Watch the World Cup in Philadelphia

Old City’s Irish pub since 1997 — four miles from Lincoln Financial Field. Every match, live, with sound on every screen.

The Plough & The Stars will be showing every match live — from the group stage through to the final. Whether you’re here for the USA, Scotland, Brazil, Germany, France, Croatia or just the beautiful game, come watch it properly: Guinness on tap, a authentic Irish kitchen, and a crowd that cares about the football. Not a sports bar — a real pub.
