🏉 AFL and NRL Grand Finals Live at The Highlander Pub Rome 🇦🇺

Looking for the best place in Rome to watch the AFL & NRL Grand Finals? Well... you've found it.

The Highlander Pub has been showing both Grand Final's every year for years, and it's become such a tradition that we've even been featured on Australian TV! 📺🇦🇺

Here's the details

🏆 AFL Grand Final

📅 Saturday 26th September

⏰ Kick-off: 6:30am

Yes, you read that right... we'll be open from 6:10am! ☕🍻

Fremantle Dockers v Brisbane Lions

🏉🇦🇺 AFL GRAND FINAL – IT’S GOING TO BE A BIG ONE!

We’ve been absolutely SWAMPED with messages about the AFL Grand Final — apparently a few Aussies in Rome fancy watching it! 😂

We’ll squeeze in as many of you as we safely can, but once we’re full, we’re FULL — no amount of begging, bribery or promises to stand on one leg will create extra space! 😅

🌅 Coming down early to try your luck? Remember, it’s 6AM and our neighbours are still dreaming peacefully while you’re already thinking about footy and beer. 🍻😂

🤫 PLEASE KEEP IT QUIET OUTSIDE.

Anyone shouting, chanting or generally bringing Grand Final energy to the street at 6AM will NOT be permitted inside, we do not want to upset the sleeping neighbours.

Save the noise for when you’re through the doors! 🏉🍻

Quiet outside. Crazy inside. Deal? 🤝🇦🇺



.......................

(Reserved seating now sold out!! The pub will seat booked guests first and then everyone else until the pub is at capacity!)

Booked guests will be seated before we open the doors to everyone else, giving you the best chance to settle in before the action starts. Once the doors open, any remaining space is first come, first served for those hoping to grab the last seats or a great standing spot.

This is one of our busiest sporting events of the year, so booking is highly recommended.
