No matter which team you may support, join fellow footies for a pint and watch the beautiful game on the big screen. Here are some of our favourite bars to watch this season’s matches.

SOULed OUT
From the humble beginnings of a small neighbourhood café founded in 1996, SOULed OUT has grown into a gathering place for all manner of events, including football matches. The outlets in Desa Sri Hartamas, Bangsar South and Ampang will be showing the EPL matches on the big screen.

SOULed OUT is launching a fan club season pass in conjunction with the EPL this month. Priced at RM100, the season pass comes with a welcome kit, which includes a welcome letter, membership card, an exclusive invitation for the viewing party of the finals and other merchandise. Customers who purchase a pass within the first five EPL matches stand a chance to win a free drink when their team wins a match, while the supporters whose team tops the league can participate in a lucky draw. Season pass holders can also redeem five pints of beer and a 10% discount on their food bill on match night.
