Where to watch the football
🏴 England Pub
An English-style pub whose owner is a big Manchester United fan – the obvious place for Premier League games.
🍀 Patrick’s Irish Pub
Ljubljana’s original Irish pub, open since 1995: a basement bar off Trubarjeva street with big screens for football and rugby.
🎤 Holidays’ Pub
The oldest bar in town, on Slovenska cesta next to Hotel Slon – sport on TV, karaoke on Wednesdays and DJs at the weekend.
Match day tips
⏰ Kick-off times
Ljubljana is one hour ahead of the UK and Ireland – a 15:00 kick-off at home starts at 16:00 here.
🪑 Big games
For derbies and cup finals the pubs fill up – arrive early if you want to sit together.
🍻 After the match
Carry on with a pub crawl through the Old Town – the bars are a short walk away.
🔇 On the way back
Singing in the street after 22:00 can mean a €200–400 fine for night-time noise.
💳 Paying
Most bars take cards, but a little cash helps in the smaller places.
