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. If you want to know who we think is going to win, read our predictions here.
Plenty of Perth pubs will be pulling out all the stops for the big dance with drinks, food, and big screens galore so you can get in amongst all the Grand Final action.
Grand Final Party on Subiaco Oval
This one is sure to bring back fond memories for those who remember Subi Oval being Perth’s home of footy action. This year, it’s playing host to the ultimate Grand Final party with all the action showing on the massive screens. There’ll be food, drink, and entertainment before and after the game with live bands and DJs.
Tickets are $53.53 for General Admission or you can upgrade to The Box Seats if you want prime seating in front of the massive screens.
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 $9.00 for pints of Holy GRALE lager all day and $5.00 pints at half-time, 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 bottomless Aperol Spritz, a selection of wine and tap beers, while you snack on a party platter to share for your table including sliders, party pies, sausage rolls, 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 2.5 hours of beverages and a shared footy platter for you and your mates for $95.00 each. Get your mates together and book here.
The Generous Squire
The Generous Squire is running a live and loud finals event with $10.00 pints siren-to-siren. Reserve a table in front of the screen and you’re set for the afternoon of burgers, beer, and of course, the big dance.
Make sure you get in quick to snap up your spot — this is always a popular one.
The Guildford Hotel
No bookings are 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.
If you do want a front-row seat to all the action, you can book a table for a group of six to 12 people in their new beer hall and feast on a sharing meat platter and free-flowing house beverages from siren to siren for $79.00 per person.
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 host 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 selected tap beers, wines, and spirits, and a shared footy platter for your table to snack on. Get your tickets here for $13.00 each.
