⚽ Local Tips for World Cup 2026

  • Arrive 45–60 minutes before kick-off — Soho Bar & Billiards fills fast on Canada and knockout nights.
  • Ask for a table near the main screen; the bar layout in Chinatown works best from the center rows.
  • SkyTrain + short walk (~10 min to BC Place) beats match-day traffic on Pacific Blvd.
  • Order food before halftime — kitchen pace slows once the second half starts.
  • If the main room is packed, check the side bar; staff often know a quieter angle with sightlines.
