Watching AFL (Aussie rules!)

[Can]

Anywhere in Patong that screens Australian Football live?

 

[Tara]

Many places.

* Aussie Bar on Bangla Rd
* First bar on left hand side as you enter Soi Seadragon (Phil is the owner..he loves a beer)
* 2 Black Sheep on Rat-U-Thit Rd (next to open air restaurants)
* Bushranger Bar n Grill - also on Rat-U-Thit Rd, but heading in the opposite direction

Bushranger and Soi Seadragon bar both have nice large plasmas and are the quietest options for watching a game.

Aussie Bar is usually very busy (for night games) and 2 Black Sheep has musicians etc playing which can be a distraction.

By the way, the screening times in Patong follow the Fox Footy timetable.

Any game that is being screened on Channel 10 live into Australia will generally be shown on delay (~3 hrs) in Patong, as per the case with Fox Footy.

Most of the bars have a sheet up showing which games are being televised and when.

Thanks for helping me out with the name K2 :thumbsup:

Yes, good bunch in there. Phil is a character and he put on a free BBQ one day for patrons - much appreciated by this carnivore.

Couple of the girls there taught me some Thai one arvo.

Bai nai sow suay
Bai nai bai duay

Two phrases that worked a treat.

Phil - the owner - is a Hawthorn Football club supporter.

 

[Hey you]

Sounds good! :happyi:

The Sailor Bar on Beach road also plays the AFL. I always watch the games there as it is not as busy as the Aussie BAr in Bangla.
The beers are always cold.

Cheers

If you have the Australia channel in your loom you can watch
some AFL and NRL, you wont be disturbed during the game.

I sat in the Auzzie bar one night and was talking, hardly noticed the game I really wanted to watch....

NRL STATE of origin in about 9 days.
Thats worth a look no matter what sport you enjoy!!

I usually goes to AussieBar on Bangla whenever I wanna watch sports, but it is a little bit to noisy in there.....

Stay in Your room and watch SuperSport instead....

Agree, the Octopus Bar is a great place if you're after AFL/ARL games...it's the first bar as you enter Soi Seedragon (on the left hand side)

Phil, Rambo (and Bowy when he's in town) love their sport and they and their girls will surely show you a good time.

It's airconditioned with 6 pool tables upstairs and downstairs (the girls are seriously good at pool) and they play some good music..

They even sell Singha light (3.5%) which is not common in most other bars around. (believe me, it's handy when you plan on being UP all night!)

There's gonna be big crowd there for the AFL finals in late September..and I'm sure Phil will crank up the barbie...

anyone know what day the AFL grand final is? I have searched up and down afl.com.au and can't find it.

[Casca]

TGs are so not into watching sport with me at the bar or in bed

 

[sun8979]

Good thing is that you can watch the replay in your room the next morning while TG sleeps...

That's what I did when the mighty Magpies creamed Sydney in June.

(I managed to do my own 'creaming' after the game..) LOL

 

[svengali88]

Grand final always Last saturday in september

 

[Pompal 09.]

Kangaroo bar will be showing afl during the morning with sound as well and usually draws a crowd of loud mouthed aussie thinking AFL is the only football code worth watching. Or you can try Sailor Bar on the Beach Road. Its usually quieter there so you can watch the game in peace.

 

[Helios]

It is the only code of football worth watching!
