Arsenal America

If you’re in Atlanta, there’s a perfect spot to watch Arsenal matches (and just about any other big football event you care to name!) in Little Five Points. The Brewhouse Cafe on Moreland Avenue happens to be owned by Mike Gerard (no relation to Steve!), who’s from North London and has been supporting the Gunners for ages. You can find a weekly schedule of matches they’ll be showing on the website, as well as directions and contact info.

They have ESPN, ESPN2, FSW, and Setanta running on live feeds throughout the pub, and I can guarantee you that any Arsenal match available through those channels will be running live (even if it takes tape-delaying the ManUshited or Spertz match!). It’s a friendly atmoshpere with many regulars who come in just to catch their squad playing throughout the season.

Blue laws unfortunately prohibit hoisting a pint before noon on the weekends, but they have a great selection of pretty damn authentic English pub grub, including some great breakfast selections. The staff is great and everyone knows that on weekends, it’s all about the footy. There’s usually not a cover charge unless it’s a big weekend with one or more PPV matches going, such as an FA Cup Round.

I’ve also heard that it’s just as good a venue for watching rugby events as well (if you’re into that sort of thing).

I don’t know how much more of an endorsement I could give the Brewhouse, but it you’re in Atlanta and you haven’t been there yet, you’re just WRONG. Go, now. You won’t be disappointed!
