The World Cup is heating up, and if you're anything like us, you're looking for the perfect spot to catch the action. You don't want a quiet, stuffy room, and you definitely don't want to watch the biggest matches of the year on a tiny screen. You want a real Chicago neighborhood bar with cold drinks, great food, and a crowd that actually cares about the game.
That's exactly what we're serving up here at Tommy's on Higgins in Norwood Park. We're showing every single remaining FIFA World Cup match live, and we want you to come watch them with us. Whether you're a die-hard soccer fan or just looking for an excuse to grab a burger and a beer with friends, we've got a seat waiting for you.
We know there are plenty of places to watch the World Cup in Chicago, but we like to think Tommy's brings something special to the table. We're not a massive corporate sports bar. We're your friendly neighborhood spot right here in Norwood Park.
We have multiple TVs set up throughout the bar, so there's not a bad seat in the house. And if you're here for the biggest matches, you'll want to grab a spot in our back room where we have our massive 80-inch TV ready to go.
You shouldn't have to empty your wallet to enjoy a good match. We've got plenty of cold beer on tap, great cocktails, and drink specials that keep the good times rolling from kickoff to the final whistle.


Watching soccer builds up an appetite. Luckily, our kitchen is always ready to deliver. We're serving up some of the best bar food in Chicago.
Whether you're craving one of our famous burgers, a basket of crispy wings, or a hot pizza to share with the table, we've got you covered.
Fan favorites also include our hearty Reuben sandwiches, perfectly crispy homemade chicken tenders, and loaded quesadillas. It's the perfect comfort food to pair with a cold pint while you cheer on your team.

At the end of the day, what makes a great watch party isn't just the screens or the food—it's the people. Tommy's on Higgins has always been about community. We're proud to be a staple in Norwood Park, and we love seeing our regulars and new faces come together to share the excitement of the World Cup.
