The Pass Pubs Guide to the NRL Grand Final: Sydney

3 minutes | September 10th, 2026

Grand Final Sunday is on home turf for Sydney, and the city’s pubs are matching the occasion

Think beer towers, backyard screens, footy bingo and DJ sets, the NRL Grand Final is going off with a bang. Here’s where to plant yourself on Sunday 4 October.

The Courthouse Newtown

The Courty is going big on Grand Final Sunday, with Footy Bingo, $20 Tooheys New jugs and an electric game-day atmosphere from 5pm. It doesn’t stop when the final siren sounds either, with the pub rolling straight into its October Long Weekend celebrations — DJs and $16 Frozen Rum Punch included. 

Cargo

Down at King Street Wharf, Cargo is fuelling Grand Final Sunday with a $99 Hahn SuperDry beer tower and share platter, watching every try, tackle and game-changing moment live and loud on the big screen. There’s a Drop Bear takeover bringing extra energy to the night, and Pass members can enjoy 20% off Drop Bear products throughout — a nice added bonus for your Grand Final fever.

The Golden Sheaf

Double Bay’s The Golden Sheaf is fuelling the action with a $79 Game Day Combo — a shared snack platter and jug of Stone & Wood, available all day — while the game plays out on the big screens. Once the final siren sounds, the long-weekend celebrations continue with a DJ in the Garden Bar from 10pm until late. Tables are limited, so lock it in early.

Public House Petersham

Public House Petersham is bringing the biggest game of the year to its massive backyard garden screen, with the NRL Grand Final live and loud throughout the venue. Round up the crew and settle in surrounded by fellow footy fans with a true backyard footy vibe.

BrewDog South Eveleigh

BrewDog South Eveleigh is making itself Grand Final HQ for the day — swing by for pre-game drinks before heading to the game, or settle in and catch all the action live and loud on the big screens, with cold beers and big-game energy from start to finish.

Henley’s Bar & Kitchen

In the city, Henley’s Bar & Kitchen has the NRL Premiership Grand Final live and loud from 7:30pm. Get in early for dinner, grab an ice-cold drink and settle in before kick-off — whether you’re backing your team or just here for the atmosphere, game day is sorted.

White Cockatoo Hotel

Over in Petersham, White Cockatoo Hotel is showing the Grand Final live and loud from 7:30pm, with cold drinks, pub favourites and plenty of atmosphere throughout the night. Round up your mates and book your spot for one of the biggest nights on the NRL calendar.
