Exclusive Venue Hire - Seated (Direct Booking) at Turf Bar


Why you'll love this venue

  • Luckily, for those who need some sustenance in between halves, or quarters, or innings, Turf Bar also does some spectacular pub grub (some of it sports themed!), within some exceedingly classy Victorian surrounds.
  • It's also a pub. An unchanged, unapologetic pub. Steak nights. Pizza nights. Pot and Parmy nights. Wooden floor boards and dark green carpet.
  • Turf Bar lives up to its “sports bar” title.
Cozy and sporting a dark wood décor, the event space is wholly reminiscent of a sports clubroom. With wood paneling and plenty of sports-related paraphernalia, this is a top choice for sports lovers, and makes a great spot for intimate group gatherings: up to 40 standing guests can be accommodated for cocktail events, whilst a maximum of 20 people may utilize the room for seated dining. Classic and bearing all the hallmarks of a typical old Victorian pub, the venue is a stylishly casual venue space for both social and corporate events. Please note: this venue is unfortunately not suitable for 18th birthday celebrations.

Visited for Monday night steak special. Chips and salad were standard. However, the chef went overboard with salt on my steak, resulting in an excessively salty taste. Contrasting with a previous visit two years ago when the meal included a drink, the current experience lacked that extra touch. Despite the saltiness, the steak was cooked well, providing an acceptable flavor profile overall.

Old school feel, prompt service, good bangers and mash, and, a well poured Guinness. There's plenty of screens to watch sports from any spot in the bar. It's getting rare to find and traditional bar in Melbourne CBD and the Turf provides a comfortable and familiar surround if that's the vibe you're looking for.

I particularly love their steak night, as always. And also because this pub is close to where we live. I’m back here again on Monday for their steak night, oh so good😋 I ordered the porterhouse (with mushroom sauce) blue but as you can see, it was served rare - but still great😊 And I always consider this local pub as close to where I live because I’m referring to where we used to live on Lt Collins St just right across the street a stone’s throw away.

*I’m just updating this from 3 stars to 2 stars after we had a confirmed booking last night and they were not open. We missed the first quarter of the game finding a new venue. I went to Turf Bar to watch the Dees and Cats game on Thursday night and it was a lot quieter than expected! The venue was actually really noisy given there weren’t a lot of people in there and it was difficult to hear the TV even though it was on at a good volume. We found the crowd was quite aggressive (my friend included after a bad day) and one of the drunk/drugged up girls hit him across the back of the head to try and stir something up. She spent most of the rest of the game asleep straddling her boyfriend. There wasn’t one security guard that night, so that might be my improvement call out there. The food tasted delicious, especially the chicken burger! A $20 special for a burger and chips doesn’t seem like a special to me, but I wouldn’t have paid the original $28ish for it. I added an $8 side bowl of vegetables which had about 5 vegetables in the bowl. It was almost half the price of the meal and I was very disappointed with it. Beers were at a standard $14-$15 for a pint, but it was good of them to put a $10 special pint up there if you wanted to go cheaper. On the whole, it’s alright to go and watch sport there if you don’t mind a bit of a rougher crowd and an expensive feed.

Thank you to all the staff at the Turf Sports Bar I had a great day today for the playoff game 49ers v GB Packers. The private booth was awesome and the food and beers were great, I’ll definitely be going back. And my friends from America loved it as well. Thank you, Cheers, From Calvin who was in the Chester private room.
