    Great atmosphere if you’re looking to watch a game or match. Heaps of tvs and can put a bet on too. Shared a meat platter which was very good and $9 pints if you’re a member. Great experience

    Came on a Thursday night for parma night as well as Trivia night. The Parma I had (cheeseburger Parma) was a bit on the heavy side for me. My friends had the pork ribs and they looked delicious. But the staff were awesome, attentive and quick to clean the table. The trivia was a lot of fun and would definitely come back for it.

    Good customer service, average food, great range of entertainment options- roof top bar, outdoor seating, trivia nights, Function rooms. Sticky date pudding is a must try . Great Bar and good range of beverages. Ask for the vegan parma- yum !

    Great buffalo wings here. Really lovely service from the bartending team who were quick to show us to a table and hand us some menus. Super keen to get back to watch a big sporting event here and get stuck into the other food items on offer. Not a heap of parking but super accessible via tram.

    Ribs was juicy and delicious, even better half price on Mondays. Outstanding service by Jules. Thank you so much, Jules. 5 star food and service.

    Amazing plants-based bites. I definitely will order it again in the next visit. Also check it out their half-lunch deal $13.90 for any wraps, burgers and salads. What a heavenly place on earth!

    Great place to go for a drink and to watch a game. Fantastic atmosphere and wonderful bar food to go with it. Great customer services all night from Natalie who was serving our table. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a chill place to go out with mates.

    Good selection of drinks, amazing staff (table service by the wonderful Natalie), and the Morocan chicken salad was fantastic! Cheesecake for desert (check it out!!!) Great place to watch the game with the boys.

    Lucky to secure a booth for the AFL grand final. The venue was perfect for watching sport, the staff were extremely friendly and efficient and the food was excellent. We had calamari, caesar salad and a parmie as a part of the package deal. We hope to return again next year.

    Terrible service by “bar manager” that had a chip on her shoulder. Gift voucher supplied from trivia night didn’t work and manager said not my problem come back later. Manager then denied us service and told us to come back at the end for a refund. Left incorrect change out and made us wait 45 minutes while she “checked” the tills upstairs. We frequent this bar and this was the worst service to date from a usually very hospitable team.

    We’ve enjoyed their ribeye, ribs & chicken wings, as well as the music & vibes while dining in there.

    We first went to this venue in January 2023 and thought it was quite good, so recently returned with a group of friends on our recommendation. Unfortunately, we didn’t have a good experience this time! Two of us shared the Pulled Pork sliders and it was dry, also the 12x Chicken Wings were cold. We are hearty eaters and not very fussy, but on this occasion we couldn’t eat much of it, as it was too unpleasant! Luckily the others in our group ordered different meals and were satisfied with their food. I left our table to go to the toilet, when I returned all the dishes were collected by the staff, so I didn’t get the opportunity to mention it to them. The others in our group sitting at the table were too embarrassed to complain on my behalf. Admittedly, the venue was very busy, service was still good and we found the staff to be friendly! Not sure if we will visit this venue again for a meal, as I didn’t feel we had good value for money! 😂

    Pretty good sports bar. Although the main sports downstairs bar area with the big screens isn’t layed out the best, If you’re not there early then chances are you’ll have a bad seat with awkward viewing angle. Food was fantastic though! Buffalo Wings were amazing and so was the Parmi

    Great place to watch a sporting event on one of the many screens...reasonably priced drinks and food

  • 1/5 Steven S. 8 months ago on Google • 65 reviews
    My mate and I ordered calamari entrée’s but our steak and Parma main meals came out first by the time the calamari entrée’s came out we both 3/4 of the way through our main meals. We questioned the waiter about this and his response was, “I don’t work in the kitchen” then just wakes off like nothing had happened. How is that an appropriate response to a reasonable question? Pictured below is a photo of when the entree’s arrived

    Great place to watch a sporting event on the numerous screens...reasonably priced drinks and food

  • 4/5 Chels 3 months ago on Google • 27 reviews New
    Excellent food! Hands down the best. Cocktail Towers could use some Improvement. They are warm, not mixed. So the first few cups are syrup/alcohol and then just fizz at the top.

  • 2/5 ZH W. 6 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    The food is great and we didn’t wait for long. But the service and atmosphere is cold and unfriendly. Staff members did not come to show us the seat, nor coming to take our order. I was not asked to show the membership when ordering and after dinner they refused to add my membership. The atmosphere is cold and dim, no music, just like an old local pub, not comparable to other Sporting Globe we have been to. Nice thing is that they have multiple screens.

  • 5/5 Tristan A. 2 months ago on Google • 13 reviews New
    Went there with a group of friends for the LOTR trivia night. They were very accommodating and helpful regarding a mistake I had made booking tickets for the event. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was wonderful. The toilets were also very clean. I would highly recommend going there just on a regular night, but if you are able to book in to the trivia nights they hold there it is a wonderful experience.

