Sports viewing in Richmond, California, is spread across separate districts rather than one bar strip. Point Richmond has a small-scale commercial centre near the bay and I-580; the historic shipyards to the north house East Brother’s brewery. That geography offers two different plans: rugby-rooted Up & Under Pub in Point Richmond and East Brother’s taproom, which has hosted screens and watch parties on announced dates. BART and rail reach central Richmond; check separate connections for the final leg to Point Richmond or Canal Boulevard.
Up & Under grew around a specific sporting identity: rugby. Jerseys, memorabilia, televisions and references to matches make it a pub for people who enjoy the conversation as much as the game. The menu covers burgers and sandwiches, fish and chips, chowder and starters; the oversized Scrum Burger is part of its local lore. Reviews highlight generous portions, a patio and live music. The domain historically associated with the business now redirects to an unrelated page, so we do not link it as an official source.
East Brother has a different rhythm. It is a production brewery and taproom where visitors can see part of the brewing operation, sit indoors or outside and check which food truck is scheduled. In 2019, local reporting described a 55-inch screen and projector for the Super Bowl; the brewery also announced watch parties during the 2026 World Cup. This documents event-specific sports viewing, not a guarantee of a permanent screen: check its current calendar before travelling. The drinks list centres on pilsners, lagers, IPA, blonde ale and stout brewed on site.
The choice depends on the kind of game night you want. For a pub where sport is part of the decor and routine, Up & Under is in the heart of Point Richmond; for local beer and an announced watch party, East Brother sets the scene in an industrial waterfront. Both have location-specific contact and review records; East Brother also publishes taproom hours and pint prices. Confirm the broadcast, sound, food availability and closing time before leaving: screens may be event-specific and food-truck schedules can change.
