Turf Sports Bar & Grill
Whether you’re looking for a great night out or perhaps a new favourite spot to support your team, the Turf Sports Bar & Grill is a place that knows how to encompass versatility.
Situated at 131 Queen Street, Turf prides itself on providing everything you need under one roof. Whether you fancy sampling one of the delicious dishes from the extensive menu, playing pool with friends or maybe working your way through the 20+ different types of imported Beers and Ales on offer (although perhaps not advisable in one night…), Turf can provide you with a chilled but socialable evening – or even a bar to begin your night out in!
Boasting an impressive variety of food on the menu, Turf has a dish to suit everyone’s taste buds. Whether you’re after a quality cut of steak straight from the grill (starting from $28), a mouthwatering pizza fresh from the oven ($14+) or something a little more pub grub – think a ‘Bookies Angus Burger’, setting you back $19.50 – the food quality is superb. But don’t let the prices sway you; Turf also offers a variety of weekly food specials that’ll suit those on a tighter budget.
Monday to Wednesday brings a $15 speciality dish, whether it’s a Peppered Porterhouse, a Pizza and a Pint or any of the Chicken Parmas from the ‘Parmageddon’ menu, you can’t beat Turf’s bargains. Or if visiting at the weekend, light diners will also be happy to hear there’s something smaller available for Friday and Saturday evenings; Wings are only $14 for 12 or $8 for 6 – all you need to settle your stomach before a night on the town!
Wining and dining aside, sports fans too will be delighted to hear that the Turf specialises in making supporters feel at home. With two big screens, a range of plasmas all around the venue and top notch surround sound, you know you’re in the right hands when it comes to watching your favourite sporting event. Being the closest watering hole to the Etihad Stadium too, you can rest assured that you’re in the heart of all action before, during and after your events.
Plus, for all English travellers seeking a bit of team spirit during the Ashes, Turf is renowned for being the official headquarters of the ‘Barmy Army’ for the last 3 cricket tours, and this year is to be no exception. With the pub set to filled to the roof with English supporters come late December, it’ll feel like your home from home at the Turf!
