Downtown bar launches World Cup Clubhouse for watch parties and events

More is more when it comes to places to watch the World Cup in Miami.

  • There's the Fan Fest, the countless bars and restaurants, the music venue-turned-watch party and now the Lost Boy Clubhouse.
  • State of play: The downtown watering hole kicked off its immersive experience on Saturday with a massive watch party for the Colombia versus Portugal match.

  • It features giant LED screens, a soccer pitch for pick-up games, fan activations and live entertainment.
  • How it works: The Clubhouse will stream every match for the duration of the tournament, with doors opening two hours before kickoff.

  • Seating is first come, first served.
  • The big picture: The experience — specifically the 150-foot community mini soccer pitch — is part of a partnership between the Downtown Development Authority of the City of Miami and Airbnb.

  • The $400,000 investment from Airbnb will bring a total of four soccer pitches for the tournament, the first of which opened at Lost Boy, per a news release.
  • Three others will open later this summer, and all will open for community use.
