Located on Bay View's northern edge, the Highbury
Pub offers Milwaukee
a raucous and fan-involved soccer experience. Singing to support the team is
not only welcomed, but encouraged. Even if you don't know your Wigan Athletic
from your Bayer Leverkusen, the regulars welcome anyone willing to enjoy what
everyone outside the United
States knows as football. The place opens at
dawn on Saturday to offer a full plate of English Premiership matches starting
at 6:30 a.m. and going into the early afternoon. There are also Spanish and
Italian league games. A vocal and welcoming contingent of German fans supports
that country's "Bundesliga" and no true devotee of the world's most
beloved sport should miss the chance to mix it up with the other
"nutters." (Dennis Shook)
