A huge thank you to everyone who joined us to watch the Grand Final and share the excitement with us. If you’d like to relive the morning and see if you can spot yourself, check out the photos here! 📸

We’re already looking forward to next year!

(Reserved seating now sold out!! The pub will seat booked guests first and then everyone else until the pub is at capacity!)

Booked guests will be seated before we open the doors to everyone else, giving you the best chance to settle in before the action starts. Once the doors open, any remaining space is first come, first served for those hoping to grab the last seats or a great standing spot.

This is one of our busiest sporting events of the year, so booking is highly recommended.
