"Amusement Dining Bon Bon" is a 15-minute walk from JR Osaka Station and Osaka Metro's Umeda Station. To meet demands, they provide several different ways to enjoy sports.

Equipped with a 100-inch projector and two monitors, this 100-person-capacity party room is perfect for keeping up with your matches! There are also two private rooms, each equipped with a monitor. Seats at the bar are available for those who prefer to watch solo.

Get the whole experience with food and drink! “Amusement Dining BonBon” is equipped with fried food, side dishes for snacking, and an extensive array of meat cuisines, pastas, and pizzas for maximum viewing enjoyment. They’re even open until 7 a.m., so you can watch every game in its entirety throughout the night.

Sports Bar Saru Bancho is a five-minute walk from JR Kitashinchi Station. Nicknamed "SB×2 (Sub Two)", this rugby-fan-favorite restaurant is on the fourth floor. It is owned by Japan's former rugby player, Norihito Nagaoka. Here, you can watch the games with his candid and cheerful commentary.

Though it only has one large table and counter seats, its huge monitors surround you, making you feel like you're a part of the game. While they provide snacks, you can also use catering and delivery services or bring your own food. For drinks, they have sake, shochu liquor, Western liquor, and a wide selection of other drinks. Ride the waves of the owner's love of rugby while you cheer on your team.

BAR Grand Master is a ten-minute eastward walk from JR Osaka Station and a five-minute walk from Umeda Station via the Midosuji Line on the subway. A sign in Higashidori Daisan Shotengai's arcade signals the way to the chic Osaka bar in the basement. Opened in May of 2018, this bar is bustling due to its inviting appearance and soccer broadcasts.

This moderately-sized bar can fit 20 people at its counter and tables. With two large monitors, it provides a space that makes it easy to watch your games, be it soccer, rugby, tennis, or something else. It even has menus in English, Chinese, and Korean.

It's got a collection of binge-worthy dishes like French fries, pizza, and pasta, and boasts a large variety of drinks, including cocktails whipped up by the bartender. You can even tell the bartender what you like and see what cocktail they make for you!

Osaka bars are usually the first thing to come to mind when thinking of places where you can eat and watch sports matches.

That being said, we recommend Restart, a yakiniku grilled meat restaurant. A short walk from both JR and Osaka Metro’s Nishi-Umeda Station, this restaurant’s wall is decorated with autographed rugby shirts and is a hit amongst rugby fans and players alike.

It boasts a large variety of drinks including beer, wine, chuhai, shochu liquor, and even cocktails. With five different TVs, you're guaranteed to be able to watch any popular sports match at this sports bar-esque restaurant.

It gets crowded during rugby matches (especially if Japan is playing), so they even have a special menu for just such an occasion. Granted, it may not be easy to watch the game while grilling your meat, but this restaurant will make you crave more with its delectable scents.

It’s a quick five-minute walk from Osaka Metro’s Umeda Station via the Midosuji Line, as well as from Hankyu’s Umeda Station. Pumpkin Rocks is set up on the basement floor of the Plaza Umeda Building. Usually only open for reservations, they open as a sports bar whenever there’s a major sporting event.

This spacious, fancy space is just like a party room and is the perfect sports viewing spot! With a projector, a 130-inch screen, and five 32-inch monitors, this room gives you a 360-degree view of your event for maximum enjoyment.

Both food and drinks are served to match the style of the match! As they may already have reservations, please be sure to contact them before visiting.
