QUEEN’S Wharf will include a mega sports bar delivering the ultimate big event atmosphere when the transformational $3.6 billion project opens in late 2022.
The QWB Sports Bar will be the city’s premier venue to celebrate the most significant showdowns from around the globe and the best place to witness sporting history outside of a seat in the stands, The Star Entertainment Group boss Matt Bekier said.

As well as weekly AFL, NRL and English Premier League soccer, the Sports Bar will have capacity to be themed for major events including the Super Bowl, FIFA World Cups, global showdowns in T20, ODI and Test cricket, Rugby World Cups and tennis’ major championships.
“Sport is unquestionably part of the Queensland DNA,” Mr Bekier said.
“We want to celebrate that. The 24/7 Sports Bar at The Star Sydney has a 34 sqm LED screen as its centrepiece. There are 50 LCD TVs in the area, a VIP section and a sound system that gives you a sense of being at the stadium.
“We have had around 1500 people generating a level of excitement that you wouldn’t find anywhere else in Sydney.
“Our plans are just as bold for Queen’s Wharf. If you’re a sports fan in Brisbane and there’s an event being broadcast that you can’t attend in person, then the QWB Sports Bar will be where you want to be.”
