In a move that’s sure to delight the Steelers faithful, select Primanti Bros. locations across Western Pennsylvania will open their doors at 9:00 AM EDT, just half an hour before kickoff in Dublin, which is set for 9:30 AM. This early bird special means fans can gather, eat, drink, and cheer on their team together, despite the time difference.
A Taste of Pittsburgh, Wherever You Are
Jim Prezioso, Director of Beverage at Primanti Bros., perfectly encapsulated the sentiment behind this special opening. “This is a really cool moment for Pittsburgh fans – and we wanted to make sure that they had a place to gather, eat, drink and cheer on the team – even with the early kickoff,” Prezioso stated. “If you aren’t able to get to Dublin for the game – there’s no better place to be.”
For those looking to join the early morning festivities, the participating Primanti Bros. locations include Allison Park, Center Township, Cranberry, Greensburg, Harmar, McIntyre Square, Monroeville, Moon Township, North Versailles, Oakland, Pleasant Hills, Robinson, South Fayette, South Side, Washington, and Waterfront.
Half-Price Happy Hour to Kickstart Your Sunday
Adding to the excitement, these early-opening restaurants will feature a half-price happy hour menu until Noon, offering fans a fantastic deal to accompany their breakfast and football. It’s the perfect way to fuel up for what promises to be an exhilarating international contest.
Primanti Bros. Goes Global: A Pop-Up in Dublin
But the Primanti Bros. game-day experience isn’t just for those stateside. In an incredible display of commitment to their loyal fanbase, Primanti Bros. will also be operating a special pop-up location at the Croke Park Hotel in Dublin. This means that even fans who made the journey across the Atlantic can get a genuine taste of Pittsburgh.
Prezioso highlighted the deep, shared history between the two Pittsburgh icons: “Both the Steelers and Primanti Bros. were founded in 1933. We’ve bled black and gold for our entire existence. When the opportunity arose for us to bring our sandwiches to Dublin – it was a done deal.” The Dublin pop-up will be open on both Saturday and Sunday, ensuring fans have ample opportunity to enjoy their famous sandwiches.
