Best Bars to Watch FC Bayern Munich in the US Midwest, Plains & Texas (2026 Edition)

Cleo's Bar & Grill is the home of Chicago Supporters FC Bayern, and the bar's own marketing line says it all: 'Chicago's home of International Soccer.' The pub serves as official supporters' home for many big-name European clubs alongside the Bayern Munich faithful, and the Ukrainian Village setting on West Chicago Avenue puts it in one of the most distinct neighborhood pockets on the city's West Side. The bar has cultivated a reputation among Chicago soccer fans as the go-to early-morning Bundesliga and Champions League destination, with regulars who genuinely care about results.

Old German Beer Hall is the home of Mia San Milwaukee, the city's Bayern Munich fan club. Established in 2005, the venue is a deliberate Milwaukee tribute to Munich's iconic Hofbräuhaus (i.e. Hofbräu München brewery adhering to the 500-year-old Reinheitsgebot purity law) . The location at the corner of 3rd and State, directly across the street from the historic Usinger's Famous Sausage factory, places the beer hall in the heart of Milwaukee's Old World 3rd Street German cultural corridor. Few venues anywhere in North America deliver Munich beer-hall authenticity this consistently.

Bierock Madison is the official Madison FC Bayern Munich Fan Club chapter headquarters. Mia San Isthmus has been gathering here for every Bayern Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, and Champions League fixture ever since. The bar's signature dish is the bierock itself: a Volga German stuffed pastry traditionally filled with beef, cabbage, onions, and seasoning. Owner Amanda's own heritage traces directly to that Volga German lineage.

Fado Irish Pub at Easton Town Center is the home of Mia San Columbus, the central Ohio Bayern Munich fan club. The pub is part of the established Fado international Irish-pub group with sister locations in cities including Atlanta and Miami, all of which carry consistent commitment to international soccer programming.

KANTINE Biergarten is officially recognized by FC Bayern Munich as one of only a small handful of designated fan-club sites in the entire United States, and it is the proud home of Cincinnati's Over the Rhine Bayern Munich fan club. The biergarten is owned by Peter, who takes genuine pride in delivering authentic Southern German cuisine that transports diners straight to Bavaria. The recent move to the West End location at 1220 Harrison Avenue gives the venue a charming red-brick building with natural wood, industrial beams, and exposed brick interiors.

Kansas City Bier Company is the home of FC Bayern Kansas City, and it is the largest locally-owned brewery in the entire Kansas City metropolitan area. The brewery's commitment to authentic German tradition is the institutional identity with the motto 'We put the i back in Bier.' Located in the Waldo neighborhood directly along the Trolley Track Bike Trail, the brewery has become a destination for Kansas City cyclists, German-Americans, families, and Bayern fans across the metro.

Rathskeller Bier Haus is the home of FC Bayern Omaha, and the venue is designed specifically to bring the storied traditions of Bavaria to the beating heart of Omaha's metro area. Located in the Blackstone District at 4524 Farnam Street, the building dates to the early twentieth century - originally the home and workplace of Omaha contractor John Harte, who lived in the upstairs apartment. The venue's Facebook following has grown to over 6,500 fans during its short tenure.

Empire Bar is the home of Mia San Mia Tulsa and the Tulsa chapter of American Outlaws (the US men's and women's national team supporters' group). The bar self-describes as 'an authentic UK/Irish pub' with a deliberate focus on real football rather than American football, and the dual fan-club identity makes it Tulsa's primary international-soccer destination. The Cherry Street setting at 1516 South Peoria Avenue puts the bar in one of Tulsa's most walkable neighborhood entertainment corridors, which gives match-day crowds easy access to the wider Cherry Street restaurant and bar scene before and after fixtures.

The pub's commitment to football is genuine - Bundesliga, Champions League, La Liga, English and Scottish Premier Leagues, MLS, US national team fixtures, rugby, etc.

Scholz Garten is genuinely one of the most historically significant venues anywhere in this Bayern Munich global series. Established in 1866 by German immigrant and Confederate Civil War veteran August Scholz, the venue is the oldest continuously-operating restaurant in the entire state of Texas and the oldest beer garden in America. Scholz Garten has been a Texas Historic Landmark since 1967 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979. In 1966, the Texas legislature passed House Resolution #68 recognising the venue as 'a gathering place for Texans of discernment, taste, culture, erudition, epitomising the finest tradition of magnificent German heritage in our State.' The venue has been owned by The Austin Saengerrunde, a German singing club founded the same year, since 1908.

Harwood Arms is the home of the FCBTX Dallas chapter, and the pub's own About page makes the commitment explicit: 'catch every Chelsea and Bayern match with fellow fans.'

The pub is officially the watch home for the North Texas Blues Chelsea FC supporters' group as well as the FCBTX Dallas Bayern community.

Upper 90 on College is the home of the FCBTX Fort Worth chapter and was Fort Worth's first sports bar in the trendy Near Southside district. The pub takes its name from the 'upper 90' soccer term - the top corner of the goal where strikes give a goalkeeper no chance — which signals the bar's serious soccer identity. Located at the corner of College Avenue and Magnolia Avenue, the venue has built a loyal Fort Worth soccer community through years of reliable Premier League, Champions League, World Cup, and Bundesliga programming. Fort Worth's official 'FC Bayern Munich Day' on April 12, 2025 was declared in recognition of the FCBTX fan club's broader work, and the Fort Worth chapter routinely uses Upper 90 as its home base.

The German Pub is the home of the FCBTX El Paso chapter, and it provides El Paso's primary German-themed Bayern Munich watch venue..

Jack & Ginger's Irish Pub is the home of the FCBTX Houston chapter. The pub is part of the Jack & Ginger's Austin-Houston brand, originally founded in Austin's Domain district in 2016 (still open at 11500 Rock Rose, Austin). The Houston operations have a complicated recent history: the original Midtown Brazos Street location has closed, but Jack & Ginger's HTX continues to operate per the brand's Facebook page. Please verify the current Houston location directly before your visit.

Wild Barley Kitchen & Brewery is the home of Mia San Antonio, the FCBTX San Antonio chapter, and the venue earned national attention in early 2025 when Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured it in an episode that aired January 17, 2025. The brewery's institutional motto says it perfectly: 'Slow Food, Served Quick with a Beer.' Located on Broadway in the Alamo Heights area, the brewery has built a loyal San Antonio following through quality craft beer, scratch-kitchen food, and a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere that suits the FCBTX San Antonio chapter's match-day gatherings.
