Get Directions Ask Our TeamWhat Varsity Bar Is
Varsity Bar holds 94 Aberdeen Street in Northbridge, the sports flagship of a Perth burger group that now runs venues across the metro area. The formula is fixed: American food, cold taps, and more screens than wall.
The Urban List Perth files it under the city's best sports bars. Fanzo lists it as a Perth fixture for live AFL, UFC, and English football.
Nobody comes for quiet. That is the point.
Reading the Room
One long room of booths, high tables, and neon, with the bar running deep and screens angled so no seat misses a game.
Yelp photographers keep shooting the same thing: burgers in baskets under a wall of sport. That is an accurate census of the room.

Inside Varsity Bar
Who Shows Up, and When
University crowds and Northbridgedwellers early in the week, full game day rooms on weekends.
Quiz night pulls a steady local turnout midweek, per The Happiest Hour's listing.
Big UFC cards fill the room before noon.
What Regulars Say
- The Urban List Perth keeps Varsity on its Perth sports bar shortlist for the screen count alone.
- Yelp reviewers (42 on file) come back to the burgers; the recurring tip is to time a visit to the nightly specials.
- Fanzo users flag it as a reliable Northbridge room for English football kickoffs late at night.
- Sitchu Perth ranks it among the city's best sports bars for groups.
Who It Is For
- Game day groups who want screens, jugs, and wings without a dress code.
- Burger people. The kitchen is a burger kitchen that happens to serve a sports bar.
- Avoid if you want a quiet pint and conversation. The volume tracks the scoreboard.
