The Speisekammer knows how to appreciate the World Cup  - regardless of the hour.

The Lincoln-Avenue pub and restaurant lets patrons show up early — like at 7 a.m. — to watch the international soccer matches, which are being televized live from South Africa.  

And show up they are.

Saturday’s 11:30 a.m. match between the United States and Ghana brought at least 250 soccer fans into Speisekammer, which had several TV screens and one large projection screen available to patrons.

And Sunday’s 7 a.m. match between Germany and England was another popular event.

The tournament continues through July 11, so stop by when you can.
