Your Guide to the World Cup Watch Parties on Treasure Island

The World Cup has landed on Treasure Island, where Gold Bar Whiskey Distillery & Tasting Room is screening live matches on a massive outdoor screen overlooking the San Francisco Bay across two weekends this June. 

The watch parties take place on June 19-20 and June 25-27 as part of Gold Bar’s six-week Celebration of Nations series, with live DJ sets, giveaways, and a full bar throughout. Tickets start at $11 and include one drink. 

The San Francisco Chronicle named Treasure Island’s watch parties among the best places in the Bay Area to catch the tournament, and the SF Examiner pointed to the same waterfront setting as a reason to make the trip out. 

Here’s the full match schedule, and how to plan your visit.

STEP INSIDE GOLD BAR’S ART DECO TERMINAL 

Gold Bar Whiskey Distillery & Tasting Room is housed in Treasure Island’s restored 1930s Art Deco terminal building. Step inside between matches to see the original architecture up close, or take a lap around the building’s waterfront side for a different angle of the Bay Bridge. If you’re coming by ferry, plan your trip around the match schedule rather than a single kickoff, so there’s time to explore the building and still catch every game on your list. 

 

WHERE TO EAT BETWEEN MATCHES ON TREASURE ISLAND 

With matches spaced throughout the afternoon and evening, it’s easy to fit in a stop or two on the Island between kickoffs. Grab breakfast or lunch on the patio at Aracely Café ,or settle in at Mersea Restaurant & Bar for waterfront dining and live music on weekend afternoons. Both are a short walk from Gold Bar, close enough to grab a bite and still be back in time for the next match. 

 

HOW TO GET TO TREASURE ISLAND FOR THE WORLD CUP WATCH PARTIES 

Ferries depart from the San Francisco Ferry Building and arrive on Treasure Island in eight minutes, docking just a short walk to Gold Bar Whiskey Distillery & Tasting Room. Free parking is available on-site during select watch party dates, with bus access via Muni Line 25 and bike access via the Bay Bridge bicycle path from the East Bay.
