Melbourne CBD sports pubs: a city table for the game

A city pub is a handy meeting point when your mates are coming from all over. Springrock, Imperial and The Duke of Wellington have sports screens, with beer prices below to help settle the first round. Ask about your match when booking, especially if several games overlap.

Springrock / listing

From kick-off to the last whistle

Springrock and Imperial have rooftops among their features. Springrock also has food prices below, while The Duke adds outdoor seating. For a longer match, choose a pub that works for dinner as well as the trip home.

An overseas fixture can run well beyond the usual dinner booking. Get the local start time and the pub’s finishing time sorted together. That’s more useful than finding a screen and discovering the bar closes before the game ends.
