Best Sports Bars and Pubs showing Live Cricket
Where are the best pubs to watch cricket you ask? These pubs listed below are a bloody good start. Do not let this one go through to the keeper or be like Steve Smith, he never gets out. Have a look at the pages for these wonderful pubs to find out if they will have the commentary blasting, hot food flying out of the kitchen and if they are open. Always found the latter to be crucial but that’s just us. So pick a pub, call your mates and pitch up for an afternoon of discussion on what reverse swing actually is or who the hell Duckworth Lewis is. There are more pages like this one for other sports as well; go on check out our list of best pubs to watch AFL.
Venues
Pineapple Hotel
Brisbane
The Piney as it is affectionately known is a cricket fans oasis. A stones throw from the Gabba the Piney has plenty of screens and does cricket about as well as any pub in Australia.
The Rising Sun Richmond
Melbourne
The riser is a proper pub. It has a real local feel and a welcoming atmosphere. Cricket is always on at the riser and they have just done a sweet reno to the upstairs section.
Buffalo Bar
Brisbane
Sure the Buffalo bar is an American themed sports bar but that doesn't stop them showing all the big cricket matches. The beer garden is not to be missed. American menu, cold beer and cricket. Yes, please.
Regatta Hotel
Toowong
One of the more famous pubs in Brisbane the Regatta has it all. Most importantly to you though, it shows a whole lot of cricket.
Ferry Road Tavern
Southport
A dream venue for those looking for live sport atmosphere with a side of Gold Coast vibe.
