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.

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.

4. YAKINIKU Restart: Yakiniku grilled meat restaurant that's decorated with autographed rugby shirts!
![Photos provided by: YAKINIKU Restart](https://rimage.gnst.jp/livejapan.com/public/article/detail/a/20/00/a2000198/img/en/a2000198_parts_5d37ec3fe45b3.jpg?20221123182600&q=80)
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.
![Photos provided by: YAKINIKU Restart](https://rimage.gnst.jp/livejapan.com/public/article/detail/a/20/00/a2000198/img/en/a2000198_parts_5d37ec541c826.jpg?20221123182600&q=80)
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.
![Photos provided by: YAKINIKU Restart](https://rimage.gnst.jp/livejapan.com/public/article/detail/a/20/00/a2000198/img/en/a2000198_parts_5d37ec6a35808.jpg?20221123182600&q=80)
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.
