Sports @ Varsity
Can we get a hand up if you love sports? 🙋Now keep that hand up if you love burgers… and beers? If your hand is still raised, you need to get yourself down to Varsity PRONTO. If we lost you somewhere and your hand is in your pocket–come on down, we’ll change your mind.
We’ve got everything you need in one convenient, lively and fun-loving location. Big screens. An insane sound system. Tables for groups small and large. Big tasty burgers to fill you up. Delicious fresh frothies to keep your blood pumping. A friendly team to help you order an Uber home. And an all-round killa ambiance that will keep you going through the half-time show. Varsity is for sports!
AFL
Aussie Rules
Footy and beer are Australia’s bread and butter. And, here at Varsity, we’ve got endless buttery loaves for you to enjoy (as well as burgers).
It’s been a strong start to the season for the Pies and Melbourne leading the ladder as we enter Week 8. Since 1958, Collingwood has only won two VFL/AFL Premierships in 1990 and 2010 and Melbourne last prevailing in 2020.

Make sure you don’t miss out on the chance to win AFL tickets by purchasing a pint of Carlton Dry at any of our 8 locations! Simply have your Varsity League Barcode scanned when you buy a pint and you’ll automatically be entered into the draw. Every week, two lucky winners will be selected and notified via email on Tuesday. Don’t know how to enter? Our friendly Varsity staff will be more than happy to help you out during your visit.

Sterling vs Cejudo
at Varsity Sports Bar
Get ready for the ultimate showdown between two of the top bantamweight fighters in the UFC – Aljamain Sterling and Henry Cejudo. On Sunday, May 7th, these two warriors will clash in a highly anticipated fight for the bantamweight title. Sterling, the current champion, will look to defend his title against the former two-division world champion Cejudo in what could be a legacy-defining matchup for both men.

We’ll be screening the fight live on our big Varsity screens, so you won’t miss a moment of the action. Doors open at 9 am, giving you plenty of time to get settled in and soak up the pre-fight vibes with your mates. And why not fuel up with one of our delicious Brekky It Up burgers and a cold one from 10 am when the beers start pouring to really get in the spirit?
Alongside this weekend’s 288, we’ll be screening all of the best UFC fights across the big screens. From the fight nights to the titles, we’ll be making sure you don’t miss a clinch, a hook or a takedown. Get all of the action at Varsity.
2023 NBA Playoffs
The second round of the NBA playoffs is in full swing after the first round’s epic entertainment, delivering a few surprises that have left us hungry for more.
The first round saw the 8-seed Miami Heat knocking off the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks, who led the NBA with 58 wins in the regular season. The Lakers took the second play-in team to advance when they defeated the second-seeded Memphis Grizzlies with a resounding 40-point victory in game.
8 teams remain in the fight for the Larry O’Brien trophy with Nuggets-Suns, Warriors-Lakers, Knicks-Heat and Celtics-76ers, making up the four second-round matchups. Two series are already underway as the Nuggets and Heat won Game 1s over the weekend.
Save the date for the NBA Finals, which are expected to start June 1 if all goes to plan.
