Where to watch the World Cup? The best sports bars in Valencia

At Vortex, if there’s one thing that unites us besides work, it’s sports. Between sweepstakes, debates, and watching matches together, we’ve been discovering some of the best sports bars in Valencia to experience every match as it deserves.

During the World Cup, the atmosphere inside and outside the office becomes especially exciting. Furthermore, the Vortex community is truly international, and many of the participating teams have representatives among our coworkers, which adds an extra layer of excitement and friendly competition to the tournament.

As every great coworking space should, we have our go-to spots. where we’ve spent years sharing World Cups, UEFAs, the Olympic Games, and other major sports events. Because while Valencia has an excellent food and leisure scene, when it comes to football (and sports in general), it’s also about finding a place with great screens to watch.

That’s why we’ve rounded up some of our favorite sports bars in the city. A curated list built on our own experience and the recommendations of the Vortex community.

Football temples in the heart of Valencia, near our Vortex Centro coworking

• Casa Mundo GastroSport (Zona Colón / Eixample): founded in 1953 by the legendary Valencia CF player and top scorer Edmundo Suárez (Ed-MUNDO — hence the name) and his wife (Josefa Navalon), and now run by the founders’ grandchildren, it is a place where you can truly breathe in the history and excitement of football. A football sanctuary in Valencia, and a and a must-visit spot visit for sports lovers. It offers an impeccable combination of high-definition screens and a killer sandwich menu that goes far beyond the classic bar snacks.

• Bar Veni (Gran Vía): an American-style bar with a dedicated screen for each group of tables—ideal for going with a group to have some snacks (or dinner) while following your favorite competition. A sure bet for extending the day with your colleagues after work.

• St. Patrick’s Irish Pub (Gran Vía): an Irish pub known as a meeting point for Valencia’s international community, whether for sporting events, St. Patrick’s Day, language exchanges, or Erasmus meetups, among others.

Enjoy the World Cup together with the Vortex community

At Vortex, we believe that the best professional (and personal) opportunities are born from human connections. Sometimes they begin around a desk. Other times, watching a match with colleagues after work.

In a traditional office, the World Cup is usually a five-minute conversation by the coffee machine. At Vortex, it becomes a shared experience. When you bring together professionals from different countries, cultures, and sectors, every match is another opportunity to get to know each other, build bonds, and strengthen a community that goes far beyond work.
