Nothing beats watching a footy match with a cold beer in hand—except maybe placing a cheeky bet while you’re at it. Last weekend, I was at this classic old-school pub in Byron Bay, where they had TAB screens up, punters yelling at the races, and the perfect atmosphere for a solid betting session.
I ended up putting down a multi on the AFL and NRL—and, of course, my footy team let me down (cheers, North Melbourne
). But honestly, the vibe was electric, and I reckon watching and betting in the right pub makes the experience 10x better.
So now I’m on a mission—where’s the best Aussie pub to watch, bet, and have a proper sports-mad crowd around you? Any hidden gems outside of the big cities? Keen to hear your recommendations!
