So, you’ve been at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, screaming yourself hoarse as the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns battle it out on London soil. The chants are fading, the adrenaline’s still pumping, and you’re not quite ready to swap touchdowns for the Tube home. Don’t worry—we’ve scouted the capital to bring you the best spots to keep the NFL party alive after the final whistle. From Scandinavian cocktails to arcade chaos, here’s your playbook for post-game glory.
Nordic Bar – Channel Your Inner Viking
📍 25 Newman St, W1T 1PN
If you’ve just cheered on the Vikings, where better to celebrate (or drown your sorrows) than a Scandinavian-themed bar? Nordic Bar is part sports bar, part late-night party cave, and it’s got happy hour deals so good Thor himself would hammer down for them. We’re talking two cocktails for £15, draught pints for a fiver, and Prosecco bottles for just £20.
Whether you’re re-enacting your own longboat voyage or just moaning about your fantasy football team’s performance, this Fitzrovia spot is equal parts intimate and rowdy. And honestly, who doesn’t want to say they watched the NFL in a Viking bar after the Vikings game?
King Sports Bar – NFL Heaven in Leicester Square
📍 5-6 Leicester Square, WC2H 7NA
The clue’s in the name. King Sports Bar inside the Empire Casino is open 24 hours—yes, really—so if your post-game mood involves wings at midnight or watching highlights until sunrise, this is your kingdom.
With wall-to-wall TVs, you won’t miss a replay, and the late-night menu means no one has to suffer the tragedy of drinking on an empty stomach. Book ahead if you want a guaranteed table, but otherwise just roll in and let the glow of the big screens guide you. Think of it as Vegas meets London, but with less Elvis impersonators and more NFL jerseys.
Sports Bar & Grill, Marylebone – NFL Meets London Tradition
📍 Melcombe Pl, NW1 6JJ
This is one of London’s OG sports bars and conveniently just across from the Landmark Hotel—fun fact: that’s where NFL officials and cheerleaders often stay. (Yes, you might bump into someone whose face has actually been on the sideline.)
With tons of TVs, outdoor space for the brave, and plenty of room for big groups, Sports Bar & Grill is a safe bet if you’re looking for reliable NFL coverage and pub vibes without the fluff. It’s got that classic “meet your mates and shout at screens” energy.
Philomena’s Irish Sports Bar – Craic and Kickoffs
📍 40 Great Queen St, WC2B 5AD
You can’t talk about post-game pubs without mentioning a good Irish bar, and Philomena’s delivers on every front: ten screens, hearty food served until 9:45pm, and enough Guinness to fill Wembley.
It’s one of those places where you’ll find fans of every sport, from NFL diehards to someone nervously watching darts. Order a plate of their home-cooked grub, settle in with a pint, and you’ll quickly see why this place has a “once you come, you’ll never leave” kind of reputation. (Just don’t actually stay forever—they will eventually turn the lights off.)
SOUND Sports Bar – For the Big Groups and Big Moments
📍 The Cumberland Hotel, W1H 7DL
Right off Oxford Street, SOUND Sports Bar is like the NFL RedZone of pubs: non-stop action, big screens everywhere, and enough buzz to rival a two-minute drill. They’ve got pizzas, hearty bar bites, signature cocktails, and ice-cold beers on tap, all flowing until late.
It’s especially perfect if you’re with a big group—no fighting over stool space or squinting at a tiny TV. Whether you’re celebrating a Browns upset or a Vikings win, this is the kind of place where the night snowballs into something memorable.
Blood Sports by MEATliquor – Where Things Get Wild
📍 27-29 Endell St, WC2H 9BA
Want to turn your post-game into an after-game? Head to Blood Sports, where the NFL isn’t just shown, it’s celebrated with chaos. With over 30 screens, karaoke booths, arcade machines, pinball, and pool tables, it’s basically the Las Vegas of Covent Garden—without the jet lag.
Food is courtesy of MEATliquor, so expect burgers that require both hands and cocktails that don’t mess around. They’re open until 2am (kitchen until 1:30am), which makes this the spot for fans who simply refuse to call it a night. Think of it as the Hail Mary option for when you’re not ready to go home.
Final Whistle
Whether you’re a Vikings fan looking to drink like a Norse warrior, a Browns fan needing some comfort food, or just a neutral who loves beer, wings, and big screens, London’s got you covered. From Fitzrovia to Covent Garden, these spots will keep the NFL spirit alive long after the game ends.
So don’t waste that post-game buzz on the Tube. Grab your mates, pick your bar, and keep the NFL party rolling—because in London, football Sunday doesn’t have to end when the final whistle blows.
We will also be hosting an after party Sunday October 12th at the Nordic Bar for all of you Jets and Broncos fans!
