Afl Finals & A Steak Sandwich?

[davidgtr]

Well the AFL Aussie Rules finals are starting this weekend, so has anyone got any tips for the best or new places to go watch the games & maybe have an ice cold beer & a steak sandwich?

[THAIJAMES]

Downunder just opened. Its on Nemanhemin road. Giant Screen, steak sandwiches, Aussie food etc. Right next to Happy Hut, on the east side of the road half way down Nimanheimin.

Not new but one of the oldest bars in town, The Pub used to show it and probably still does.

The Downunder sounds interesting & right next to "happy hut".

Anyone been to the Downunder yet - any reports?

Must be Aussie management with a name like that, or got a strong Aussie connection.

Yes - the Down Under is the place to go this evening. Big screen, Ice cold beer, Dinky-di Australian steak and tucker to-gether with a good mob of expats. See you there.

Do they show NRL games also?

Yeah they've got all the sports from off ABC TV on a huge screen.

Hey Maejo, try the Bridge Hotel just down the road from the MCG.......be there.

For me there are only 2 choices.

1. The UN Irish Pub

or

2. The Downunder

The UN Irish Pub is ok & long established, but they sometimes need to switch TV Channels to other sporting events, or you have to move TV rooms. All a bit rough right in the middle of your fave couch potato event eh?

The Downunder is new & fresh, with Aussie beers & is run by a couple of hard core Aussie Rules fans, so no chance of interruptions and the only disturbances are barbs & wind ups from rival supporters. Sounds like the right place to go for the AFL final to me.

What time is it on (I mean the game)

Used to live in the place, and the way things are going, I just might be there before you

[Maejo Man]

What time is it on (I mean the game)

Late morning for the bounce up, probably around ten to eleven o'clock. I remember one year Bob opened Spotlight up for us, and we had about three dozen there. Plenty of "Four 'n Twenties"

and Fosters

I think the Downunder will be the go

Edit:- I really think we had better warn them!!!

If Bob were still there we'd have had sum gurls on hand too eh but !!

[Tiger12]

Great Hamburgers and Fish and Chips too.

Crownies only 120 Baht as well.

Sounds like the place to watch the footy to me

[Tiger12]

The AFL grand final will be shown live at the DownUnder

Crownies and VB on sale.

Game starts 10.30.

[davidgtr]

I know the beeer will be cold & will take you up on the fish & chips again, but have you got any good newspapers to wrap up the fish 'n chips?

C'arn the West Coast Eagles...

It will have to be the Bangkok Post i'm afraid. There is not enough paper in the "local rag" to wrap a parcel of fish and chips

Up the "eagles" go, go, go
