If you love a good dive bar, this is the perfect downtown bar for you. It's a little bit of a hike as it's closer to the convention center, but bartenders are friendly and drinks are cheaper. They have a couple pool tables/dart boards but overall just a good divey vibe, so don't expect fancy or upscale. read more

I was there on Saturday. This is a great neighborhood bar. I've actually lived downtown for over 18 years. And this always gives me a friendly neighbor feel.Kind of like a cheers in downtown Fort Worth where everyone knows your name. read more

LOVED this place. It's like the little bar you go to where half of the people are regulars. It was quiet and doesn't look like a bar that you would be served one of the best lemon drop martinis you ever had, yet there we were. If you are staying at the Omni or near the convention center (this place is right behind it) stop by, we had a great time and great conversation with the bartender and I wish I had caught his name. If you're looking for fancy, this isn't the place but if you are looking for a quiet bar, good conversation and a great place. Don't pass this one up. read more

Great place to have a drink. No food but that's ok. Bartenders are attentive and quick with a drink.

Classic pub. Check it out. Dark, cool, Guinness on top, TV, good tunes, what more could you ask for? read more

The best thing I could say about this place is that they had Guinness on tap, and were within walking distance of restaurants. Went a few weeks ago and was extremely disappointed. We were a party of two, and the only patrons in the place. The bartender was too interested in texting and watching Harry Potter that she never checked in on us/asked if we needed anything. A guy came in yelling and apparently works at the bar. He acknowledged us slightly more than the woman, but they were more occupied in gossiping with one another than doing anything else (i.e., their job). read more

Malone's Pub is exactly what you'd want, need, and expect a pub to be. Super casual with no frills or fancy light fixtures or modern furniture; comfortable and laid back. Think low lighting, a couple pool tables, a big wooden bar, a few TVs, a few neon signs, and a low-key crowd. The staff is warm and casual. It's not really a place for on-trend artsy craft cocktails, but they make the classics well and the pours are strong. Great prices too! I like the true red painted brick out front and their cute little patio. It's just a couple tables! It feels very neighborhood-y and long-time-local-y here at Malone's, a trait that makes Fort Worth my favorite. It can be a little intimidating when you feel like everyone inside already knows one another, but you'll quickly be welcomed soon have a drink in hand. All is always well at Malone's! read more

If you're looking for a casual location downtown to watch a game or cut up with some new people, Malone's is your place. Another establishment where you go and make new friends every time you set foot in the door. They have a full drink menu and every beer you'd ever need. And the bartender working that night was on his game. Super friendly and interesting. Such a fun talk and a fun time. If the atmosphere is your thing, look no further than Malone's! Go check them out! read more

When you want a cocktail without swapping out of your Dallas Stars gear, all those south downtown steakhouse options aren't going to cut it. A work colleague mentioned he was headed to his favorite after-work drinking spot, Malone's Pub, and I tagged along due to both geographical convenience and zero motivation to change my t-shirt. I'd been there before, albeit with a multi-year gap between visits. Malone's added a pleasant patio on its Calhoun Street entrance before the smoking ban went into effect. I walked past the empty outdoor tables and inside the very dimly lit shotgun-style space. Surprisingly, every seat at the rail but one was already taken by 5pm, which is a good sign for a joint that doesn't serve food. What was different from my last sojourn to Malone's was the intense smokiness, and a non-internet-connected music system. The bartender said the original jukebox broke a few times, and eventually their vendor made them switch to the digital version. Anyone who has been trapped in a bar near a drunk dude with $20 in his hand and a thing for Staind should pour one out for the loss of the vintage machine that was always loaded with local CDs and tunes. Other than those insignificant changes, Malone's Pub remains a damn decent place to post up for a no-frills drink that won't break the bank and the staff is no nonsense in the best sort of way. read more

After a long boozy hunt, we finally found the best Rosé from Provence for your buck to help you stay hydrated for the next few months! Enjoy! read more

Malone's Pub - a glass of wine and a bottle of wine - Irish Pub Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Great old school joint across from the convention Center, fair selection of beers,good cocktails. Local characters make for interesting conversations. Velton is a great bartender, like in Billy Joel song,"quick with a joke and to light up your smoke" Try his version of a Moscow mule! Will return to this place read more

Great little local bar! Came in with friends and I volunteer to go get the first round: two vodka-cranberry, two vodka-tonics and one cosmo! OMG, i didn't think about that, I have to go order a Cosmo from a Texas bartender. I knew what was coming. So I order the drinks in that order and the bartender is saying OK, OK OK until I get to the cosmo and sure as hell, he lets me have it, "wow, what". The guy sitting on the stool next to me just turns his head and looks at me. I shrug my shoulders and say "you can take the girl out of NY but you cant take NY out of the girl". The both laugh and an incident is adverted. Anyways, all the drinks with tip for under $30. I don't think there is food here because some of the locals had Taco Bell, which is post alcohol food; but she was young. All the drinks were good and the clientele were friendly. I also tried one of the local draft beers and was happy with my decision. read more

Malone's is a great place for an honest pint. Velton let's you know how it is and offers you the BEST PINT!! Everyone here is great! I'd recommend it hands down while you are here. read more

