How Flaherty’s Supports Local Sports Teams in Barcelona

Sport brings people together, inspires, and builds community. And in a city as vibrant as Barcelona, sharing a love for sport becomes even more meaningful when there’s a place that not only shows live games but also actively supports local teams. That place is Flaherty’s Barcelona.

More Than a Pub With Big Screens, Flaherty’s goes beyond simply broadcasting matches — it proudly sponsors and supports local sports teams, particularly the Barcelona Lions Rugby Club, strengthening the city’s sports scene while connecting Irish culture with local athletic passion.

Rugby, Team Spirit and Post-Match Celebrations

The Barcelona Lions bring rugby energy and inclusive team spirit to the city. Welcoming both newcomers and experienced players, the team promotes teamwork, learning and a genuine love for the game.

Flaherty’s not only supports the Lions but also serves as their go-to hangout after trainings and matches — a place to share stories, celebrate wins, and build bonds over good food, cold beers and great company.

Boosting Irish Roots Through Sport

The Barcelona Gaels are a cornerstone of traditional Irish sports in Catalonia. Founded in 2003, this GAA club (Gaelic football and hurling) has spent over two decades promoting fast-paced, exciting Gaelic sports in the city. 

In this case, our pub acts as the link between players and fans, fostering a vibrant, multicultural sports community that shares its passion both on and off the pitch.

More Than a Sponsor – A Home for Sports

Flaherty’s commitment to local sports goes far beyond sponsorship. Known as one of the best sports bars in Barcelona, it offers an extensive line-up of live events including football, rugby, GAA, NFL, Formula 1, tennis, golf and much more.

With giant screens and surround sound, fans can experience every match as if they were right there in the stadium. And thanks to its welcoming, pub-style atmosphere, every game is packed with intensity, excitement and passion.

A Multicultural Hub in the Heart of Barcelona

Perfectly located in central Barcelona, Flaherty’s is an ideal meeting point for locals, tourists and expats who share a passion for sport and Irish culture. The mix of backgrounds, teams and traditions creates a truly inclusive environment — where fans of sponsored teams, league matches or international finals all feel part of the same vibrant community.

Add in top-notch food, hospitality and Guinness on tap, and you’ve got an experience like no other in the city.

A Place to Celebrate Wins and Share the Passion

Flaherty’s Barcelona is more than a sponsor — it’s a true ally of local sport. Its ongoing support of the Barcelona Lions Rugby is proof of a real commitment to promoting participation, camaraderie and sporting spirit in the city.

Whether you’re a player or a fan, Flaherty’s is a place to celebrate every victory, relive every moment, and be part of a genuine, multicultural sports community in the heart of Barcelona.
