The sports bar at Molly's Pub

Rugby, football, and the rest on request: four big screens, two in the bar and two upstairs, at the Docks of Biarritz. Upcoming screenings, the competitions we follow, and everything you need to pick your night.

Sport at Molly's

An English pub, four screens, a whole season

Molly's is an English pub on the Docks of Biarritz, a short walk from the station. Sport is watched here the way it is watched in a pub: standing at the bar or sitting upstairs, drink in hand, surrounded by people commenting out loud.

Four big screens, two in the bar and two upstairs, and sound set so you can hear the commentary without shouting to talk to the person next to you. Rugby and football share the season, neither ahead of the other; tennis or another league goes on at your request, when a big screening isn't already using the screens.

Fans packed around the bar at Molly’s Pub, a rugby match on the screen

A match night on the Docks

What you will find when you push the door open.

On big-match nights the pub fills up early and spills onto the forecourt. Biarritz Olympique and Aviron Bayonnais regulars, visiting supporters, curious passers-by following the noise: nobody is out of place, and the unwritten rule is that you can tease without pushing it.

Midweek the mood is calmer. A Thursday- or Friday-night Pro D2 game, or a Champions League night on a Tuesday or Wednesday, can be watched without elbowing your way in.

What we show

Rugby and football, and the rest on request

What is scheduled as standard, and what goes on when you ask.

  • Rugby

    The big Top 14 and Pro D2 fixtures, Biarritz Olympique and Aviron Bayonnais home and away, the Six Nations, the Champions Cup and the Challenge Cup, the World Cup and international tests.

  • Football

    The Champions League, the Europa League, the Conference League and the Nations League are on the schedule. Ligue 1, La Liga or the Premier League go on at your request, when a big screening isn't already using the screens.

  • Tennis

    The big ATP tournaments and the Grand Slams aren't scheduled as standard: ask for them and we'll put them on as soon as a screen is free.

  • When two matches overlap

    There are four screens, two in the bar and two upstairs, so two games can run at once. No sport comes before another, and the pub stays open to its customers' requests.

Before you come

When to arrive, and who with

The pub opens at 4:30 pm Tuesday to Friday and at 2pm on Saturday; it is closed on Sundays and Mondays, except for the very biggest sporting events. For a big fixture — Six Nations, a Top 14 final — allow a good half hour: that is the difference between choosing your spot and putting up with it.

When a match kicks off before the usual opening time, we open earlier. The matches we show are on the board at the top of this page; Instagram is for the unexpected, like an early opening or a last-minute change.

There’s no booking: it’s walk-in only, even for groups. Celebrating something at the same time? We privatise a space from 10 people, the upstairs floor from 20 and the whole pub from 70, on a quote.
