If your ideal night out involves mates, harbour views and maybe a cheeky game of darts between rounds of drinks, King Street Wharf has just welcomed back an old favourite — and it's bigger and brighter than ever. The Sporting Globe has officially reopened its doors following a slick new renovation, bringing even more screens, games and good times to the waterfront precinct.

Now open seven days a week, the revamped venue now boasts more than 50 high-definition screens, two massive jumbotrons and two augmented reality Game On dart lanes with multiple game modes. It's all part of a full-venue refresh that blends classic pub energy with thoroughly modern amenities, including touchscreen TVs in the booths that ensure you don't miss a second of the action. Plus, the venue now boasts a late-night licence that'll see the action roll on until 3am on Friday and Saturday nights.

While you can head to The Sporting Globe to catch every second of the NRL, AFL, EPL and NBA (among other codes) throughout the week, the venue isn't exclusively geared towards sports fans. It's part of a growing number of after-dark venues popping up throughout Sydney that give you a space to do more than just sink beers — whether you're ducking in for post-work happy hour, settling in for a long Saturday session, or even looking for a buzzing spot to soak up those impressive harbour views.

With capacity for 700 punters and three separate bars across its two expansive levels, the space is primed for both big group hangs and casual drop-ins. So whether you're there to catch your team in action or just want to kick back with a beer in hand and a round of wings, you'll have plenty of room to spread out.

The Sporting Globe King Street Wharf is part of a growing national stable of venues that go big on sports and community, with the brand supporting more than 250 grassroots sports clubs Australia-wide. With this polished new fit-out, the venue is looking to claim the title of one of Sydney's top spots for laidback hangs, big game nights and everything in between.

"The Sporting Globe King Street Wharf has always been a fan favourite," says CEO of Signature Hospitality Group, James Sinclair. "We're thrilled to welcome Sydneysiders and visitors back to enjoy world-class sport in a world-class location."

The Sporting Globe King Street Wharf is now open at King Street Wharf, 22 The Promenade, Sydney. It's open 11am–10pm Sunday–Wednesday, 11–12am Thursday and 11–3am Friday–Saturday. For more info, head to the venue's website.
