When Super Bowl LX kicks off on Monday, 9 February (February 8 US Time), there’s no better place to be in Brisbane than the Regatta Hotel. The iconic Toowong venue on Coronation Drive is pulling out all the stops for what’s become one of the year’s most anticipated sporting events, and they’re making sure locals have every reason to settle in for the spectacle.

The Regatta’s approach to Super Bowl LX goes well beyond simply switching on the telly. Screens throughout the riverside venue will be broadcasting the game live and loud, ensuring you won’t miss a single tackle, touchdown, or time-out. The multi-screen setup means groups of mates can spread out without sacrificing their view of the action, and the venue’s various spaces cater to different vibes—from those wanting to be in the thick of the atmosphere to punters preferring a slightly more relaxed setting.
What’s really setting the Regatta apart this year is their week-long celebration of American cuisine. Running from 1 February through to game day on the 9th, the kitchen is serving a lineup of stateside classics that goes well beyond standard pub fare.
The menu features generous portions designed for sharing—or not sharing, no judgement here. Foot-long baguette toasties, loaded nachos piled high, a full kilogram of wings for those with serious appetites, classic po’boy sandwiches, and the venue’s popular dawg basket round out the American-themed offerings.
Other Brisbane Venues Getting in on the Action
While Toowong claims the Regatta as its Super Bowl headquarters, several other Brisbane pubs are creating their own game day experiences for those based elsewhere in the city.
The Lord Alfred at Petrie Terrace is taking a competitive approach to their Super Bowl broadcast, with games and giveaways running alongside the on-field action. Their kitchen is preparing special menu items tailored for game day, including breakfast burritos for early arrivals, chicken and waffles for those wanting something substantial, and loaded dogs for easy eating whilst keeping eyes on the screen. The wall-to-wall coverage and chef specials create an atmosphere that’s as much about the shared experience as the game itself.
Over on Edward Street in the CBD, Port Office Hotel is offering two distinct packages for those who want their Super Bowl experience sorted in advance. The Game Day Package runs $55 per person and includes a curated selection of American-style food throughout the broadcast. For those wanting to make a proper session of it, there’s an optional beverage upgrade that extends for four hours—more than enough to cover the game and halftime show. The venue’s screens will be broadcasting every moment, and the package approach means you can lock in your spot and your feed in one booking.
In Fortitude Valley, Finn McCool’s is thinking bigger, transforming Brunswick Street Mall into an outdoor Super Bowl festival. Temporary bars will be set up alongside massive screens, creating a street party atmosphere that’s unique among Brisbane’s viewing options. The venue is offering both basic and premium all-inclusive packages starting from $109 per person, covering food, drinks, and entertainment. Games and giveaways will run throughout the broadcast, and the American-themed menu keeps the stateside vibe flowing.

Making the Most of Game Day
The Monday morning timing presents both a challenge and an opportunity. Kick-off at 10:40am means most venues will be opening their doors well before their usual hours. It’s become something of a tradition for fans to take the day off work, treating the Super Bowl LX as the cultural event it’s evolved into rather than just another sporting match.
With multiple venues across Brisbane gearing up for capacity crowds, anyone planning to attend should contact their chosen pub sooner rather than later. Package bookings at some venues are already filling up, and walk-ins on the day might find themselves watching from the footpath rather than from a comfortable seat with a clear view.
Whether you’re a die-hard NFL supporter who knows the difference between a safety and a field goal, or someone who just enjoys the spectacle and the excuse for American comfort food on a Monday morning, Toowong and Brisbane’s pubs have created options to suit every level of fandom.
