Watch the UEFA Champions League final Saturday at these D-FW pubs

It's one of the most-watched annual sporting events in the world. Think the Super Bowl is a big deal? The UEFA Champions League final drew 380 million viewers from over 200 countries in 2014, whereas the American football equivalent maxed out its all-time highest viewership at 114.44 million in early 2015. Even with a notable drop last year, over 180 million camped out by the closest TV set for the 2015 UEFA final.

In other words: All the cool kids are watching. So are the less-cool kids. Basically, all the kids. 

In a repeat of the 2014 ratings juggernaut, this year's match will be between Spanish teams Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid on May 28, beginning at 1:45 p.m. CST.  You can watch on Fox Sports, ESPN Deportes, online at Fox Sports Go or stream it for free on the BT Sport YouTube channel. But, watching sports and drinking beer is almost always more fun in a group setting.

Or with:

The Londoner

Whether you're closest to Addison, Frisco, Colleyville or Rockwall, all locations will be playing the match. They aren't taking reservations, so bar staff suggests getting there early. It might be a madhouse, in a good way.

Trinity Hall

This beloved Mockingbird Station pub is always a good bet for footie. Match viewings at Trinity Hall are often standing room only, so expect a big crowd. (And, may we suggest, tip your server accordingly.)

Buffalo Wild Wings

This chain has popped up all over North Texas, and each location boasts 30-plus flat screen TVs. If the match isn't on one, just ask and the staff will gladly accommodate. Wherever you stay in North Texas, there's a good chance you'll find an outpost nearby.

Ojos Locos

Kind of like Twin Peaks for a Spanish speaking fan base (it even shares a parent company), this sports cantina serves up cervezas in Dallas and Fort Worth with a heaping helping of TV screens and constant deportes.
