America's Top Soccer Bar 2025-26

In late 2025, the world's premier English language soccer media company, Men in Blazers, held its annual competition to crown America's best soccer bar. After making the top 100 in 2024, enough nominations from fans, the media and our supporters clubs propelled our nomination upwards and in December 2025 we were announced as a top-10 finalist in this year's competition. Over 30,000 votes later, Ireland's Four Courts was declared the winner of the competition and in April 2026 hosted Men in Blazers alongside USMNT legend Clint Dempsey for a live podcast and celebration. 

We are honored by this recognition and so humbled by the loyalty our customers have shown us over the last thirty years. We have always strived to provide excellence in soccer programming and now, as confirmed by the giant neon sign you'll see when you enter the pub, we have the bona fides to reflect three decades of dedication to waking up early, offering a quality product, and embracing our role as a leader in the soccer community of the DMV.
