The Pittsburgh Steelers have announced a new partnership with Mahon Hospitality Group that will see the popular Kennedy's Pub and Restaurant in Dublin become the Official Pub of the Pittsburgh Steelers in Ireland.
Established in 1850, Kennedy's Pub and Restaurant will now serve as a home for Steelers fans across the island, offering a dedicated venue for supporters to come together throughout the NFL season. As an official viewing location for Steelers games, fans will be able to gather at the pub to watch Sunday fixtures and experience the atmosphere of game day together.
A portion of Kennedy's will feature Steelers photography and memorabilia, with a section of the pub taking the name "Steelers Station at Kennedy's".
As part of the partnership, the Steelers and Kennedy's will host a series of annual Steelers events at the venue, including a Steelers Draft Party in 2026, as well as other fan engagement activities. The 2026 Steelers Draft Party will take place at Kennedy's on the April 25th, 2026. Tickets are available now, but due to high demand and limited capacity, tickets are expected to sell out quickly.

The partnership reflects the Steelers' continued commitment to building their presence in Ireland and strengthening connections with their growing Irish fan base following the team's historic 2025 game at Croke Park. Last year, the Steelers made history by competing in the NFL's first-ever regular season game in Ireland at Croke Park, Dublin. The landmark event generated €104.5 million in economic impact for Ireland.
"Ireland has always held a special place for the Steelers organization and our connection with the island continues to grow," said Dan Rooney, Vice President of Business Development & Strategy. "Partnering with Mahon Hospitality Group to establish Kennedy's as the Official Pub of the Pittsburgh Steelers in Ireland gives fans a dedicated place to come together and celebrate Steelers football."
"We are delighted to partner with the Pittsburgh Steelers and welcome them to Kennedy's," said Robert Mahon of the Mahon Hospitality Group. "The Steelers have a passionate and growing fan base in Ireland and we're excited to provide a home for those fans to come together and experience the atmosphere of game day. We look forward to hosting Steelers supporters throughout the season and building a special connection between the team, the pub and fans here in Ireland."
