Where to watch the World Cup in San Antonio

Zoom in: The Rock at La Cantera and Pearl are home to major watch parties.

• Find watch party schedules for Pearl's Sternewirth, Stable Hall, Otto's Ice House and Boiler House online.

State of play: San Antonio has a strong sports-bar scene. Pick a neighborhood bar that's been showing Spurs playoffs games and it's likely to show World Cup matches, too.
