Heading to the Aer Lingus College Football Classic? Start Your Day at Molloy’s Pub
Dublin is gearing up for one of the biggest sporting events of the year: the Aer Lingus College Football Classic at the Aviva Stadium. Fans from across Ireland and the US are set to descend on the city for a day of sport, energy and celebration. If you’re looking for the perfect spot to get the day rolling, look no further than Molloy’s Pub on Talbot Street.
Early House Advantage
With an early kick-off, you’ll want somewhere open bright and early. Molloy’s is one of Dublin’s well-known early houses, meaning you can get your first pint of the day long before most pubs open their doors at 7am. Whether you fancy a creamy pint of stout or a crisp lager, we’ll have it flowing.
Direct to the Aviva Stadium
Once you’ve had a scoop or two, getting to the game couldn’t be easier. Molloy’s is just a short walk from Connolly Station, where you can catch the DART straight to Lansdowne Road Station. From there, the Aviva Stadium is only steps away—no hassle, no long walks, just a smooth journey to the action.
A Buzzing Dublin Atmosphere
At Molloy’s, the craic starts early. Expect a mix of locals and visiting fans, all soaking up the atmosphere ahead of kick-off. It’s the perfect place to chat, share a laugh, and get into the spirit of the day before heading down to see the clash on the field.
