State versus state, mate versus mate, maroon versus blue – it’s that time of year again! State of Origin is back and Sports Bar is locked, loaded and ready to offer you and your fellow footy fanatics a prime viewing position. Get ready to enjoy all three games live, large and loud. Soak in the atmosphere, chow down on some delicious eats and enjoy free entertainment, unmissable prizes, top-notch giveaways and commentary from your host, Hot Tomato personality Big Trev (Trev Butler). Word on the street is that there may be a few familiar footy faces strolling around to help with the giveaways too! When you’re not watching the game on the massive 10-m screen with cinema-grade sound, you’ll probably be throwing back a cold one and biting into one of Sports Bar’s signature Origin burgers. Will it be the QLD Burger, a buttermilk fried chicken breast, charred pineapple, tomato, red onion, lettuce, cheese and chipotle mayo served on a milk bun with fries? Or, perhaps you’re after the NSW Burger, an Angus beef patty, king prawn remoulade, buttercrunch lettuce and chipotle mayo served on a milk bun with fries.

If footy is your religion and you’re keen to make a proper night of the occasion, nab one of Sports Bar’s booth packages for $950, which includes a $450 bar tab, two all-star platters loaded with chicken wings, calamari, onion rings and chips, and two pizzas! For up to ten people, it’s the most luxurious way to take in the big game. Be quick though, as there are only a few available each night.

Game 1 – Wednesday June 8
Game 2 – Sunday June 26
