Best Sydney pub for rugby watching

We headed to The Rugby Club in Circular Quay last Friday, was superb.

Flat screens all over the place, every one of them showing the Rugby. Sound turned up, and everyone there is interested in watching the match.

Range of beers was a bit lacking, but $12 jugs of Carlton made up for that. If they could add Coopers Pale Ale to their on tap selection it'd be just about perfect.

Sounds pretty ace. My local has 3 flatties and a projector in the beer garden dedicated to the rugby at the moment - but only until the League starts from previous experience. Might have to toddle down some time...

Might I add the London hotel in Balmain. Always a decent crowd show up to watch the rugby on a big bunch of screens, with sound ON. Beer selection is damn good and the best part is if it gets too busy downstairs you can always head upstairs to the pool tables which are usually deserted and watch the game as if its in your lounge room. Win in my books.

What's the damage like on beer? Do they do grub too?

They do a good burger too. The best thing about the Rugby club is the 1980s prices. But you have a choice of VB, New or Carlton Draught.

London and or Town Hall in Balmain. Town Hall has a Massive screen right next to the main Bar

Correction, they did a good burger, back when the BBQ was open on the ground floor. Since late last year it's up to the restaurant on lvl1 and the Burgers are hit and miss.

Isn't eating cheating?

As long as the beer is cold, beer lines clean, and the serving staff suitably suitable what else do we need??

Not the cheapest, as you might expect. Last I recall it was around $6 for a schooner of coopers pale. They do bar food and have a restaurant - the bar food is pretty decent but nit bargain-basement either. I guess that's Balmain really...

I'll second the London. I like the restaurant out the back too. Though, as you say, it's not particularly cheap.

Have they stopped the outdoor barbie for the burgers? They were awesome.

I don't believe it. Is nothing sacred ?

I still remember gobbling up a delicious Rugby club cheeseburger, and then choking on the flag that I'd somehow half digested. Good effort that.

Na there were suits but a lot of rugby jerseys around.

And I had to quietly sneak out post game before I was recognised.

Moses, the beer selection was fine & well priced IMO. They serve Steinlager Pure. Nuff said.
just one thing I do not get is how rude the crusaders fans are.

Exactly what consititutes a Waratahs HQ venue, I thought there was supposed to be trivia & prizes handed out. Nothing.

Been away for 5 years or so but the Trinity in Surry Hills is great for 6 nations, my old local the Robin Hood in Charring Cross and the Paddo bowling club gets a great atmosphere. Harlequins gets a high Kiwi concentration if thats your thing.

Whatever became of the Wallaby Bar in Darling Harbour?
Anybody got a good country venue? I found it very hard to find a pub that plays rugby when the league is on.
