If your idea of a winning weekend involves frosty pints, stacked plates, and enough screens to make your lounge room telly feel inadequate, allow us to introduce your new MVP: The Sporting Globe x 4 Pines Surfers Paradise. Smack-bang on the corner of Cavill Ave and Surfers Paradise Boulevard, this mega sports bar isn’t just big on screens, it’s big on vibes, brews, and bites too.

First things first: the screens. Sixty-plus of them, to be exact. Yep, you could literally blink, sneeze, wander to the bar, and still not miss the action. Goals, tries, dunks, home runs, it’s all covered. And for those who like their sport extra interactive, the private booths come with their own Booth TV (think channel-hopping, web browsing, and even gaming while you wait for your next round). Honestly, the only thing missing is a ref’s whistle.

Speaking of rounds, let’s talk brews. The central bar is pouring cold pints like it’s going out of fashion, and the 4 Pines crew are brewing fresh beer right downstairs. Yes, you read that right, your schooner may have been born mere metres from where you’re sipping it. Pale Ale, anyone? If cocktails are more your lane, the espresso martini here is tipped to be a fan favourite (and will keep you cheering long after extra time).

Of course, all that cheering burns calories, cue the food menu. Think pub classics turned crowd-pleasers: the MVP Parma, saucy loaded wings, juicy stacked burgers, and fries that never stand a chance. Dessert fiends, we see you too, brownies, churros and sticky date pudding are waiting in the wings. Can’t choose? Do yourself a favour and order The Trifecta (because sometimes, choosing is overrated).

Now, let’s chat functions, because The Sporting Globe doesn’t just do casual pints and parmas, it does parties. With space for up to 1,000 people, a private function room, and a balcony made for post-beach sipping, it’s the Gold Coast’s answer to festive season fun. Whether it’s the annual Chrissy do with the work fam or a 300-strong corporate shindig, the combo of screens + brews + bites = guaranteed good times. Forget stuffy dining rooms, this is sport-meets-sparkle.

But wait, there’s more. Beyond the beers and burgers, The Sporting Globe is also kicking community goals. Over the past decade, the brand has donated more than $1 million to local Aussie sports clubs. Proof that their commitment to grassroots sport is as strong as their pint game.

So whether you’re rallying the crew for the footy finals, planning a Christmas knees-up, or just chasing that unbeatable trifecta of sport, beer, and sunshine, The Sporting Globe x 4 Pines Surfers is the spot. Open from 10am until late every single day, they’ve always got a cold one and a front-row view waiting for you.

Where: Cnr Cavill Avenue &, Surfers Paradise Blvd, Surfers Paradise
