That's one of the things I miss most about Oz/the west. Very few 'proper' sports bars with a big -ideally outdoors- tv screen, TV's, decent pub food etc outside of Tokyo. It's all izakaya (which I also love), cafes/bars. Will be interesting to see how they cater to rwc fans.
Bit cliche imo.

And they'll do just fine, because they've done their homework. Many other businesses will lose out, which is a shame. They only have to offer a temporary accomodation (in terms of opening/closing and clientele) it's not like it's going to be forever.
Even if you're not a fan of The Hub chain, you've got to admire their business sense, regarding this major sporting event.

I call Fukuoka home ( Well..second home) and there are several sports bars around town that are dedicated to keeping the punters oiled and well fed, Fish and Chips, pies and general pub grub, all located within walking distance of each other. Surely the Rugby village will be the kicking off point for getting on the waste bro!
