There’s watching the race on a big screen and then there’s watching it at Sports Bar at The Star. This Melbourne Cup, pull up a seat and enjoy all of the Flemington action on the venue’s ridiculously big 10.5 metre television screen whilst munching on chicken wings smothered in your choice of sauce, salt-and-pepper calamari, onion rings and fries. Wash it down with a bottle of Chandon and a cheeky $200 bar tab to keep you going.

The Sports Bar’s VIP booth packages have completely sold out but there are still a few table packages available, which can seat six guests for $450 per table. For bookings call 07 5592 8757 or email [email protected].
