The biggest day on any AFL fan’s calendar is fast approaching.
Whether you’re one of the lucky supporters cheering on your team, keen to get amongst it over the long weekend, being dragged to a grand final viewing by mates, or just simply footy mad — there is an event or screen at a suburb near you.
Plenty of Perth pubs will be pulling out all the stops for the big dance with booze, food, and big screens galore so you can get in amongst all the Grand Final action.
The Cottesloe Beach Hotel
Watch the best ball game of the year across from one of Perth’s best beaches at the Cottesloe Beach Hotel. They’ll be firing up the big screens, putting on some great deals like a ‘burger and bev’ for $25.00, $9.00 for pints of Holy GRALE lager, and an after-game party in the Beach Club from 3:00 pm. Book a table here.
Market Grounds
One of the biggest inner-city pubs in the country is the place to be this Saturday. It’s the biggest sporting event of the year and Market Grounds are putting on their biggest event of the year. It’s Siren to Siren for the Grand Final which includes free-flowing wines, beers, ciders, sparkling, and Aperol Spritz to go along with a footy platter for the table to share that includes sliders, wings, arancini, and more.
It’s $89.00 each and you’ll need to book for this one so fire up the group chat.
The Stables Bar
It’s Game Day on the Ground Floor. If you’re looking for an inner-city venue to watch the game, this is it. Enjoy three hours of beverages and a shared footy platter for you and your mates for $90.00 each. Get your mates together and book here.
The Generous Squire
The Generous Squire is running an all-inclusive, live and loud finals event for $75.00 per person. It includes siren-to-siren house brews and cider, a chef’s selection snacks platter, and a reserved table in front of the screen.
Make sure you get in quick to snap up your spot – this won’t last long.
The Leederville Hotel
If you’re looking for a different vibe or don’t want to head all the way into the city, then The Leederville Hotel is where you want to be. Their legendary Grand Final party is happening again this year — you can expect live music, food by Miss Chows, and merch giveaways to name a few.
Tickets start at $20.00 each but if you’re wanting to run it a bounce further, book in for the Yum Cha Long Lunch. It’s bottomless siren-to-siren snacks and sips for $160.00.
The Claremont Hotel
Enjoy bottomless beer and a barbeque buffet while you experience the thrill of the AFL Grand Final. The venue has just undergone a massive renovation making it one of the grandest venues in Perth. Book in for an easy goal here.
The Guildford Hotel
No bookings required for this one but given how popular The Guildford is, it’s likely to fill up quite fast, so get in early and grab a table. Take advantage of phone ordering so you don’t miss any of the action.
Varsity
Varsity is for beers, sports, and burgers — three of our favourite things in life
This place is always buzzing with fans as one of the best sports bars in Perth, but you can guarantee it will be extra loud on Grand Final day. Make your way in early to grab the best seats in the house and enjoy some dirty burgers, belly-filling pizzas, fiery hot wings, and tap beers as you try your best to have a conversation over the deafening big screen noise.
The Camfield
It wouldn’t be a complete ‘where to watch the AFL grand final’ list without the iconic Camfield making an appearance.
It’s the venue that is unofficially known as the home of football — largely due to its location right outside Australia’s best stadium. Expect a day of high emotion, laughter, and entertainment with hosts Daniel Delby and Chris Masten. This ticketed event will be kicking up an all-inclusive beverage and food package from 12:00 pm right until the final siren, including free-flowing tap beers and wines, and a two-course shared meal. Get your tickets here for $135.00 each.
