Melbourne
Melbourne’s pubs are proving you don’t need the game on home turf to make it count. Wharf Hotel is giving fans a choice between free entry and a bottomless package, Hopscotch is running live music from midday straight through to kick-off, and a string of local favourites are pairing the footy with Sunday roasts, live duos and $11 pints.
