This is probably way too early, but I'm posting this for a friend who wants to organize world cup viewing parties at a bar/restaurant that will be showing the world cup on 3D TVs-- any suggestions? Thanks.

No, but when you find out, tell the rest of us!

Tweaked, where are you?

Really? World Cup in 3D? Didn't know this was in the works.

Call ESPN Zone. I would not eat there, but I might drink there.

Here is some info on ESPN's plan.

I don't know any specific bars that are planning on installing the (pretty expensive) 3D TV's...however, since ESPN really seems to be pushing this, I agree with dcs in that ESPN Zone would be a logical place to be piloting this technology.

Hmm. I can see wearing the glasses in a theater. I can see wearing them at home. But in a bar?

Thanks for this - a friend and I are hoping to be able to find places where we can drink beer brewed in the countries who will be playing WC matches we are watching. This list will help us sort that out.

I just walked by the little park on Columbia Rd. near 18th where they set up stands for immigrants from Latin, South and Central America to sell their food Friday-Sunday. Someone was setting up elaborate television systems to show the world cup. They even had set up a satellite dish just for the event. I don't attest to the food (anymore) but if you are in the neighborhood and want to watch the action in a (relatively) unique environment I thought I'd share...

They've set up big TVs in Dupont Circle, but that is, obviously, neither a bar nor a restaurant.
