Silver Branch Brewing Company in Downtown Silver Spring is one of the premier soccer hubs in Montgomery County. If you head there for the World Cup games, you can expect a highly energetic, community-oriented experience.

Key Match Timing & Schedules

Silver Branch has officially locked in watch parties for the USMNT group stage. Because kickoffs span from afternoon to late night, the taproom dynamics will shift depending on the slot:

• USA vs. Paraguay (Friday, June 12 at 9:00 PM)

  • Prime-time Friday night. The taproom will already be transitioning from the post-work happy hour crowd into full game-day mode. Expect a packed house.

• USA vs. Australia (Friday, June 19 at 3:00 PM)

  • Mid-afternoon Friday. Perfect for an extended lunch or ducking out of work early.

• USA vs. Türkiye (Thursday, June 25 at 10:00 PM)

  • Late-night thriller. Silver Branch will be extending its energy past standard weekday wind-down hours to accommodate the full match and post-game reactions.

Seating & Arrival

• First-Come, First-Served: Seating in both the indoor taproom and the outdoor biergarten is entirely open. There are no ticket sales or table reservations.

• The 60-Minute Rule: For the 3:00 PM and 9:00 PM USA matches, the taproom realistically hits capacity fast. To secure a table with a direct view of the main projector screen, plan to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes before kickoff.

What to Expect

• • Main screen: Featured match projected on a large screen in the main taproom, with additional TVs around the space
  • Sound: Stadium-style audio on for major matches with full house sound system
  • Best viewing areas: Inside near the big screen for high energy; outdoor Biergarten for a more relaxed vibe (dog-friendly)
  • Ordering: Bar service plus QR code ordering for faster food/drink pickup during busy moments
  • Food & drink: Game-day pub food (pretzels with beer cheese, wings, nachos, burgers) plus a wide selection of local lagers and IPAs
