The sports bar at Molly's Pub
Rugby, football, tennis: four big screens across two floors, 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 are spread across the two floors, and the sound is set so you can hear the commentary without shouting to talk to the person next to you. Rugby is the backbone of the season; football and the major tennis tournaments take over the rest of the time.

Upcoming screenings
What is already announced in our listings.
No screening is announced right now. TV scheduling is often decided at the last minute: the week's line-up goes out on Instagram first, and the site listings follow.
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 Friday-night Top 14 game or a midweek Pro D2 fixture can be watched without elbowing your way in.
What we show
Rugby first, football and tennis next
Three families of fixtures, in that order of priority.
Rugby
Top 14 and Pro D2 all season long, 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
Ligue 1, La Liga, the Premier League, the Champions League and the Europa League. The fixtures that matter get shown; the rest depends on what else is on.
Tennis
The big ATP tournaments and the Grand Slams, mostly from the later rounds.
When two matches overlap
There are four screens, so two games can run at once. During the rugby season rugby keeps priority, but we adapt to the big occasions.
Before you come
When to arrive, and who with
The pub opens at 4.30pm Tuesday to Friday and at 2pm on Saturday. For a big fixture — Six Nations, a Top 14 final, a BO-Aviron derby — 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. That goes out on Instagram first, which is the most reliable way to know whether your match is on.
There is no table booking: it is first come, first served. From around ten people, write to us and we will hold an area for you. Above twenty-five, the whole upstairs floor can be booked privately.
