The State of Origin decider is almost here, and whether you're one of the lucky fans heading to The Cauldron, aka Suncorp Stadium, or watching from the sidelines after missing out on tickets, South Bank has your game-day plans sorted.

‍

From pre-match feeds and ice-cold beers to venues screening every tackle, try and tense referee call live and loud, these are the spots to lock in before kick-off on Wednesday 8 July.

‍

Tippler's Tap
If burgers, wings and ice-cold beer are your game-day essentials, make a beeline for Tippler's Tap. The self-serve beer taps mean less time waiting at the bar and more time soaking up the atmosphere, while the menu is stacked with crowd-pleasing favourites. Their 1kg wet wings for $35 every Wednesday make this a particularly strong choice for Origin night, whether you're stopping by before heading to the stadium or settling in to watch all the action on the big screens. No booking required for groups under 10!

‍

Pig 'N' Whistle South Bank
For a classic Origin atmosphere, Pig 'N' Whistle South Bank is hard to beat. Expect cold pints, big screens and hearty pub fare that will keep you going well beyond full-time. Origin specials include a 1kg wings and beer paddle combo for $38, pizza and a pint for $38, or a 300g rump steak paired with a pint for $50. Heading to Suncorp? This is the perfect place to fuel up beforehand. Didn't score tickets? Settle in and catch every moment of the decider live and loud. Book here.

Barbossa Bar & Bottle Shop
For those wanting to ease into the evening, Barbossa offers a more laid-back game-day experience. Grab a table outdoors and work your way through favourites like the pulled pork burger, chicken schnitzel with pineapple slaw or tender pork ribs before kick-off. If you're not heading to Suncorp, stick around and catch the game live while enjoying a drink from their impressive range of house-aged rums. Book a table here.

‍

South Bank Beer Garden
South Bank Beer Garden is made for Origin gatherings. Their Queenslander Pizza, topped with chorizo, fresh chilli, onion and hot honey, pairs perfectly with a cold XXXX Gold or XXXX Ginger Beer as part of their $30 meal deal. Whether you're meeting friends before making the trip to The Cauldron or looking for a lively venue to watch the decider unfold, the spacious deck and multiple screens make this one of South Bank's top spots for game night. Book here.
