Melbourne Rugby Pubs

[terje]

Off chance anyone knows of any pubs that'll show the rugby near Melb uni or up Brunswick (Sydney Rd) way?

Otherwise, will try the GNH. Thanks for the help!

OK, since this went so well last time anyone else what to try and give this pre-game pint thing another go? I'm thinking the PO Hotel again and I'll have a few mates with me.

Always interesting how Holiava is the least packed before games (Not just Rugby) considering it is the closest to all arenas and my memory it, after the 2012 club 7s was a very liberal pants policy.

Does the PO have a screen that will be showing the Chiefs v Stormers game?

 

[oztimmay]

I don't think the PO Hotel has a TV setup outside, where we typically like to drink (for the smokers). I think Holliava has TVs both inside and outside towards the back and I think you can enjoy TV, Beer and nicotine in the same location. I'm fairly sure if you ask nicely they will put on the Chiefs vs Stormers match (they look after the Rugby type there).

I'm happy to try Holliava if others are interested. It still ticks my goals of: (1) it serves Beer, (2) it serves dude food, (3) it's close to the ground and Richmond station, (4) it serves fat yak and most importantly (5) it serves beer. Anyone else interested?

Chaps, I'm definitely keen to make this happen but again can't make it before the Crusaders.

I'll be at the PO hotel from 6ish if anyone is interested.

This is how you do a pre match

So who's up for a pint before the ponies match tonight?

I prefer the smokefree version!

Same. Never been a smoker, never will be. That was taken at the outdoor bit of the PO Hotel and I wasn't bothered by any cigarette smoke. Fairly open place.

More pre game shenanigans.

Rebels fans, I'm going to be in your fair city this weekend. Will any of the venues on this thread be showing the Tahs Bulls game?

Turf bar will show it when asked, you coming to the Rebels game?

 

[oztimmay]

Turf, PO Hotel, Holliava, Botanical, College Lawn or any others listed above play games. If that all turns to crap then the Casino will probably have it on.

Cool thats a headache saved.

Not sure yet, to be honest I'd forgotten the Rebels were at home I'll need to convince the boss first.

Nothing else to do it's Good Friday after all.

 

[oztimmay]

So, Beer pre-game anyone? Thinking PO or RCH if it's pissing down and can't get a sheltered spot at PO. Will the man known as @Tex make an appearance for a pre-game Beer?

 

[Tex]

Yes.

<- this is how I dress on Fridays, shouldn't be hard to miss.
