KERB Sports Bar Pops Up at Old Spitalfields Market for World Cup Watch Parties & Summer of Sport
London is getting a new live-sports pop-up in time for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as KERB Sports Bar lands at Old Spitalfields Market from today for a limited-time run ahead of an epic summer of sport. Taking over the space at KERB Social Club, KERB Sports Bar will be able to host up to 600 guests, with a revamped open-air terrace and big screens across every corner of the venue to celebrate football fever alongside great food and drink.
The KERB Sports Bar pop-up will be dedicated to screening a packed schedule of World Cup games, including late kick-offs, alongside the Premier League and Champions League run-ins, the new Formula 1 season, and Wimbledon. Whether it is cheering on England or taking in a hairpin turn, KERB Sports Bar is the place to bring a group, settle in, and stay for the full run of play.
The Terrace
A revamped open-air terrace sits at the heart of the KERB Sports Bar pop-up, with space for up to 150 guests. Built for summer viewing, the terrace combines big screens with full cover, making it a reliable option for watching World Cup matches outside, come rain or shine. It brings a festival-style feel to major fixtures, with standing and seated areas designed for both big-group bookings and walk-ins.
The Clubhouse
Inside, the Clubhouse is the main bar and viewing space, seating up to 160 guests. A retro-inspired Americana design meets a high-energy matchday set-up with table, counter, and booth seating. The room is built around eight large screens positioned throughout, ensuring clear sightlines from every angle to catch the live sporting action.
World Cup Bookings & England Season Ticket Bundle
2026 FIFA World Cup games will be shown live with free entry to the venue (excluding England’s fixtures). With late kick-offs during this World Cup, extended hours will run through the summer so guests can stay for the full matchday experience with options for group bookings and private watch parties throughout the tournament. Tickets for England games start from £12 and include a welcome drink, with options including KERB Lager, house wine or selected soft drinks. An England Season Ticket Bundle will also be available, covering all three group stage matches at a discounted rate.
Private Rooms and World Cup Watch Parties
KERB Sports Bar is built with group bookings in mind, offering a series of private rooms for watch parties, celebrations and full takeovers with capacities up to 50 guests. Each space includes large screens, full sound, beer taps and games consoles, with larger rooms also featuring pool tables and karaoke. With World Cup kick-offs running late into the night, these rooms provide space to gather early, build anticipation and stay through the game with your crew. Full venue takeovers are also available, with a combination of spaces accommodating up to a total of 600 guests.
Food & Drink
The summer takeover introduces Happy Face Pizza as a new food residency on the terrace from 20th May, serving classic Neapolitan pizzas with timeless toppings. They join existing trader Only Jerkin’, known for bold Caribbean flavours and some of the best dressed chicken in London. Expect wings, tenders and whole chargrilled chicken served with sides, such as cornbread with hot honey butter and coconut rice. Wing Wednesday runs at 20 wings for £20.
Behind the bar, expect a full line-up of draught beers, including KERB’s own lager, Camden Pale and Guinness, all available as pints and beer towers made for sharing. Signature cocktails serves include the KSC Lagerita (a frozen margarita topped up with lager), with classics such as Spicy Passionfruit Margaritas, Hugo Spritz and Espresso Martinis available throughout.
