With more than 200 iconic pubs, bars and dedicated events spaces across the country, The Pass is one of the largest and highly regarded hospitality networks in the game that continues to expand, with new venues added frequently.

The exciting partnership announcement will see The Pass become one of the Essendon Football Club’s Venue Providers for 2025. In conjunction with this partnership, the iconic Maribyrnong based pub, Anglers Tavern, have jumped on-board as a great location for Essendon’s fans to attend and show their support for interstate and away matches this season.

Members and fans can swing by the Anglers Tavern before, during, or after the game to hang with friends and family, and to catch all the action live and loud on the screens, alongside the Bomber faithful. The perfect spot to fuel footy excitement with great food, drinks, and entertainment.

“We’re really pleased to be partnering with The Pass, and we are delighted about what this means for our members and fans,” Essendon’s Chief Operating Officer – Nick Ryan said.

“The Pass is committed to supporting a wide range of grassroots and professional sporting clubs, so the partnership with Essendon is very special to us. We are excited for Anglers Tavern to be the official hospitality home and a centralised hub for Dons fans throughout the 2025 AFL Premiership season,” The Pass CXO, Marianne Mewett said.

As part of the partnership, Anglers Tavern will provide Essendon members access to exclusive food and beverage offers on our away game days. Also included is a $10 credit when purchasing through The Pass app and a further 15% off food and beverages when using their member access code.
