Euro 2012 kicks off this week as nations Poland and the Ukraine get set to host the top 16 European soccer nations in the 2012 UEFA Euro Cup. Many matches will be on early and bars will open to accomdate the Vancouver football (soccer) fans. It would have been nice to see some large screens set up downtown like they did for the World Cup. However, as of press time this is not happening. Here are a list of places showing the games in Metro Vancouver with a special mention of Commercial Drive locations.
All these establishments will be showing the matches live. Majority of them will also be serving alcohol.
