UEFA Semi final June 5

Does anyone know where to watch? I'm struggling to find a soccer bar that opens at noon. TIA!

Nice — lots of soccer fans in Tucson but opening hours vary by place and by event, so the safest approach is to pick a few likely venues that open at or before noon and call ahead the week of the match to confirm they’ll be showing the game and whether they’ll open early for a big European fixture.

Places that are known to show soccer and that typically open at or before noon (good candidates):

  • Putney’s Pitstop Sports Bar & Grill — long-running sports bar with lots of TVs; listed hours show it opens around 10:00 AM on many days, so it’s a dependable option for a noon kickoff. .
  • Trident Grill (multiple locations) — a local chain of sports-friendly restaurants; most locations list an 11:00 AM weekday opening (some Sunday locations open earlier), so they’re likely to be open and able to put the match on at noon. .
  • The Neighborhood Bar (locations) — two Tucson locations, both sports-bar style and typically open by 11:00 AM on weekdays — good for a relaxed viewing atmosphere. Call to confirm which location will show the UEFA match. .
  • Barrio Brewing — a popular local brewery/pub that often screens major sporting events and has several TVs; check with them about opening time and whether they’ll show the match. .
  • Hops Sports Grill / other full-time sports bars — places like Hops (and other neighborhood sports bars) can and often will show big matches; many open mid-morning or at least by 11–12. Call ahead for game plans. .

Places to try but verify because hours vary / they sometimes open early for big tournaments:

  • Playground Bar & Lounge — in prior international tournaments they’ve opened very early for big games, but their regular hours are variable; this one is worth calling since they’ve been known to open early for World Cup / Euros. .

Quick practical tips to make the day easy:

  • Call the bar you choose the day before (or morning-of) to confirm they’ll show the UEFA semi-final and whether they plan to open early / reserve space. Many bars will adjust hours for big matches, but you must confirm.
  • Arrive early (30–60 minutes before kickoff) if you want a front-row TV seat — noon kickoffs can get busy with lunch crowds.
  • If you’re flexible, pick two nearby options (e.g., Putney’s and Trident) so you can pivot if one is unexpectedly closed or not showing the game.
  • If you can’t find an early-opening bar, consider a café or pub that will stream the match and has Wi-Fi (or use a paid streaming service and watch at a casual spot).
