Dan’s Tailgate Bar & Grill at Essendon Fields
September 5, 2026
Dan Murphy’s is the Official Retail Liquor Partner of the NFL Australia. To celebrate the first-ever in-season NFL Melbourne game, Dan’s is turning the Dan Murphy’s Essendon Fields carpark into a classic tailgate 12pm – 4pm, and you’re invited.
Not familiar with a tailgate? Picture cold drinks, smoky American BBQ food and peak game-day fever. Swing by for a bite and a drink, and try your hand at games like cornhole and Plinko to win prizes. These include tickets to the NFL match and a VIP experience at the MCG on the day.
No tickets are needed – just show up and join in. Attendees must be 18 and over to attend.
