Bourbon St. Sports Bar (Shamwok)

Bourbon St. Sports Bar (The Shamwok) brings a lively, laid-back energy to Cairns City Centre, pairing the buzz of a sports bar with the kind of food everyone secretly craves.

It's the sort of spot where comfort is king, flavours are bold, and the welcome is as warm as the tropics. So grab a seat, follow the delicious aroma, and tuck into food with character.

On the menu, Irish-inspired Chinese classics take centre stage, bringing together the best of both worlds. Crowd-pleasers include loaded boxes, four-in-ones, and the cult-favourite spice bag - packed with hot chips, crispy chicken and stir-fried veg. For a nostalgic nod done right, the Irish chicken curry served with egg fried rice is an easy winner.

Chips get star treatment too, from salt and chilli to cheesy gravy, while vegan spring rolls and prawn crackers round out the snackable side of things. A ladle of curry sauce or a swipe of sweet chilli seals the deal.

Time to make it a chip off the old block!
