where to watch euro 2016

Where To Watch EuroCup 2016 Timezones and ambiguous curfews make watching international sporting events a tough undertaking. The time difference for Europe isn't so bad though, 5 hours more or less, which is good news for the EuroCup- starting on 10 June. Here is a list of some places to watch matches. New places will be added as the month goes on. The time difference is around 5-6 hours.
DOWNTOWN  50TH STREET BAR & GRILL 9-13, 50th Street // 01 397 060
All games, all live. Replays will be held throughout the day as well. Contact them if you want something recorded and played at another time.
 UNION BAR & GRILL 42 Strand Rd // 09 310 18272
Along with the new menu comes a new look, that includes flat screen TVs and sports. Union will be playing Euro Cup and ready to cater to football fans for late night hours.
GALLERY BAR AT SHANGRI-LA HOTEL 223 Sule Pagoda Rd // 01 242 828
Happy hour from 6pm-8pm. Open for the games until they end.
FAT OX 50th St, Middle Block // 09 420185033
Open until they close. Fat Ox is an easy bet for Euro Cup
UPTOWN SAVOY HOTEL 129 Dhammazedi Road // 01 526 289
They put on the World Cup in 2014 and will do the same for EuroCup this year. Most matches will be on the TV behind the bar but heavily anticipated matches will be projected. No entry fee, open to the public. The Savoy is a safe bet for a can't-miss match since the bar closes at 1am every night, even during curfews.
SPORTS BAR MYA NEIK NYO This one can be hard to find: Pale Rd, West of Kabar Aye Pagoda and South of Kanbawza Road // 09 731 32161
An outdoor local bar equipped with tiki torches, picnic tables and a large projector for the game. If you feel like a different sports bar experience, this is your place. They play all sporting events as they come on live. No recordings, and nothing before 530pm which is when they open.
TIME OUT AT NOVOTEL 459, Pyay Rd // 01 230 5858
Live games and replays as long as it comes before 5pm, their opening hour.

review
Cafe by Day, Pub by Night Phayre's Gastronomy BY CHARLIE MICHIO TURNE
The Phayre's Gastronomy is well known amongst expats as having several table tops and fast internet. Anyone who works from home has probably spent a few days here. Bringing attention to good internet in Yangon can be counterproductive for those that who do not have wifi at home, but with more cafes opening up Phayre's will have to rely on its menu more and more. The coffee at Phayre's is a standard 'Americano' in Yangon, a perfect start if you plan on churning out emails by the dozens. The 5 or so customers who come before 1pm are usually huddled over a laptop...You may see some tourists with a Bloody Mary in early afternoons, but boozing does not start in earnest until sundown, which is when the place begins to come alive. The beer tap is dusted off, dinner parties start to form and football matches are played when in season. Live acoustic music is often booked as well, a duo with a female vocalist will start around 7pm singing Adele and Nora Jones. The food menu is a long list of European dishes with some asian influence, but not too many, the cuisine being closer to an American/English bistro or sports bar. A liberal mix of cheese and starch are a common thread in the Phayre's kitchen. The Chicken or Beef Paninis (both 4500 Ks) are recommended choices for a lunch. Vegetarians have told MYANMORE about the Phayre's Fish Burger which is apparently a breath of fresh air for foreigners who have had time to browse the non-meat scene for a few years.... The Cheesy Vegetable Pot (6000 Ks) was a chef special during the middle of May, a dish which tastes as it sounds, and possibly comforting for those from western countries. A melted sauce of cheddar and mozzarella over an assortment of lettuce, bell peppers, broccoli and other green vegetables was a relatively light dish that would be perfect for kids if it ever becomes a regular item on the menu. The menu at Phayre's is the same all day around. The atmosphere not so much. A study session should come as early as possible, while a group of friends will feel more at home during the evening. 292 Pansodan Street // 01 246 968
What's new
Chef's Corner Self-described as an ‘Asian Fusion Restaurant, Where East Meets West’. Still figuring their menu, but open for business with several options. They have a few options but it seems like Chefs Corner specializes in galbi, a korean barbecue technique where ingredients are put into a large pot. Call for more information 09 776 229419 2nd floor, Hledan Centre, Pyay Road, Kamaryut Township // 09 776 229419 Hours: 9AM-9PM
Black Hat Wine Bar & Burmese Tapas Black and white checked flooring, victorian mirrors, painted silhouettes of aristocrats with black hats. Black Hat in Sule Plaza, the event space off of Sule Pagoda Road, has a 'Breakfast at Tiffany’s' look with an 80's music playing almost exclusively. They are still filling out spots after their big soft opening celebration last weekend, but come by to see massive murals of Elvis and Marilyn Monroe and chandeliers made of repurposed trumpets. Sule Plaza // 09 970 270079 Hours: 11AM – 12AM
