Place to watch MotoGP in Melbourne

Well I've just arrived home very disgruntled! After checking with the pub at Oakleigh that they could show the MotoGP, halfway through lap 6 of 22 the TV was changed to AFL. After a few words with the bar tender I quickly ran around like a mad man trying to find a place close by that would be showing the race, to no avail.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a bike-friendly pub in the Oakleigh area that I can watch the race, the whole way through. I usually dont mind the hour or so delay of channel 10 but for races like China the delay is just too much.

Cheers, Sean.

Apparently "Mario's" has it on...

I've heard it's quite the swanky joint too...

Yep, they always have it on!!

Slate floors, you can watch it from the inside balcony if you want and FREE beer during the racing.

If you can be bothered popping down to Docklands there's a bunch of us who often get together.

Motoheaven in Brighton has it on a big screen every race. He show's the whole lot, 125's, 250's and GP. Has a sausage sizzle most times, BYO drinks & chair. I go every time, it's a good environment. All bikers, talking bikes, surrounded by bikes.
