Goldie’s Tavern

South Brisbane

Updated: Aug 11, 2026

Goldie's Tavern is bringing a fresh new game-day experience to South Brisbane, combining the excitement of live sport with the welcoming feel of your favourite local pub.

Perfectly positioned on the corner of Melbourne and Merivale Streets, opposite the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, the newly reimagined venue has transformed a familiar West End pub site into a vibrant sports destination where every match is shown live and loud.

Interior

Purpose-built for sports lovers, the venue boasts multiple big screens, dedicated viewing zones and pool tables, making it the ideal place to settle in for everything from State of Origin and AFL clashes to international sporting events and local derbies. The spacious layout also includes cosy booths, a relaxed beer garden and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Pool table

The menu leans into classic pub favourites with a playful game-day twist. Kick things off with share plates like Philly Cheesesteak Wontons, Loaded Nachos, Lasagne Bites or South Melbourne Dimmies before diving into hearty mains including Beef & Guinness Pie, Sticky Plum Pork Ribs, Chicken Parmy, Fish & Chips, premium steaks and a Cajun Crab Cake Sando.

Of course, no neighbourhood pub is complete without a packed weekly lineup. Goldie's serves up free pool every Sunday and Monday, Sports Trivia and $25 Parmy Night on Tuesdays, Steak Night from $26 on Wednesdays, plus live acoustic music Thursday to Saturday afternoons and DJs every Friday and Saturday night.

Its central South Brisbane location also makes it an ideal meeting place before concerts, conventions and cultural events, whether you're planning after-work drinks, a team dinner or a casual weekend catch-up.

People drinking

Blending modern sports bar energy with the relaxed charm of a classic local, Goldie's Tavern is set to become a go-to destination for live sport, great food, cold beers and good company.
