Customer’s Review:

Ascend the stairs of Hotel CBD and you get to this somewhat hidden sports bar. Scores of big and small screens on every wall and in every direction, just as they should be. Decent selection of tap beer and a few bottles, similar to other types of booze. Snag yourself a private booth and you can watch a game on the big screen and a separate game on your screen. A sports lovers paradise, equipped with a TAB!

Its large spacious venue is great for children, and families and the outdoor beer garden is pet friendly.

Sports fans will be happy with all sports covered on many large screens throughout the venue. Great specials for members too. Highly recommended.
