasabi.
An in-house patissier has designed dessert to much positive reception, so if you have a sweet tooth, grab a dessert or two to chew on while watching your favorite sports event here. It'll double or even triple your enjoyment for sure!
The bar also offers private rooms for groups with eight to 15 people (reservation required), in addition to rooms for couples. These spaces were built with privacy in mind and are ideal for a group of fans who want to bask in the warm afterglow of a heated match or talk excitedly about their favorite happenings without disturbing or being disturbed by onlookers.
