With the UEFA Euro 2024 about to kick off in Germany, many football fans are seeking the best spots in the UK to enjoy the matches. While nothing compares to the atmosphere of a stadium, beer gardens provide a fantastic alternative with their lively ambiance and scenic surroundings. Design My Night has shared some of the top beer gardens across the UK to watch the games, featuring local drinks and spectacular views.

The Old Mill, New Forest, York

Topping the list is The Old Mill, located in the serene New Forest area of York. Situated on the bank of the River Avon, The Old Mill’s beer garden offers a tranquil spot to relax and watch the games. With its picturesque setting, it’s an ideal place to soak up the sun while enjoying a refreshing drink. Even if the weather turns, the beer garden is equipped with covered and heated areas, as well as a stretch tent featuring a large screen to ensure fans don’t miss any action.

The Brandling Arms, Gosforth, Newcastle

Another highly recommended beer garden is The Brandling Arms in Gosforth, Newcastle. Established in the 1920s, this historic pub offers a spacious garden perfect for football fans. Located near the city center, The Brandling Arms provides a welcoming atmosphere where visitors can enjoy a pint or a traditional roast. The west-facing garden is particularly inviting in the evenings, offering spectacular sunset views before pub quizzes and comedy nights commence.

The Bridge, Chertsey, Surrey

For those in Surrey, The Bridge in Chertsey is a fantastic option to watch the Euros. Although not the largest beer garden, its location on the bank of the River Thames makes it an ideal spot to enjoy the natural scenery, including wildlife and passing boats. Known for its wide range of drinks, The Bridge also offers delicious burgers and plant-based dishes, making it a great place to catch the football with a tasty meal.

These beer gardens not only offer great views and a lively atmosphere but also serve an array of local drinks, ensuring a memorable experience while watching the Euros. Whether you’re in York, Newcastle, or Surrey, these spots provide the perfect setting to enjoy the football tournament with friends and family.
