The Sporting Globe Bar & Grill

The Sporting Globe brings together some of life’s best joys; Wings, Beer and Sport! Our venues offer modern Australian pub fare with an American twist, multiple beers on tap and the ultimate state-of-the-art sports fit out! The Sporting Globe is the ultimate place to eat, drink and catch a game.

Born in 2010 when two best mates, inspired by their time travelling the United States and love of all things sports opened their first Sporting Globe Bar & Grill in Geelong, Victoria. Since that time the business has grown to 15 venues nationally with plans to keep expanding, cementing our position as Australia's no1 Sports Bar & Grill!

Recognised as a leader in venue sporting entertainment by the Victorian Australian Hotels Association and Fox Sports, The Sporting Globe has been twice voted as ‘Best Sporting Entertainment Venue’.

In 2016 The Sporting Globe expanded its hospitality network purchasing TGI Fridays Australia and its 13 venues. The business now operates under Signature Hospitality Group and has reinvigorated and innovated with the iconic international brand developing a world first menu and fit-out!
