WHY IS IT CALLED JOXER’S?

Joxer’s derives its name from Irish singer Christy Moore’s “Joxer Goes to Stuttgart,” a classic folk song that tells the story of a group of Irish soccer fans traveling to Germany in support of the Republic of Ireland at the 1988 UEFA European Championship. Following suit, Joxer’s captures the excitement and camaraderie of sports fandom, creating a space for spectators to root for their favorite teams over a drink and participate in winter games in an iconic space overlooking the city.

 

CAN I WATCH THE SPORTS GAME BROADCAST I WANT TO WATCH?

TV programming at Joxer’s will include all major league games and events, with the option to change to specific channels in your reserved Cottage, or request a channel within The Bungalows.
