If nobody is adverse to craft beer, we could go back to the place in Rochester Park where we went when Mi Amigo was here a while back. It's quiet enough. But it is a bit of a pain to get into and out of short of hoofing it a fair distance. But I'm open to other suggestions as well, due to iffy knees.

That Russian brewery? I second that. Although I can't make it. Have to leave early for a flight that evening. :-(

Count me in for this one. For location, how about trying Joo Chiat/ East Coast Rd. Beer is reasonably priced, have a few places with craft beer, and its easy access.

The problem is, I think every bar will be showing the WC. I was going to suggest TAP at either Robertson Quay or more centrally, Capitol Theatre (next to City Hall MRT.) Great range of beers (around $10 an American "pint" - which isn't of course a pint) and their spam fries are sinfully good. I don't think the TAP in Capitol Theatre has a TV screen so it should be soccer-free.

You are right. Even Beerfest (the one where SMS and Mi Amigo went) might install a giant screen for WC, considering that Mother Russia is hosting and Beerfest is a Russian establishment. It usually doesn't have a telly, only beer and food in the middle of park but this exception might apply.
