Huge screens, Guinness merch and Yorkshire burritos — Sports Bar locks in British & Irish Lions Tour viewing line-up

If you haven’t sorted where to watch, or meet your mates before the British & Irish Lions Tour in Brisbane yet, Sports Bar at The Star Brisbane just made that decision a whole lot easier — and a lot more exciting.

They’ve officially locked in the full line-up for two massive nights. Reds v Lions on Wednesday 2 July, and the big Wallabies v Lions Test on Saturday 19 July. Whether you’re lucky enough to have tickets to Suncorp or you’re just looking for an epic place to catch the game, this spot is shaping up to be the ultimate rugby hangout.

Let’s start with the basics — like their massive LED displays that fill the room and sound so loud and clear you’ll swear you’re on the sidelines hearing every crunch and roar. The bar’s positioned high above the Brisbane River, wrapped in glass, so the atmosphere is electric — and the vibe, well, it’s exactly what you want on game day.

Before the action kicks off, there’s live Irish music to get you in the mood — because if the Lions are coming, the tunes better match. When hunger strikes, the Yorkshire burritos are ready to fill you up with proper flavour — way better than your standard pie and chips.

On top of all that, you have the chance to get your hands on some Guinness merch to help you rep your favourite drink and remember the night for all the right reasons. And if you’re heading to Suncorp, don’t sweat the transport — Sports Bar has free shuttle buses running to the stadium, but fair warning, seats are limited, so don’t leave it to the last minute.

If that wasn’t enough, the night before the big Wallabies Test, Sports Bar is hosting the Champion’s Series — a fan event featuring rugby legends Stephen Moore and Jason Leonard. You can catch a short Q&A, snap a photo with the legends, and enter for a chance to win a double pass to the Wallabies v Lions game.

So whether you’re all about the sport, the food, the music, or just a good excuse to get together with mates, Sports Bar at The Star Brisbane is where you want to be. Two massive games, huge screens, live tunes, and a community that knows how to have a good time. Basically, it’s the perfect way to soak up the Lions Tour in Brisbane.

The Star Brisbane practises the responsible service of alcohol. Guests must be 18 years or over to enter Sports Bar and the Casino. BET WITH YOUR HEAD, NOT OVER IT.
