Celebration of Nations: Six Weeks of Soccer, Sunsets & Cocktails on Treasure Island
The global game has arrived in the Bay Area ⚽ and we’re celebrating Celebration of Nations with six weeks of unforgettable waterfront events inspired by the world’s game.
From June 6 through July 17, Gold Bar Distillery on Treasure Island becomes the place to be: waterfront watch parties under the open sky, sunset concerts with international DJs, hands-on cocktail classes in San Francisco built around three brand-new soccer-inspired drinks, and custom-engraved bottles to take the moment home.
One island. One incredible summer. Four ways in. 👇
Waterfront Watch Parties
⚽ June 19–20 + June 25–27
Match day the way it was meant to be. The summer’s biggest matchups on a massive outdoor screen, the San Francisco skyline behind it, and the Bay breeze in front of you, with live entertainment, food trucks, craft cocktails, and giveaways all day long.
No crowded bar. No squinting across the room. Just the whole world's game, played out over the water.
Matchups include USA vs. Australia, Germany vs. Ivory Coast, Japan vs. Sweden, Türkiye vs. USA, Uruguay vs. Spain, Colombia vs. Portugal, Jordan vs. Argentina, and more across both weekends.
Sunset Concerts
🎤 June 6, 7, 13 + July 3
Four international DJs. One of the most unique outdoor venues in the country. Sunsets over the water with the city glowing in the distance.

Soccer-Themed Cocktail Classes
🥃 July 1 – 12
The experience people will be talking about long after the final whistle.
Step inside a working distillery and learn to craft three brand-new cocktails:
-
The Matcha Sideline Sour — bright, sharp, a little unexpected
-
The Victory Flair — celebratory by design
-
The Golden Goal — the one you'll be making at home all summer
Hands-on, led by our team, with guided tastings of our award-winning Napa wine cask-finished whiskey. Small groups, about 90 minutes, and a genuinely great time whether you're a novice or a home-bar pro.
Heads up: spots are limited and the knockout-round dates go fast. Pair a class with a watch party the same day for the ultimate Treasure Island afternoon.

Custom Bottle Engravings
🏆 June 19–20 + June 25–27
Bring home more than a memory. During any watch party weekend, buy any 750ml bottle of Gold Bar Whiskey and get a free custom engraving plus a limited-edition soccer ball gift bag.
Make it a keepsake. Make it a gift. Make it the bottle you crack open for the final.
Why Treasure Island
Right in the middle of the San Francisco Bay, Gold Bar offers more than just events. Visitors can grab a drink or a bite in the Art Deco–inspired distillery and tasting room before the festivities begin, then take in skyline and waterfront views unlike anywhere else in the city. Treasure Island is easy to reach by ferry, rideshare, car (with free on-site parking at select events), or public transit.
Curated food trucks, craft cocktails, ready-to-drink options, premium beer, and non-alcoholic choices all summer. Beverage partners include NÜTRL, Stella Artois, Michelob ULTRA, Gold Bar Whiskey, Pacific House Gin, and Luv Watr.
