Where to watch the Lions series?

[Rembrandt]

So I'm in sunny Melbourne now. Not exactly the mecca for gods game. Anyone know bars here that might have a bit of atmosphere going on a big screen rather than be relegated to the 14 inch tube tv in the corner of the pub?

In the CBD I'd try The Turf on Queen Street. They have a big screen up with sound for almost all Super Rugby games.

Another option is the Celtic Club (which is further up on Queen Street). I walked past there the other day and they had signs up promoting showing the test matches.

in Richmond there is The Sporting Globe - I haven't been there myself but it promotes itself as a sporting bar with multiple screens for all live sports being played.

Any tips for Hong Kong, Kowloon side?

@Rembrandt , Maori chief and college lawn are 2 traditional kiwi rugby hangouts , but I have to be honest , I haven't been to either for years .

Jump on the MTR and pop over island side?

Plenty of bars available to watch it in LKF or Wan Chai

Jed Thian was doing commentary at hooters last time I recall.

Yea I'll be in Melbourne for the Maori game so the best spot to watch would be appreciated

[Rembrandt]

@kiwiinmelb cheers I'll give them a call this week, @mariner4life I will post on here what they say

Off the beaten track, but anyone know a place that'll show rugby in Vasiliki, Greece? Jed Thian on commentary would be nice but not a deal-breaker..

College Lawn in Prahran is the best because they will keep it on the rugby even if there is a clash with AFL or league.

Celtic Club definitely showing the games. Not sure about what the atmosphere is like though.

Don't know what all you guys are doing in the pub at 8.30 in the morning - some of us have to go to work.

Typical bloody SH..

Any suggestions for Singapore? Only there for the first week of the tour, and the Wed game will have to be a sneaky tablet at the office, but any ideas for somewhere to sit all day Saturday watching rugby - welcome. Any bars at the airport likely candidates?
