THE World Cup in South Africa this June and July is firing up the passions of soccer fans, as it does every four years. To help them enjoy this grand celebration of the great game, many fans are stacking their fridges and larders with enough food and drink to fully appreciate the event in the comfort of their home. But many more are searching
for the best viewing venues to share the experience with others. Some Minhang outlets are catering for hordes
of soccer fans and the following options are worth considering.
700 Beer ideal for World Cup
700 Beer is a new bar in the "Modern Lane" on Longming Road. It is operated under license to a chain store from South Korea and the outlet is its first branch in Shanghai. Although it's a Korean bar, the construction and design follows a modern European style. On the wall hang many models of sports cars and famous European structures. The overall environment is relaxing and comfortable. 700 Beer can hold over 200 people so it is ideal for watching games with friends during the World Cup. There are televisions with huge screens set up on both floors of the bar. The "cream draft beer" is considered the signature product of the business but there are many other varieties available. The top beer gets its name because it is brewed so that the bubbles really look like cream, and it also tastes very smooth and refreshing. According to the bar owner, this beer is made using modern high-tech equipment imported from South Korea. During the World Cup, if you make a reservation of one table you can get a 700-milliliter bottle of cream draft beer for free. Watching the wonderful soccer tournament games and drinking the perfect beer is definitely a double pleasure of vision and taste. The opening hours are from 5am to 2am. But one thing you should remember is that since the business is already so popular among young people and is always full at night, if you want to watch the World Cup games, you have to make a reservation one day in advance.

Footy fever at Monogatari of Sea
It's a Japanese cuisine restaurant but you can feel the football fever environment even without walking into it -- all the outside walls of the establishment are glass, through which you can see the national flags of all 32 teams in the South Africa derby. Inside the restaurant, theme songs of different World Cup Games and other football-related music are played all the time. The restaurant owner says they're highlighting a detailed schedule of the Top 16 elimination games so guests can plan their visit and assemble a party to coincide with watching the screening of the game of their choice. The Monogatari of Sea is open almost around the clock from 10am to 5am each day. A 46-inch LCD television will give guests a clear view of the game and special favorite drinks and snacks will also enhance your watching experience. In addition, outside the restaurant there's a plaza, where you can dance to the rhythm of rock music and get fully into the spirit of things when your favorite team scores or wins.
