"Another entry in the Brooklyn “very serious soccer” family, Banter goes so far as to incorporate the ball in the bar’s logo. Banter is going full throttle for the tournament, with drink specials keyed to the country of each game. There are nightly replays of the early morning games at 8 p.m., with after-hour games aired on an RSVP basis, so call to express interest. The American Outlaws Brooklyn chapter is parking it at this, their home base, throughout the tournament, running giveaways for all U.S. games. On the weekend? DJ nights built into the matches. While you can get some choice panini here, the UN of sausages are the star attraction. And Johnnie Walker Black Label on the bar for all of it. (Red, too, if you’re a traditionalist.)" - Brendan McGinley
