Title: FA Cup - Melbourne
Post by: Singapore Villa on March 22, 2025, 05:13:43 AM: Mods - feel free to move this.

Any Villa fans in Melbourne on here?

I am in town next weekend and looking for somewhere central to watch the Preston game.

Any decent pubs/sports bars that anyone can recommend.

Cheers

The Imperial near Parliament often shows matches.

The Fifth Province in St Kilda shows sport and is a pretty lively pub that does passable Guinness.
