Champions League Nights in Side — Big Screen Football

Yes — you can watch the Champions League on the big screen at Hawaii Restaurant & Karaoke Bar in Side old town. We show live UCL matches most Tuesday and Wednesday nights, pair them with our wood-fire grill, and offer Happy Hour from 19:00–20:00 before kick-off.

Champions League nights in Side, on the big screen

When the European midweek football rolls round, Side old town has one address that turns Tuesday and Wednesday evenings into proper match nights. At Hawaii Restaurant & Karaoke Bar — on 512. Sk. in the heart of the old town since 2000 — the Champions League goes up on our live-sport big screens, with the sound on and a room full of fans who came for the same reason you did.

UCL nights have their own energy, quite different from the weekend rhythm. If you're after Saturday and Sunday top-flight football, that's our Premier League in Side corner. But midweek is when Europe's biggest clubs meet, and that's what we build our Tuesday and Wednesday evenings around here.

Why midweek European football hits differently

A UCL night isn't a lazy afternoon game on in the background. Kick-offs land in the evening, the stakes feel bigger, and the room fills with people from all over — holidaymakers from Kumköy, Evrenseki, Çolaklı, Sorgun, Titreyengöl, Gündoğdu, Ilıca and Manavgat who've come into Side for the occasion. You get that shared, electric atmosphere where every chance draws a collective breath.

Because it's a two-legged, high-drama competition, these are the nights worth planning around. Arrive a little early, settle in with a good view of the screen, and let the evening build. For everything we screen across the week — including football, Formula 1 and hockey — see our full live sport in Side guide.

Dinner and the match, in one evening

The best way to do a Champions League night is to make an evening of it. Come in hungry, order from our wood-fire and charcoal grill, and let the food arrive before kick-off so you're not distracted once the whistle blows. Our meat and chicken are halal (halal slaughter), which many of our guests appreciate; we're a family-friendly restaurant that also runs as a bar, so alcohol is served alongside a menu of 30+ cocktails. Pork is available only on request, prepared separately with its own dedicated equipment.

Browse everything on the full menu and plan your order before you arrive. For a closer look at how an evening here flows — grill, drinks and atmosphere — read about our dine-in experience in Side.

Happy Hour before kick-off

Time your arrival well and you can catch Happy Hour from 19:00 to 20:00 — the ideal warm-up window before an evening UCL fixture. Get your first round in, sort out the food, and you're set for the match. More on the timing and how to make the most of it in our Happy Hour in Side guide.

Reserve your table before kick-off

Champions League nights are among our busiest, so the single best tip we can give you is to book ahead. Reserving guarantees you a table with a clear line to the screen instead of hoping something frees up at 20:45. You can reserve online in a minute, or read our step-by-step online reservation guide if you'd like to see how it works first. Prefer to message us? WhatsApp +90 533 930 12 83 and we'll sort your table for the match.

Getting to Hawaii for the match

We're right in Side old town and open daily from 10:00 to 02:00, so late kick-offs and extra time are never a problem. Staying outside the centre? We offer free hotel pickup from selected hotels, plus an affordable two-way transfer from across the coast — Kumköy, Evrenseki, Çolaklı, Sorgun, Titreyengöl, Gündoğdu, Ilıca and Manavgat. Message us on WhatsApp when you book your table and we'll arrange the details so you can relax and enjoy the football.

And if the match sparks a bit of celebration, the karaoke is right there when the final whistle goes — a full night out, all under one roof.
