Melbourne based swans vs Pies - Where to watch?

[nicky]

The Peel is ******* disgusting. Even my gay friends think so.

They're lying to you.

Can recommend the rising sun in south melbourne. Have gone there with a swans mate of mine for the last 3 games, and its always packed with swans supporters and has a really good atmosphere. Make sure you book a table if your going with a few people

South Melbourne or Richmond?

 

[Bob Skilton]

Are there any pubs or venues where all the Melbourne based supporters congregate to for a final? Beats watching it at home on the TV and listening to plebs on Foxtel/Channel 7.

Rising Sun Hotel South Melbourne or George Hotel Cecil Street South Melbourne, also try the Southern Cross Hotel South Melbourne - keeping it real in the heart of Swans homeland.

Water rat has an artificial feel about it, cant get into it.

I was at Raglan for the last Hawks-Swans clash, and what an atmosphere it was, I am sure it would have been electric this time round - but I know for a fact ANZ was crazy!!!!!

Yeah Water Rat is a last resort - But the George in Cecil Street is THE place - they are Pro Swans, if you go the their facebook page they have a big Swans Logo up inviting Swans Fans along...Their Pub Logo is also a Red and White Theme - they are affirming their South Melbourne Heritage..get along and support them during Grand Final week...

Now run by an arseh*le

I might agree if it's the same bloke who served me last time. Pretty rude service. But apart from that it's a good place to watch the games. So I've reserved a table for the big game, and might even have a couple of spare seats to share.

the water rat has always been plastic. The Middle Park used to be the best, but that went plastic as well, although it got a good run on the Sunday night in 05

Yep looked up the website now looks very different - had a major makeover.

I prefer the George I think, kicked on Sunday in 2005 as did the Southern Cross.
