One thing that has caused us great strife in our time is finding a suitable location to view EPL matches while holding a frosty Guinness at the ungodly hour of 4:45AM.  We would like to be that resource for fellow Americans.  So contact us if you’d like to be featured here, or if the Abbey you go to is not listed here.

Become one of our sponsored Abbeys and we will list you here, link to your website, feature articles about you, and visit you more than you would like us to.  Contact us at theyanks@yankscallitsoccer.com or comment below to inquire about how to be promoted by us.

Our First Abbey, The British & Dominion Social Club, is one of our official match day providers.  This place is where British people in America go to be British.  This is not a sports bar, this is a social club where they show football.  We were lucky enough to stumble upon this treasure, and they are kind enough to let us Yanks in.  Maybe it is because we come at 5 in the morning, dressed in our colors, order beers for breakfast, and yell with the best of them.  We sometimes feel like they are looking at us with pride, like a father who is looking at his son walk for the first time.  The focal point of the Club is the “Pub” where members and their guests meet daily to socialize after work or play. They have a full-service bar serving spirits, wine and a large selection of imported draught beers. Coffee, tea and snacks such as traditional meat pies are also available. They show live English Premier League football from the early hours of Saturday and Sunday mornings when we also serve an English sausage breakfast for $5 prepared by different club member volunteers.

The Olde Ship British Pub & Restaurant is another Saturday morning haunt of ours.  They have two locations – Fullerton and Santa Ana – however we usually stick with Santa Ana.  A very festive crowd shows up on match day and The Yanks have been known to get into a pissing match with unruly club supporters who don’t know how to hold their whiskey at 5:00am.  British owned and operated, they source many products direct from the homeland.  Come here to watch a match amongst expats and American’s alike.