  • 2/5 Anatole I. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Catherine W. 11 months ago on Google
    What an awesome venue. Delicious food and barman Angus made sure we were all well looked after. Definitely be returning very soon 🍻🥂😋

  • 5/5 Ineza H. 11 months ago on Google
    We had the best steak and Parma whilst watching the footy. The staff were super friendly and helpful with Angus looking after our every need. We’ll definitely be back with this kind of service.

    I Love this place and everything about it. I came here for years before moving overseas a few years back and I’ve just moved back to the area purely to be close to this place again. Brilliant sports bar for domestic and international events. Loads of big screens for whatever you’re into. NFL / UFC / AFL / NBA plus of course Sky Racing and TAB facilities for when you fancy a go at getting the Quaddie at Flemington. Quality selection of draught beers on tap with some incredible specials with some pints priced between $7.50-$9.50 with will take you back to pre-Covid 2020 inflated days (ahh those were good days 😊) Food is proper sports bar style food - think wings, burgers, tacos etc. And dare I say it, - quality stuff too. Great salad bowls and vegetarian options (cause I have a few vegan friends - but I don’t judge them lol) But honestly it’s the amazingly friendly staff that keeps me coming back here. All of them are so welcoming and accommodating. Lovely people. Anytime I want to watch my team play they will make sure there’s a screen showing the game - AND…. They never judge when I carry on like a cry baby when my team loses (which, unfortunately - is most of the time). And if ya haven’t already, definitely download the app to earn rewards and points. 10/10

  • 1/5 Harvey Z. 10 months ago on Google
    The space was freezing. I ordered a porterhouse medium rare. It was well done. Tough as an old boot. No time to send it back. Chips were cold and so called mushroom sauce had about two slices of mushroom in a weird gravy that tasted quite sour. I asked for pepper as there was none on the table and was brought an empty pepper shaker. Given the quality of food nearby they need to lift their game.

  • 4/5 Stu G. 1 year ago on Google
    Half price pints on Monday is good and popular. Hefty surcharges on public holidays are a turn-off. Staff at front bar are usually very friendly and quick. Decent range of beers. Upstairs is great for big sporting event watching.

  • 1/5 Nathalie gomez m. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is nice but, i waited for my food over 1 hour an a half and I decided to cancel after ask a couple of times for it and received the same answer, your order is the next.

  • 5/5 Ashley M. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome food and great atmosphere on a Friday night made better by Abbey’s fantastic service. She’s got a lovely bubbly energy and served us with a smile.

  • 4/5 Joanne S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great choices of pub grab. Spacious Pulled pork sliders great Priced well A little bit chilly inside on a winter's day Table or bar service Nice.place to meet

  • 2/5 Daniel J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great venue. Attended for Origin, and went to order food. Was told in the space of 15 minutes that the kitchen was closed for 45 mins, then 5 mins, then 10. Each time the staff member was indifferent. It’s a shame. I’ve been before and enjoyed the food and atmosphere. I’ll try elsewhere next time.

  • 5/5 Robyn W. 1 year ago on Google
    Booked for a group of friends today for a long lunch session. Everything was great, the food selection and drinks but especially the wonderful, friendly service by all the staff, particularly Natalie, who waited our tables… nothing was too much trouble for her and she made our day so much more special.. a real gem Thankyou ,

  • 3/5 Anahí B. 2 years ago on Google
    I had the beef nachos from the summer special menu and they were just fine, not too much beef and they burned it a little. Chicken wings with honey soy sauce were nothing special either. The churros from the summer special menu were good though, with ice cream and chocolate bars.

  • 5/5 Sally Y. 1 year ago on Google
    We came here for the half price ribs which were delicious! Service was quick and thankfully the space wasn't too busy when we went.

  • 3/5 Chrissie M. 2 years ago on Google
    i went to Richmond sporting globe to get a half price steak that because of lockdown no half price steaks I had the $10 nachos on Saturday that were $1the nachos were delicious

  • 4/5 David H. 5 years ago on Google
    Had the Tuesday night steak special. Not bad, but nothing amazing, and a little undercooked (see photo). Some good drink specials to be had during the week too. A good place if you want to watch a game while you're having a meal.

  • 5/5 Kevin A. 2 years ago on Google
    10 of us are regular Saturday lunchers at Kelvin Moore’s Sporting Globe. Great staff, excellent meals and we always have a great day. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Cal 2 years ago on Google
    They are a very accommodating team at TSG Richmond. The food is always on point and so is the hospitality! Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Beverley H. 2 years ago on Google
    Good basic pub food and tasty too. Service staff were great and friendly. I'd definitely go there again. Friday nights, basic mixed drinks were only $5, but I was there at 6pm, so that might factor in to the price.

  • 5/5 Jo H. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    Recently, celebrated my son 21st birthday in the function room and couldn't have asked for a better venue. Feedback from our guests was excellent. Food was great, they loved the outdoor area, and the staff was friendly and attentive to our needs.
