What should I know about the World Cup final?

The World Cup Final is Sunday at 12PM. We have reserved a fully private area at Wonderland Ocean Pub in the Ocean Beach neighborhood of San Diego. The family friendly space has plenty of TVs and plenty of space for our group to spread out - including your kids! Food & drinks are available for purchase. We hope to see you there!
Parking can be found either on the surrounding streets or there are a few free lots located within a short 1-2 block radius. There is a paid lot under Wonderland that is not affiliated with the restaurant. We suggest utilizing Uber/Lyft, especially if you plan to indulge in alcoholic beverages.
Please arrive early, as the bars and restaurants in the area will be very busy as the game begins!
