Top 8 bars to watch sports
Because sometimes you need to get away from your own TV.
An all-day bar (good for watching events happening in the States since they start at our breakfast time), this easygoing venue by the river serves up some clasic Aussie pub grub.
One of the only bars we know of that sets up a big-screen projector when matches are playing, this super chill Robertson Walk pub has pool tables and plenty of drinks. They even have good one-for-one deals from as early as 4pm, just in case you need to drown your sorrows when your favorite team loses.
This waterfront bistro-bar has the big screen TVs to watch your favorite teams battle it out in various matches. Accompany those late nights with good ol' pub grub, beers, housepours, wines and cocktails.
The no-frills alley bar serves up a good selection of imported Japanese craft beer from Baird Brewing alongside familiary favorites. A casual one-stop shop, the bar also houses four eateries serving Thai food, Indian tandoori, gourmet burgers and Mexican fare to enjoy while you catch the big name games.
One of the only bars in the Orchard Road stretch to cover sports, Harry's laidback and grungy-chic atmosphere is reflected in their comforting pub grub with options like mini burgers and parma ham toasties. Soak in the air in their alfresco space as you people watch and down snacks over a pint or two.
This bar has three areas for you to chill at: the ground level bar, the riverside alfresco space and an upstairs lounge area. Most big name soccer games (especially the English Premier League) are shown here with over 30 draft and bottled beers, ciders, wine and cocktails. They even have traditional English nosh like steak and chips ($20) too.
One of the oldest Irish pubs on the island has got new digs. The vibe here is similar to boozy St Patrick's Day when there's a big ruby or soccer game on. While you're glued to the screen, tuck into hearty beef and Guinness pie or Irish stew and wash it down with some draught Kilkenny.
Remember to try the English ale Old Speckled Hen if you visit this pub. This cozy wood-furniture-filled place is a hotbed for yuppes and expats working nearby, and is especially riotous when major sports events are shown on the screens.
