The Globe may be an English pub—which even starts airing English Premier League soccer as early as 6 a.m.—but it's also very much a soccer bar. From U.S. soccer to the World Cup, you can bet it'll be aired on their plethora of flat-screen TVs. While you cheer on the gals to victory, imbibe on pints of everything from British brews to domestics, while noshing on a variety of pub grub, some British classics, like fish and chips, and American standbys, like burgers, included.

This River North pub may have three levels, all decorate in a charming Irish style, but expect it to be packed come game time for all the big soccer matches, and that goes for the Women's World Cup, too. The Irish owned and operated bar also features an array of made-from-scratch cuisine, making it a great place to catch the match while having some of the best Irish cuisine in the city (and that includes the boxtys). As for ordering drinks, there's plenty to choose from, Irish or otherwise. And while this pub may be Irish through and through, you'll find plenty of U.S. soccer supporters in the crowd, as it is a US soccer bar, too.

There's a lot of reasons to hang out at this River North restaurant and bar, and the soccer games playing on the TVs are one of them. Even with its location near Wrigley Field, it's a soccer bar through and through. After all, they air all the English Premier games, starting as early as 6:30 a.m., and bill themselves "not you father's soccer pub." And the same can be said when the Women's World Cup rolls around. While watching every last match, enjoy plenty of craft beers and, of course, a top-notch burger. (Chances are the World Cup will also be shown at the River North location, but call ahead; the downtown spot is reopening May 1).
