Kickoff is in twenty minutes and your living room TV suddenly feels too small for the occasion. Singapore has a strong lineup of Irish, British and Aussie-style sports bars built around exactly that moment, screens up, pints flowing, a crowd that actually cares about the match. Muddy Murphy's Irish Pub leads with 1,250 reviews at 4.4 stars, and between them these venues have racked up nearly 6,000 reviews from people who showed up for a game.

Short answer: Muddy Murphy's Irish Pub and Hero's share the top rating at 4.4, with Muddy Murphy's carrying the bigger review base at 1,250 against Hero's 1,130. Boomarang Bistro & Bar pulls in the most reviews of any bar here, over 1,650, but its 4.0 rating is the lowest of the five. Expect to pay roughly $20 to $50 a person for food and drinks across these venues, based on real reviewer price tags.

Muddy Murphy's Irish Pub

4.41,250 Google reviews

Muddy Murphy's is an Irish pub on Orchard Road at Claymore Connect, pouring Guinness alongside a British and Irish pub menu that runs from a Sunday roast three-course set to sausage rolls. Live bands play regularly, and the pub leans into a traditional Irish theme with pub food and match-day energy rather than a dedicated sports-bar fit-out.

What people praise

  • Guinness consistently rated as well-poured and a genuine draw on its own
  • Three-course Sunday roast set praised for value at $35
  • Friendly staff repeatedly named and thanked in reviews
  • Reminds several reviewers of pubs in London or Dublin

Worth knowing

  • A live band on a loud night can drown out conversation, and service can slip on timing; ask for a table away from the stage if you want to actually talk

Our take: The best five-star share of the group along with Hero's, and the biggest review base of the traditional Irish pubs here. A safe pick if you want pub classics with your match.

#2🕑 Open 6 days/wk

Hero's

4.41,130 Google reviews

Hero's sits on Circular Road near Boat Quay, mixing live bands six nights a week with live sports screenings and elevated VIP booths that its own site says give the best view of the biggest games. The kitchen runs a pub-grub menu, burgers, kebabs, pizzas and platters, and the venue stretches into late-night territory on weekends.

What people praise

  • Live bands rated highly, from rock classics to more chilled acoustic sets
  • VIP booths on a raised platform give a genuinely good sightline for games
  • Staff, including door and bar staff, called out by name as welcoming
  • Runs until the early hours on Fridays and Saturdays, later than most on this list

Worth knowing

  • Daytime crowds can be thin and the lunch menu portions run smaller than the evening offering

Our take: Ties Muddy Murphy's on rating with a slightly smaller but still substantial review base, and it's the pick if you want the bar to double as a late-night venue, not just a match-day stop.

The Penny Black logo
#3🕑 Open 7 days

The Penny Black

4.21,236 Google reviews

The Penny Black is a British-themed pub on Boat Quay, built around Victorian London decor, a genuine red post box, and river-front al fresco seating. The kitchen serves traditional British food, fish and chips, pies, mushy peas, and the pub screens sporting events, including EPL matches, across both floors.

What people praise

  • Guinness and fish and chips called out as reliably good across many visits
  • Riverside al fresco seating rated highly for atmosphere day and night
  • Good product knowledge from staff who can talk through the menu
  • EPL screenings specifically praised for creating a lively match-day feel

Worth knowing

  • Prices sit at a premium for the format, roughly $60 to $70 a person for a full meal, and service can thin out on quieter nights

#4🕑 Open 7 days

Boomarang Bistro & Bar

4.01,672 Google reviews

Boomarang is an Australian-themed bistro and bar on Robertson Quay that's been running for close to two decades, built around long hours, 6am to 3am daily, a dog-friendly policy, and a menu big enough to cover breakfast through late-night drinks. Multiple screens carry live sport, and the space includes a private room for group bookings.

What people praise

  • Open nearly around the clock, one of the few venues on this list still serving at 2am
  • Fish and chips and chicken parmy both called out as generous, fresh portions
  • Dog-friendly, a genuine differentiator for anyone bringing a pet along
  • Distinctive architecture that reviewers say photographs well at night

Worth knowing

  • Its rating sits lower than the rest of this list, and a larger share of reviewers land in the 3-star range than at any other venue here

Our take: Boomarang pulls in the most reviews of any bar on this page, over 1,650, but its 4.0 rating and 41% five-star share are the lowest of the five, so it ranks fourth on quality even with the biggest crowd. Great for hours and sport variety; go in with tempered expectations on food consistency.

ARFC Woodleigh

4.4657 Google reviews

ARFC Woodleigh is a football-themed restaurant and bar inside the PUB Recreation Club in Woodleigh, built specifically around live match screenings, EPL games in particular, with multiple screens and a dimmed-light setup for game nights. It comes with free on-site parking, a rarity reviewers flag repeatedly.

What people praise

  • Free parking called out again and again as a genuine rarity for Singapore
  • Multiple simultaneous match screenings on big screens
  • Food menu wider than expected, from mala pasta to nachos and wings
  • Quiet enough for a normal lunch outside of match hours

Worth knowing

  • Snack options can thin out late in big games, and it sits further from the city centre than the other four picks, so factor in travel time

Watch: 5 Best Sports Bars in Singapore (2026)

How we scored these sports bars

Rating is the live Google average for each venue. Review volume counts how many customers actually rated them, weighed against similar venues nearby. Confidence blends rating and volume, so a strong score built on over a thousand reviews counts for more than the same score on a handful. Recency checks whether people are still visiting and reviewing this year. No bar can pay us to move these numbers.

How much does a night at a Singapore sports bar cost? (2026)

Price scales with how much you eat and drink, and whether you’re there for a quick pint or a full match-day meal. Most of these venues don’t publish a set menu price online, so the ranges below come straight from what reviewers reported paying.

JobTypical price
Casual drinks and a snack$20 - $30
Full meal with drinks$30 - $50
Premium night out$60 - $100+

Ranges reflect real ‘price per person’ figures reported in Google reviews for these venues, verified July 2026.

Sports bars near you in Singapore

Our picks spread across Orchard Road, Boat Quay, Robertson Quay and Woodleigh, so there’s a genuine option whether you’re in the city centre or further out near the Circle Line. If you’re searching for a sports bar near me in Clarke Quay or the Boat Quay stretch, three of our five picks are a short walk apart.

What to ask before you head to a sports bar

  • Do you take reservations for big match nights, and is there a minimum spend?
  • Which leagues and competitions do you show live?
  • Is outdoor or riverside seating available, and does it get sport coverage too?
  • Can you fit a large group without a booking?
  • Is there a dedicated screening room, or is sport just on background TVs?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these sports bars?

We compared bars and pubs across Singapore known for screening live sport, then ranked the shortlist by rating, review volume and recency.

How often is this updated?

We refreshed this page in July 2026 and recheck the data periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Do I need to book ahead for a big match?

For major games, yes. Reviewers specifically mention booking ahead at ARFC Woodleigh and reservations being recommended at Hero’s during busy periods.

Which of these is best for a large group?

Boomarang and Hero’s both have private or bookable spaces for groups, and ARFC Woodleigh’s free parking makes it easier if part of the group is driving.

The bottom line

Muddy Murphy’s is the safe default if you just want a proper pub with the game on. If you’re planning around one big match, book ahead, ARFC Woodleigh and Hero’s both show up in reviews for reservations mattering on the busiest nights.
