Cup Final - Pub in Clearwater?

[~Piglet~]

I thought I would be in Orlando (and the cricketers arms) for the champions league final, but I will be in Clearwater.

Does anyone know of anywhere that might be showing the match? We are staying at the Hilton Clearwater Beach, so if there is anywhere nearby please let me know

Come on the red men

Are you travelling with Virgin? They use an "English pub" in Clearwater for their welcome meet. It's run by ex-Brits; we went there years ago for our welcome meet and had a 'proper' English breakfast (shame really cos I really love the full blown American brekkies .

It's in the main part of Clearwater - I've been racking my brains but just can't think what it's called

I'm sure someone will come along who will remember.

There was a Brit pub across the road from where we stayed - Holiday Inn Sunspree in Clearwater. Down the bottom end, away from Pier 60 and close to the bridge crossing over to St Petes/Treasure Island etc.
It's about a 10/15 minute walk down from the Hilton.
There are a few shops, with an internet cafe and pub around the back.
Can't remember what it was called but it had Sky Sports if I remember rightly
Hope this helps

Yes! I know the pub too - but didn't go there. Will try and find the name for you!

I think it is the Big Ben Pub!

That's the one
Didn't go in but visited the Internet cafe which does lovely coffee

Thanks Karen - I couldn't sleep last night because I couldn't remember the name

I got out one of my old Virgin Welcome booklets this morning (nothing better than a quick rummage in the loft at 6 am ) from first time we went as a family back in 1998 and there it was in it

The Big Ben - easy to remember!

Thanks to everyone

I was there last week and the semi finals were shown on ESPN2, a cable channel that is on most televisions free of charge....Well it was on the Howard Johnson Plaza on international drive.
