It’s that time of year again – It’s finals footy time! We’ve once again managed to secure an (outrageously) early license in order to show the AFL Grand Final in 4K Ultra HD.
Our doors will open at 5am (a full 6 hours before our usual opening time!) on Saturday 24th September, so if you’re looking for somewhere with a great atmosphere to watch Aussie Rules Football in Edinburgh, head to Malones! Our screens are visible from every stool, booth and corner of the pub, so there are no bad views.
Every year we team up with Aussie Rules club the Edinburgh Bloods (the current Scottish Champions) to host the ultimate AFL Grand Final event with our staple electric, home away from home atmosphere.
Malones Edinburgh and the Edinburgh Bloods’ partnership goes way back – we have sponsored the club for almost a decade. In fact, they were our first when we began sponsoring Edinburgh sports teams!
On the morning of the much-anticipated AFL Grand Final we’ll be serving pints from kick-off, and hearty breakfast food will also be available from opening. In keeping with tradition, we’ve got a special menu planned for the event with authentic Aussie drinks and products, and there’ll be a raffle with fantastic prizes up for grabs.
We know it’s an early one – but if you’re planning on supporting your team, (or sledging your mate’s team) you won’t regret the early start. There’s no better pub in Edinburgh to watch Aussie Rules Football than Malones – just ask the Edinburgh Bloods. They’ll be here to watch the final and are always up for a chat – especially if you’re interested in taking up Aussie Rules Football in Edinburgh.
To watch the AFL Grand Final with us, simply walk in on the morning as there are no tickets required for the event. If you’d like to book a table for 5 or more, email us at edinburgh@malonesirishbars.com.
Can’t wait to see you there!
