Bleachers

Sports bar located just on the main street in Civic. Large serving sizes and visually appealing however lackluster flavour, ingredients clearly not fresh and possibly thawed from frozen. We had the 1/2 rack and chicken Parmi. The rack was quite tough, almost like jerky. Sauce was tasty but could have been applied more. The parmi unfortunately had no flavour at all. A good parmi needs a great napoli sauce, this one was bland and tasted like plain chicken with pizza base on top. The one saving grace were the jalapeno poppers. Nest ones in Canberra by far. If we were to visit again, would only be for a drink and poppers.

Good sports bar with heaps of screens for sports, good range of beers on tap (about a dozen or more), and wings are really tender and delicious. There other food, what I had anyway, was really good too. Definitely a good place to go for food or beer or sports, or all of the above. Staff are really welcoming and helpful.

As an actual sports bar this place is constantly disappointing. Staff seem to have little awareness sometimes of what sports are actually showing and don’t seem to know how to change/find channels half the time. No Paramount+ makes this place absolutely pointless for watching A-League. Good for beers and watching whatever sport they have on the big screen - cricket, footy etc.

So. I've actually been here quite a few times, but I've never actually eaten here. So today we were walking by and needed a quick bite. Time to check it out. We ducked in - it was busy - but not super busy. Quite a few people sitting down but enough space to grab a table. We ordered at the bar and took out table. All pretty easy. It was basically burgers all round except for one half a rack of ribs. Couple of chicken and i had the briskett. Needless to say, in a sports bar, we may have snuck in a quick beer too. The brisket bruger was tasty. Only gripe was there was some gristle that made it a bit fiddly to eat, but the meat qas good and sauce was tasty. Boys had good things to say about their chicken burgers. Ribs guy was also happy - the ribs were tender and suitably bbq sauce slathered. Everyone had their side of chunky chips too. All told, good experience and will be back

Pros: amazing screens for sport, friendly staff, wide selection of beers Cons: Beers are EXPENSIVE. E.g. Asahi Black schooner was $14, while a couple of doors up at Edo Tori (Japanese restaurant) same beer is $11. I understand costs are rising, but that's almost 30% more. Even a VB schooner was $10 - not sure I've seen one for that price even in Sydney eastern suburbs. (May 2022). But still, I'd go back for sport and beer session.
