Games and tournaments · Docks of Biarritz
Playing at Molly's Pub
Poker on Tuesdays, Mus upstairs, pétanque on the terrace, darts and beer pong, on the Docks of Biarritz. Poker welcomes beginners; Mus is for players who know the game.
Games at Molly's
A pub where you play, not only where you drink
An evening at Molly's is not just a drink at the bar. The pub has an outdoor pétanque court, darts, beer pong, and above all regular tournaments: poker on Tuesdays, Mus upstairs roughly every quarter.
Everything is open to everyone. No level and no licence required, and the regulars are more likely to explain the rules than to take advantage. It is the easiest way to move from one table to the next when you know nobody.
Tuesday poker is free and a qualifier for the Red Cactus circuit; Mus is played in pairs over a single day, pétanque in pairs across a season. Each has its own page, with its format and how it unfolds.

Darts and beer pong
What you can play with no tournament and no sign-up.
Darts
Available on site, no booking and nothing to organise. Enough to fill the end of an evening, in twos or in sixes.
Beer pong
The group game par excellence, mostly asked for at private upstairs bookings and birthdays.
Before you come
Starting out, signing up, coming as a group
For poker, sign up in advance on Red Cactus: the twenty-four seats go fast on busy weeks. Mus and pétanque are also by registration, on WhatsApp from each tournament’s page. For darts and beer pong, just turn up — the pub opens at 4:30 pm Tuesday to Friday and at 2pm on Saturday.
Starting out at poker is not a problem: the Deepstack format gives you more time than a fast tournament to learn as you play. Mus, on the other hand, requires knowing the game: a team discovering it on tournament day would miss out on theirs.
As a group, just come along: there’s no booking. For an evening all to yourselves, we privatise a space from 10 people, the upstairs floor from 20, with its covered terrace, dance floor and games, and the whole pub from 70, on a quote.
