Pineapple Express Barbecue

Pineapple Express BBQ is a Montclair spot that brings an unexpected (and very welcome) twist to matchday — soccer on the screens, BBQ on the table, and a laid-back crowd that turns big games into a neighborhood hang. Located right in Lackawanna Plaza, it’s an easy meet-up for locals who want to watch the match without the “sports bar” vibe, but still want the energy of a shared game-day experience. Alongside a full slate of American sports, Pineapple Express is a great option for soccer fans following major competitions like the English Premier League and UEFA Champions League, plus international fixtures and tournament matchdays. It also works well for U.S. audiences tracking Europe: when high-stakes “European nights” land in New Jersey as morning kickoffs, this is the kind of place where you can start early, grab a plate, and still feel like you’re watching with a crowd that cares. Supporters groups and fan clubs can comfortably make this their home base for watch parties, whether it’s a derby morning, a title-race weekend, or a knockout-round showdown. With great food, a friendly local vibe, and dependable soccer coverage, Pineapple Express BBQ is a uniquely Montclair way to do matchday.
