We’re thrilled to announce the grand reopening of The Sporting Globe Richmond after a multimillion-dollar transformation. Nestled in the heart of Australia’s sporting capital, this iconic venue has been reimagined to set a new benchmark for Melbourne’s sports bar scene. While the building’s heritage dates back to the 1860s, our journey with it began in 2013, and it has since played a pivotal role in growing The Sporting Globe into Australia’s #1 sports bar brand. From hosting Melbourne’s biggest Super Bowl party to legendary AFL Grand Final celebrations, this venue has been the go-to destination for sports fans.
Our extensive renovations blend cutting-edge technology with our signature game-day atmosphere. Guests can enjoy stadium-style LED screens, 15 beers on tap, premium booth seating, and a fully retractable roof for year-round comfort. The expanded upstairs area now accommodates up to 300 patrons, perfect for major events, while the addition of GAME ON DARTS introduces the world’s most popular digital darts experience. In a nod to the building’s rich history, Melbourne’s only underground copper Carlton Draught tanks are now visible beneath a striking glass viewing platform. To top it all off, The Sporting Globe Richmond was recently crowned Best Sports Bar in Australia at the ALIA Awards—an achievement made possible by our dedicated team, loyal fans, and trusted suppliers. Here’s to more epic game nights, unforgettable moments, and an atmosphere like no other!
