Melbourne based swans vs Pies - Where to watch?

[VanBerlo=God]

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.

 

[KrakFiend]

Not sure, but apparently there are a few pubs in Melbourne that play the football, shouldn't be too hard to avoid a night on the couch.

Just pull out a map of Melbourne, put your finger down somewhere, and there should be approx. 34863846346 pubs playing the footy within a 1km radius.

While you no doubt made yourself chuckle, he was clearly asking about Swans pubs.

Check the swans website. I think there's a list of Swans friendly venues across Australia.

The Tote Hotel in East Melbourne is where you should go, be sure to dress up in all your Swans gear.

^ isn't the Tote primarily a music/band orientated pub?

A few Swans mates and I are heading to the Great Northern Hotel in North Carlton, awesome footy pub.

Van berlo most pubs will be showing the footy and there will be plenty of support for the swans on the basis that collingwood are hated because their supporters are obnoxious.

To the obnoxious pies poster, it's fine for you to come on our board but do you mind not trolling threads asking general questions that in no way relate to 11 game winning streaks etc... jesus, he was asking a simple question.

The tote is in collingwood not east melbourne and it's a live band venue not a sports bar.

Very good question! one im asking myself now..

Im just assuming here, but would the pubs around South Melbourne have a more 'swans friendly' atmosphere??

 

[the_slurpee_man]

Check the swans website. I think there's a list of Swans friendly venues across Australia.

Thanks for the tip mate,

Checked on the site now,

'The Rising Sun Hotel, 2 Raglan Street, South Melbourne VIC 3205'

I know where I'll come Friday night!

Flying in from Philly?

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

Now run by an arseh*le

 

[nicky]

He gave good advice leave him alone. Better advice than he got from the smartarse pies poster and SWANS poster sending him to a "gay" club.

 

[bedford]

I'm not having ago at the poster and baja knows that pub very well, lighten up

 

[nicky]

"Lighten up", really? You're the one who told an innocent poster to piss off.

Anyway, i'm not interested in involving myself in one of your typical cliquey disputes. I'm here to keep this thread on topic and open to good suggestions in order to help my fellow swan fan, van berlo, find a decent pub to watch the game at.

 

[bedford]

And i'm just saying that the Riser is now run by an arseh*le. The Railway club in Port would be better

OMG pleeeath... Thtop being homophobic. Nothing wrong with gay pubs. Golly gosh.

 

[bedford]

You know them all and they suit your brown suite

 

[l337_Azza]

Long time reader ... First time poster...

Sorry to Hi-Jack the thread but im in Adelaide : I have seen on the Swans website that the West's footy club is a friendly venue.. Can any1 confirm or deny ?

/end_hijack ;P

The point is it's not a gay club, hence the " " around gay. It's a VERY famous live music venue.

At risk of childish jokes... baja almost knows his gay bars, there is one in Collingwood using the and a 4 letter word too.
