Game on.
The World Cup is here, and Republic Tavern is showing every game live across the venue.
Whether it’s an early kick-off, a blockbuster group stage clash, or the business end of the tournament, we’ll have the screens on and the atmosphere ready. Settle in with mates, grab a drink, order a feed and watch the world’s biggest football tournament live at Republic Tavern.
Located at Mantra Melbourne Epping, Republic Tavern is the home of World Cup football in Melbourne’s north — with live sport, pub classics, local beer, and plenty of space to back your team.
Opening times may vary for early morning fixtures, with selected games including early openings and breakfast options through Trader Restaurant.
Check the full game schedule and book your table for upcoming World Cup matches.
We're the Republic Tavern
Standing proudly in the North –
with a heart of amber and a spirit of revolution.
Come in. Find yourself in a small bar atmosphere despite the bigger space.
Welcoming and warm, luxe and lived in. It’s a good place to gather. We’re a brewery ourselves, with our Beer Republic small batch brews on tap. But we strongly believe that craft beer is more than just what you brew – it’s about creating a community to share with.
That’s why we share the stage with a range of local craft beer and cider makers too – we’ve got them on tap to help ‘cheers’ to the brewing community and its success.
So come for a drink. A meal. A conversation. Or a gathering. This is a revolution in the North. And it’s pouring now.

Roast + Relax
EVERY SUNDAY
Sundays are made for slowing down, settling in, and letting someone else do the cooking. We’re serving up hearty roast specials with all the good gear — yorkshire pudding, seasonal veg, rich gravy, and proper portions that hit the spot. Pair it with a fresh Beer Republic brew, a glass of wine or soft drink for $35, or just the satisfaction of not washing dishes tonight.

Sweet As
EVERY WEDNESDAY
Because getting through Wednesday deserves a reward.
Sweet As Wednesday is all about finishing strong with dessert specials, and a little sugar hit to get you over the hump.
A little sweet never hurt anybody. Probably.

Fresh, loud, and best shared with mates.
