There’s State of Origin, International Rugby, Super Netball and even the English Premier League all landing on Perth soil to give the people of Perth a sporting season not to forget! Most games will be held at Optus Stadium and you can catch all the Super Netball action at RAC Arena.
If you haven’t got your tickets yet, not to worry! Located less than 10 minutes east of Optus Stadium and even closer to RAC Arena is Perth city, heaving with an array of restaurants, pubs and bars within walking distance of RAC Arena or a short train ride away from Optus stadium. So you can grab your mates and watch the game at your favourite pub, or you can soak up the atmosphere in the city before or after the first whistle.
However you want to spend your fan-filled day, here are five of Perth’s best sporting pubs to consider adding to your itinerary.
Market Grounds is a large, multi-level inner city pub located in the heart of the Kings Square precinct. Opened in 2017, it was the first establishment to officially connect Northbridge with the Perth CBD in more than 100 years.
Featuring a main bar, garden bar, a dining area and mezzanine, Market Grounds is as versatile as it is modern and stylish. With a sumptuous bar and dining menu and an extensive drinks list, there is something for everyone at Market Grounds. Plus, it’s ultra-convenient for netball fans, only a short walk away from RAC arena! And for footy fans, it's just a quick five-minute walk to the Perth train station which runs express to Optus Stadium.
