⚽️📺 Forget watching the World Cup on your cousin's tiny TV with the volume at 7.

Come yell at the ref, celebrate screamers, and pretend you knew that offside call all along at El Bait Shop! 🍻

We've got the games on, cold beers flowing, and plenty of room for your lucky jersey (even if it hasn't been lucky yet).

Grab your crew, claim a seat, and let's make every match feel like the final. Come support the beer sponsor and grab a cold Michelob Ultra on tap!!

🌍⚽ World Cup + Beer = The perfect game plan.

Take a behind-the-scenes look at how we make one of our summer favorites, our Southwest Salad! 🥗

We start with crisp, fresh lettuce and top it with grilled buffalo chicken, pepper jack cheese, pico de gallo, sweet corn, black beans, crunchy tortilla strips, and finish it off with our creamy chipotle ranch.

Fresh, flavorful, and perfect for a summer day. Stop by and give it a try!

It's Saturday. You know what to do. 🍻

Stopping by before the Cubs game? Perfect.
Coming in after the Cubs game? Even better.
Doing both? We won't tell. 😉

Fresh from the Farmers' Market? Swing on over.

We've got tons and we mean TONS of beer options. So many that you might start questioning your decision-making skills. (It's a good problem to have.) What beer doesn't pair well with Tex-Mex and Pub Style food?!

No matter what your Saturday plans look like, we've got a cold beer waiting for you. See you soon! 🍺
