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.
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.
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.
Aberdeen Street sits three blocks north of Perth train station; walk up William Street and turn left.
The Northbridge strip surrounds it, so the night does not end at full time. Our Perth sports bar guide maps the alternatives.
