You’ll never walk alone if you’re a Red fan here – it’s a veritable brotherhood united by devotion to what they call the “greatest Liverpool football club.” Ain’t it cute? Watch the likes of Stevie G and Xabi Alonso with the new additions of “Speedy” Gonzalez and the almost-as-speedy Craig Bellamy tormenting opponents week in week out with the official Liverpool Supporters’ Club every Saturday and Sunday. Exciting times all around. Get to the bar early for a few pre-game pep-inducing drinks during happy hour from 2pm-9pm. Features a two-for-one discount for extra hooligan fun. 1/F, 83 Lockhart Rd., Wan Chai, 2866-1918.
Jo Jo's
Own an inexplicably large head that often garners threats of a beating from random rowdy drunks behind you? You won’t have this problem at Jo Jo’s. Though your head may maintain its swollen girth, matches are shown on a 100-inch TV that ensures the viewing pleasure of all. Daylighting as an Indian restaurant, Jo Jo’s not only features tasty curry but a $300 open bar is perfect for washing away your sorrows when large bets placed on favorite teams appear to have been, in fact, misplaced.
2/F, David House, 37-39 Lockhart Rd., Wan Chai, 2527-3776
Dickens Bar
It’s a mortal sin to divide football and booze. Unless you’re being paid 30 grand a week to play football, cheered on by babes in tank tops, there’s really no reason to do anything sober, is there? So catch the games at Dickens with your boozy, lad friends and grab several cold ones from a selection of more than 30 beers (10 of which are on tap). The Dickens Bar generally attracts passionate, sport-loving crowds, especially on the weekends when games play on two big screens and several boringly small screens. Cheer, chug and revel in the sportiness of it all.
UG/F, The Excelsior, 281 Gloucester Rd., Causeway Bay, 2894-8888.
