There is no doubt Scotland is home to some wonderful pubs and bars for soaking up the drama of the World Cup.
Here, we round up some of the best places across the country to catch every goal, save and celebration...
Belushi's is pitch perfect for World Cup fans
For the first time since 1998, Scotland have qualified for a World Cup. Belushi's Edinburgh, part of a brand delivering the tournament across fourteen venues in Europe for the eighth time, is braced for the most anticipated match day crowd in its history.
Tucked near the Grassmarket and a short walk from Waverley Station, the venue has the setup to match the occasion. Massive projector, screens covering every angle, booths for groups. What it also has is a regular crowd of passionate local football fans who have been waiting 28 years for a summer like this one. That energy is not something a bar can manufacture.
Games kick off late across Europe all tournament. Prime time every night, which plays directly into what Belushi's does best. When the football ends, live music and DJs carry the room. The nights here have never needed much encouragement to run long, and this summer certainly won't be any different.
Table packages are £10 per person, covering a reserved seat with a view of the game and a £10 bar tab to spend on food and drinks. Every fixture being shown is on the website. It's recommended to secure your seat early.
