The room is built around the screens.

A long-running expat sports bar on Tôn Thất Thiệp, all brick, wood tables, and terracotta tile, where the room is built around the screens — flat-screens and a projector showing live sport around the clock, from football and rugby to AFL, cricket, golf, and motorsport.

The room

A long single room off an open shopfront on Tôn Thất Thiệp. Bar counter on one side — blue LED under-bar lighting, back bar of bottles, beer taps — wood tables and purple stools across terracotta tile, warm cream walls, one brick feature wall with framed jerseys.

The screens

Many large flat-screen TVs and a projector screen, showing live sport 24/7 — as many live sports at once as there are TVs. The owner’s range: AFL, NRL, rugby, cricket, football, golf, motorsport, horse racing, UFC, tennis — and anything else you can think of.

The sign

The mark is a red neon script sign reading "Phatty's" with a "SPORTSBAR N' GRILL" banner beneath, over the shopfront. Table menus and posters carry the same script and red.
