Besides Celtic Club and Charles Dickens can anyone recomend any pubs to watch the world cup that will be licenced until 6am.

Birrarung Marr.

Like a pub, but you can smoke.

and you can't drink. :( but as far as i'm aware birrarung marr won't be playing non-socceroos matches which sucks. i did send an email to fed square to see if they will have non-socceroos matches on their screen but they never replied.
i work at transport and im pretty sure we're not showing any of the 4:30 matches. the reason for this is we have a 1am lockout anyway. the other games will be on but i doubt the audio will be on, especially not on weekends when we have djs etc.
sports bar in crown would be the only one i can think of.
sux really.

Who said you can't drink at Birrarung Marr?

except you cant drink and it will be 4 degrees, just contacted a few not having much luck. The Local in Port Melbourne is licenced to show all Australian games but apart from that will only show the early games.

c'mon it's a public park. it's between a river and train tracks. and there'll be a strong police presence. do you really expect them to let people bring alcohol??
i can't find any official word on the issue (neither a yay or a nay) but I would be shocked if they planned to let people bring alcohol. if you want to find out for sure, here's the city of melbourne's info number 9658 9658

Theres afew of the backpackers bars that are showing all the games I think.
That backpackers on Elizabeth street, near the maccas, and I think Fluidoz on the corner of Franklin and Elizabeth.

I know a place in Caufield Zagames I think its called, showing all the games.

I think that backpackers is called the Joint. I only have vague memories of the place :-&

Too bad, I will be drinking 24/7 in Sydney at the FIFA fan rest. Sydney!!!

Station Hotel (opposite Prahran train station) will be showing at least the Dutch games. Don't go if you're not gonna be supporting the Dutch though.

Sports Bar at Crown is always the fallback position also.

Keeper's Arms in North Melbourne as well, that was traditionally a 'soccer' pub. Good Chicken Parma there as well.

been closed-down for ages:(
