Honestly, guys, I am so freaking excited for the 2016 Euro Cup. To me, there is nothing more fun than crowding into a cafe/bar/living room/basement, grabbing a nice coffee, and watching your favourite team go to town (sidenote: Forza Azzuri 2016!). Of course, it might be a little confusing to know where exactly to go to watch your fave team win. There are tons of spots in Montreal, but only a handful offer the true Euro Cup experience; don't worry about it, though. I got your back. Any Team: 1. MVP Sports Bar A photo posted by Eliza Coakes (@ellesmallz) on Nov 14, 2015 at 11:21am PST 200 Rue Sainte-Catherine E TBH, this spot has everything you could possibly ask for in an awesome sports bar. Good food, great service, an awesome location (right in downtown Montreal), and a vibe that just won't quit, definitely get yourself to MVP Sports Bar ASAP to cheer on your fave Euro team. Facebook 2. Chez Serge A photo posted by Adeline | Did | Chouk | Tek (@choukoutek) on Mar 31, 2016 at 7:34pm PDT 5301 Boul St-Laurent At this stage in the game, it's safe to say that pretty much everyone knows about Chez Serge. It's that awesome bar on the Main with the mechanical bull... and also happens to be one of the most perfect spots in the city to creep your favourite team hustling for this year's Euro Cup. Get yourselves there ASAP, friends, and prepare to rejoice. Facebook Croatia: 3. PJ's Pub A video posted by Bita (@beetabit) on Jun 16, 2014 at 2:51pm PDT 6910 Rue Saint-Jacques Croatia fan?
