Why it's worth checking out

Friends of Fire is a restaurant, pub and bar in Docklands, located at Stadium Square inside Marvel Stadium near Gate 3. Its food centres on three woodfire grills, with charcoal-grilled steaks and familiar pub classics alongside a drinks offering that includes 17 tap beers. The venue also promotes skip-the-line stadium access, making it a practical option before an event or game.

The space is divided into several distinct areas. The main bar is described as the liveliest part of the venue, while the patio provides a spot to take in the sun and stadium atmosphere. A back bar offers a quieter setting, and The Wine Room next door gives the precinct a more refined option. Together, those spaces make Friends of Fire suited to different kinds of visits, from a quick meal between meetings to drinks with a group before heading into Marvel Stadium.

The website highlights a $29 express lunch, Tuesday steak nights and Wednesday burger specials, giving regular visitors a few reasons to return beyond game days. It also promotes pre-game meals, after-work drinks and functions, so the venue is particularly geared towards Docklands workers, event-goers and groups looking for a central meeting point. Reservations are available, and the venue states that it opens on event days from midday until late, with non-event service listed from Tuesday to Friday.
