What is Australian Rules Football?
Australian Rules Football is Australia's national game. Known as "footy," it combines the best of soccer, rugby, and basketball — fast, high-flying, and physical. Marks get taken above the pack, tackles land hard, and the ball barely stops moving for two hours straight. Even a neutral fan gets pulled in. Check out this "beginner's guide" to the sport, or head to AFL.com.au for highlights.
Here's 5 Reasons Why You Should Come
It's Australia's Super Bowl. One night, one game, the whole country stops. This is the pinnacle sporting event of the AFL calendar and you get to watch it unfold live with a room full of people who care about it as much as Toronto loves its Blue Jays!
The prizes are genuinely good. We're not talking raffle-table junk. Past giveaways have included a scenic flight around Toronto, hotel and weekend-away vouchers, tickets for two to Australia, Raptors 905 tickets, golf packages, and — obviously — meat pies. Buy a ticket, you might walk out with more than a hangover!
Meet the club! Come learn the game from the people who play it. We'll show you how to handball, mark a catch, and bounce an oval ball without looking ridiculous. Keen to actually play footy in Toronto? We'll get you signed up for the 2027 season!
Wear your colours. Scarf, beanie, jersey, cap — footy nights are one of the few excuses left to dress like a fan and mean it. Bring your team's kit and rep it loud.
The banter is the whole point. This is 200+ Torontonians, expats, sports fans, and people who just wanted a good Friday night, all packed into one pub. You'll leave with new mates, a few new footy opinions, and probably a bet you shouldn't have made.
