When Super Bowl LX kicks off on Monday, 9 February (Feb 8 US time), Fortitude Valley will be home to one of Brisbane’s most ambitious viewing events. Finn McCool’s is pulling out all the stops, transforming Brunswick Street Mall into an outdoor Super Bowl festival that’s set to redefine how Brisbane watches the big game.

This isn’t your typical pub sports broadcast. Finn McCool’s is taking the action outside, with temporary bars popping up alongside massive screens throughout the mall. The street party atmosphere sets this event apart from traditional indoor venues, creating a festival vibe that’s unique among Brisbane’s Super Bowl offerings. It’s the kind of setup that turns casual viewers into part of something bigger—a proper American-style tailgate party, Valley edition.
The venue is offering both basic and premium all-inclusive packages starting from $109 per person, with everything sorted in one booking—food, drinks, and entertainment throughout the broadcast. Games and giveaways will run alongside the on-field action, keeping the energy high during breaks in play. The American-themed menu keeps the stateside vibe flowing, ensuring you won’t be reaching for a meat pie when you’re in the mood for proper game day fare.
For those who’ve been to Finn McCool’s for major sporting events before, the venue’s reputation for creating an atmosphere speaks for itself. The outdoor setup takes that experience and amplifies it, giving punters room to move, multiple viewing angles, and the kind of open-air environment that turns a Monday morning sports broadcast into a genuine event. Whether you’re a die-hard NFL supporter or just someone who enjoys the spectacle and the excuse for a Monday session, the Brunswick Street setup has been designed to accommodate everyone.
Other Brisbane Venues Worth Considering
While Fortitude Valley claims Finn McCool’s as the Super Bowl destination, several other Brisbane pubs are creating their own game day experiences for those based elsewhere in the city.
Out in Toowong, Regatta Hotel on Coronation Drive is running a week-long celebration of American cuisine from 1-9 February. The riverside venue will broadcast the game across multiple screens, with a dedicated menu featuring foot-long baguette toasties, loaded nachos, a full kilogram of wings, classic po’boy sandwiches, and their popular dawg basket. The sprawling venue offers plenty of viewing areas for those who prefer a more traditional pub setting.
The Lord Alfred at Petrie Terrace is taking a competitive approach with games and giveaways running throughout the broadcast. Their kitchen has prepared special game day items including breakfast burritos, chicken and waffles, and loaded dogs. The wall-to-wall coverage and chef specials create an atmosphere focused on both the food and the sport.
In the CBD, Port Office Hotel on Edward Street has organised two package options for advance bookings. The Game Day Package runs $55 per person with curated American-style food, whilst an optional four-hour beverage upgrade is available for those wanting to make a proper session of it. Screens throughout the venue will broadcast every moment of the action.
Planning Your Game Day
With venues across Brisbane, and particularly Finn McCool’s street party setup gearing up for the big day, anyone planning to attend should contact their chosen venue sooner rather than later. Package bookings are available, and advance booking is recommended to secure your spot.
The beauty of Finn McCool’s outdoor approach is that it scales to accommodate the crowd whilst maintaining the festival atmosphere. Combined with the all-inclusive packages that sort your food, drinks, and entertainment in advance, it’s designed to be the kind of event where you can just show up and enjoy without worrying about the logistics.
