Where to Watch the AFL Grand Final 2025: Best Pubs, Fan Atmosphere & Why Belushi’s is Your Winning Ticket

Every year the AFL Grand Final turns the streets of Melbourne into a cauldron of colour, noise and raw emotion. For footy fans in London, the action still pulses through every mark, goal and tackle—if you’ve got the right place, the right crew, and the right screens. This year, AFL Grand Final 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable deciders in recent memory. Defending champs, breakout teams, unsettled underdogs: the stakes are high. You deserve a venue that feels like the MCG, not just a bar with a TV. That’s where Belushi’s Bars come in.
