Arsenal Pubs in Melbourne

3 fan-verified Gooner Pubs

A 3pm London kickoff is 2am in Melbourne. That’s the deal. Melbourne’s Gooners set alarms at ungodly hours, drag themselves to a pub in the dark, and watch Arsenal with the kind of dedication that would make Arsene proud. The scene here is well-established and growing.
