Barmy Army Pre-Ashes Drinks at Invergordon Bar – Boxing Day Test Melbourne 2025 – 21st December – 31st December

The Barmy Army is rolling into Melbourne, and Invergordon Bar is your HQ from 20–31 December as fans make the trip over after the Adelaide Test wraps up on the 20th. Whether you’re warming up for the Boxing Day Test or settling in for a week of cricket, banter, and beers — this is your spot.

We’re pouring all the favourites:
Pints of Tennent’s Lager, McEwans Export, Guinness, Kilkenny, Invergordon Lager, Invergordon Mid-Strength, Magners, Heineken — plus wine (Prosecco, Sav Blanc, Moscato, Rosé, Shiraz), spirits, and mixers. No cocktails. No nonsense. Just a proper atmosphere with a strong expat crowd.

Getting to and from the MCG is easy — the #70 tram leaves right from our front door and drops you directly at the ground. Pre-game drinks couldn’t be simpler.

And when the final ball’s bowled?
Ride the #70 tram back to the Docklands and finish the day with us. We’re the perfect end-of-the-line stop for post-game pints, laughs, and match recap chaos. It’s well worth the trip back — proper British bar vibes, a crowd that “gets it,” and cold pints waiting for you.

Whether you’re here for one day or the full stretch of the Ashes, Invergordon Bar is your home away from home this December. Bring your mates, bring the noise, and get stuck into the Boxing Day Test the right way.
