Where to Watch the Australian Open at Pubs in Perth

4 min | January 7th, 2026

Live, Loud & Perfect for Every Rally

Whether you’re catching early serve under the summer sun or staying in for late-night match points, Perth’s pubs are bringing world-class tennis to life on big screens with unbeatable atmosphere and local flavour. From beer gardens to waterfront views, these venues are serving up the Australian Open live & loud all tournament long — beers flowing, crowds buzzing and every point covered.

The Peach Pit – Scarborough

The Peach Pit is more than a local beachside favourite — it’s a GOAT-worthy spot for AO viewing by the ocean. Just steps from Scarborough Beach, this venue marries relaxed coastal vibes with sports-focused energy. Large screens and a dedicated live sports area mean you’ll catch every serve and rally as it happens, with crisp sound and clear sightlines.

Bonus? The Peach Pit’s January Burger of the Month — The Crikey! — makes match snacks feel like an event. Think smashed beef, shredded lamb, whipped feta and beetroot hot sauce, all for $27 with chips. That’s a feast while you follow the action.

Why it’s great for AO: Ocean breeze, big screens, standout food, and that seaside community energy make every break between sets that much better.
