The Duke of Gloucester
649 Yonge St.

The pitch: Built in Britain and shipped over piece by piece, the pub is a haven for the city`s soccer-obsessed, particularly during the World Cup. Indeed, manager Mihir Shah expects such a large turnout during England`s games that he is selling tickets in advance ($10). "When England played Nigeria [in the last World Cup], we had 139 English fans and three Nigerian fans," he says, laughing. "But everyone got along really well." The pub will open every day at 7 a.m. during the tournament, and for $20, those inclined to make a wager can enter a football pool, though Mr. Shah is quick to clarify that one of the pub`s regulars is running it independently.
The grub: Let`s talk about beer first, because in these circumstances, everything else is secondary. Pub will augment its regular offering of English brew on tap with beer from every country in the world group.

The pitch: In a little more than a year it has established itself as one of the city`s premier venues to watch international soccer. "We had 100 people packed in here during the Champions League," says owner Jamieson Kerr, whose resto will be open every day at 7 a.m. and aims to air every game.
The grub: Menu offers breakfast fare such as confit of rabbit and foie gras butter and even more elaborate entrees such as venison cobbler with sage and cheddar scones.
