AFL Grand Final at Sussex Hotel Walkerville

Grand Final Saturday calls for a cold drink, good pub food and a great spot to catch every minute of the action.

We’ll have the game live and loud in the Public Bar and Courtyard, from the pre-game entertainment and first bounce right through to the final siren.
