The Euro 2004 soccer tournament kicks off this weekend in Portugal. Watching the matches can be tricky because soccer doesn't get the TV coverage in the U.S. that football, baseball or bass fishing get.

- The Abbey Pub - 3420 W. Grace
- Sedgwick's - 1935 N. Sedgwick
- Ginger's Ale House - 3801 N. Ashland
- Fado - 100 W. Grand
- Hidden Shamrock - 2723 N. Halsted
