After numerous calls, emails, and texts, we finally decided to post something about the World Cup viewing situation at HamCro.

Our regular opening hours for the outdoor pavilion are weekdays at 4:00 p.m.

If there is a Canada game that happens prior to this time we will open 1 hour prior to kickoff.

For example, Canada and BiH play today at 3:00 p.m. we open at 2:00 p.m.

On these days we will feature a full kitchen menu.

On days that Croatia plays prior to our regular opening hours, we will open three hours before kickoff.

So next Wednesday, June 17th, Croatia and England play at 4:00 p.m. We will be open at 1:00 p.m.

For Croatia games we will have a limited kitchen menu featuring ćevapi, svinjske šnicle (sendviči), and kranjske kobasice, along with available sides.

Those games will be shown in four different viewing areas - The Croatia Club Restaurant, the Main Banquet Hall, the outdoor pavilion, and the bocce bar patio.

From the old Club on Kenilworth to our current home, since the dawn of satellites, Hamilton Croatia has been showing every Croatia game. All the time. Forever.

Might be a watch party for you. For us, Croatia's playing. It's on at The Club.

A quick reminder that “GMR” is an acronym for the road our facility is located on — it is not the name of our organization.
