Listen, we love our couches, but there’s something about watching big games at your favorite bar (especially during these warm summer months). If you’re looking for a spot to catch the biggest event of the summer in New Jersey — ahem, the World Cup — 8th Street Tavern in Hoboken has it going on. Located at 800 Washington Street, this Mile Square staple is turning match days into full-on watch parties with themed food, drinks, and more. Read on to learn about 8th Street Tavern and its World Cup Watch Parties in Hoboken this June + July 2026.
About 8th Street Tavern
8th Street Tavern has been a Hoboken sports bar staple since its re-opening in 2022. Don’t believe us? Walk by on a Friday or Saturday night (IYKYK). Since becoming a neighborhood hangout, 8th Street Tavern has built out a lively calendar of events, including trivia on Tuesdays, live music on Wednesdays and most Fridays, karaoke on Sundays, themed nights (our favorite so far? Sopranos night), seasonal activities, and monthly local fundraising events.
8th Street Tavern is also famous for its happy hour, which features $2 off 32oz big beers and spritzes, $2 off well-mixed drinks, wines, and picklebacks, $5 off buckets, and more. (For more info on that, check its website here!)
World Cup Watch Parties + Festivities
For the World Cup, 8th Street Tavern is hosting watch parties during June and July. Expect a TV wall (with sound for USA games + the World Cup final), a global selection of beers, and perhaps our favorite detail, “Wieners of the World,” a World Cup-inspired hot dog menu with specialty dogs representing different nations.
8th Street Tavern also serves cocktails and craft beer, so there’s an option for drinkers of all tastes. Combined with the bar’s great pub grub, it’s a pretty perfect atmosphere for watching the big game. It’s no surprise to us that 8th Street Tavern was voted for “Best Bar” by HG readers three years in a row.
