Never been there, intended to check it out

might have a little flutter whilst im there ;-)

 

[Surandy]

Check the Steakhouse in the casino complex, they should be showing the Manly vs North Qld final live, but no sound so you don't have to listen to Gould's dribble and Ikin's sh*t.

Afternoon All,

Could someone advise of a nice establishment to have a few ales at prior to game in close proximity to the dome?

 

[Ice777]

Depends on what you're after before the game. There's bars at the Docklands you can have a drink, you can go to the Casino which isn't too far away pretty easy to get to the ground from there or you can just go in Livewire which is in the Dome itself which is a pretty popular haunt for a drink before and after the game.

In typical Channel Nein fashion they will show it at midnight.

The Xchange Hotel on the corner of King and Little Collins Sts is alright.

Ask BredoThe Jet :lol:

Been to more bars than me in his brief visits ;-)

Although I have only lived in Melbourne for just over 4 years, lived in Geelong before that.

Ch 9 are showing the movie The Family man 7.30pm-10pm on Saturday night :crazy:
not a bad flick with Nick Cage, but jesus christ
its a 7 year old movie thats been repeated plenty

At 10pm there is the 20/20 WC final

A delayed telecast of the game at 12am

FMD, no wonder league is travelling at snails pace down there

 

[Ice777]

Welcome to the world of a Storm/rugby league supporter in Melbourne. You blokes will only have to put up with it for one night, we've been putting up with it for 10 years. A 7 year old movie hey? Looks like we hit the jackpot this time, usually ones they air when the games on are over 10 years old at least. I shouldn't complain though, it also makes a nice change from the Gilmore Girls they sometimes show in place of the Sunday game :sarcasm:

Imparja is showing the game live so any pub that gets, and shows, that Imparja feed.

Pubs that I know of that historically have been prepared to show RL that have the Imparja feed are:

Station Hotel, Prahran
Rising Sun Hotel, Cnr Swan & Burnley Sts, Richmond
The Vaucluse, Swan St, Richmond

 

[Captian_Klutz]

Charles Dickens has been know to be a pro RL pub also.

Cheers, I will be staying in St Kilda, what would be the easiest pub to get to.

Plenty of good boozers to have an ale before the game. It's a bit of a squeeze and I wouldn't recommend it for any other reason other than just because you have to, but Young & Jackson across from Flinders St station is iconic and usually gets a good following of rugby league supporters pre-game.
Sunday night, I'd head to some of the little laneway bars near Spring St. Meyers Place has a couple, but ask around. Locals will fill you in.

Station Hotel in Prahan (5 mins in a cab) is your best bet from StK.

However, you get absolute league crowd guarantee if you go to the Rising Sun Hotel in Richmond.