This is a pub's pub. A dimly lit, the cracked leather barstools are filled with neighborhood regulars, and the charming bartender welcomes people with a smile. It's definitely a pub, no questions about it. All it's missing is a grandfathered-in smoking indoors policy. The outside is just as charming as the inside. There's a bright blue door that matches the vintage sign. They have a small patio that is a nice thought, but it doesn't seem too comfortable. I think they've included it more to have one than anything. The beers are pretty cheap and they have a couple options for snacks, too. I always appreciate something salty to munch on with my binge drinking. It's the little details that makes this place so unique. I'm not sure if people go here, or they just stumble upon it, but either way, I'd recommend it. read more

I would have never know the exact location of this bar without the invitation of Yelp friends. It's a nice bar to watch big games and catch up with friends. I notice that nobody was smoking so I'm crossing my fingers that they really don't allow smoking here. I will definitely comeback to get to know more about this bar. read more

Free cheese sandwiches on Tuesday nites...Great Bar Great People. Ask for Francesca or her compadre Felton..

Pardon the semi-broken record routine, but if you've ever spent any time going out in a city where there's a non-smoking policy indoors, you'll really come to appreciate it. At least I have, and it's been a bit of an adjustment to coming home smoggy after a night out here. Enter my latest stop off at Malone's Pub, a terrific neighborhood-style bar that has seen the future (so to speak), and pushed ahead with a non-smoking policy in advance of potential changes down the line by the city. And truth be told, the non-smoking thing wouldn't amount to much if Malone's didn't already have a cool thing going on, which they do. The night I dropped in, the room was teeming with regulars from stem to stern, all seemingly engaged in occasionally uproarious conversation, with bar staff staged as partners in crime. If my visit's any indication, it's a happy place, this Malone's, and not only have they carved out a unique and welcoming spot in the city, but they're planning on being here a good long while yet. And that's a welcome addition any day. read more

I expected a smokey bar full of cheap beer and toothless old men. I was shocked to find a smoke free bar full of craft beers, pool table and darts, and a friendly as hell couple of bartenders. Solid bar worth a visit. read more

Come here every year for the NBS convention, best bar around. Good beer and great bartenders. read more

I love this bar, but sadly, have never given it a full review. So here goes.... Malones is a total locals bar, with a very warm regard for tourists and visitors. My wife and i stumbled upon this place a year ago, and have been faithful ever since. The bar is simple, yet lovely place to hang, with either a group, your boo, or by yourself. The owner and bartenders are really cool to talk to. They will chat you up if you choose to talk, or leave you be if thats your desire. The place is not big, not small, just right. Jukebox has a very unique selection from Frank Sinatra to Megadeath. The prices are sweet, good specials, and I have never seen a problem in there. I asked Velton (best bartender ever) if there are ever any fights, and he said no, we stop trouble at the door. Its a nice safe place to enjoy a beverage, shoot the breeze ,and totally chill.... Enjoy!! read more

There is this extremely rude bartender who I guess didn't think our ID's were real, or idk maybe she wanted 2 forms of ID or a passport apart from our state ID's, lol her name was Franchesca or Fernanda. The lady bit the state ID as if it was a fucking gold coin. Shiver me timbers! We drank our beer and left, very bad vibe. read more

This is one of my favorite spots in Fort Worth for when I get off work. As a member of the service industry, this is almost a haven for all of us. Its hard to walk in and not see others from around the restaurants in the area. Suffice to say, its kinda like a home for all of us. Firstly, they really cater to the regulars. We are polled along with everyone else in the industry as to what music to put on the jukebox. No matter how odd or obscure, they have an awesome, personal blend of music to experience while unwinding and in my eyes, hands down the best music opportunity and jukebox in Fort Worth. Secondly is the beer selection. A variety of the common macrobrews are on tap, but they have an obscenely well put together selection of bottled brews. It doesn't hurt that the bartenders know and understand the selection very well and can make near perfect recommendations time and time again. Thirdly, the bartenders... Velton is a hands down favorite. Knowledgeable and friendly, his assistance has always been appreciated and his bartending personality is what everyone could hope for after a tough night of work. Finally, pool tables and dart boards mean that you can keep busy if the poured drinks don't keep your attention. In the long run, Malone's is a great late night spot to hang out and relax when you don't want to be around the 'scene' of Fort Worth and want more the opportunity to unwind comfortably. read more

Love does not begin to express my feelings about this place. It is everything I think a neightborhood bar should be. It has... -- A smoke-free environment inside -- Friendly bar staff -- A close but not crowded space inside -- A good, cheap drink option that is NOT a special (in other words, I can afford this place even if it's no longer happy hour) -- A welcoming attitude toward Night Riders (woohoo, bikes!) read more

Been to this bar quite a bit. Good atmosphere, not too rowdy. The staff is great and approachable. Never experience a bad time when I'm there. The clientele this establishment attracts is typical middle class individuals. They have a few pool tables and a dart board. They broadcast ESPN on their tv's. The jukebox has a good selection of music. This bar is one that has a lot of repeat business for the right reasons. read more

Ed, owner, tending bar my first visit. Awesome guy, good company. Classic 25 ft wide and 100 ft long. No gimmicks. Seems there's a really strong regulars crowd, usually a good sign. read more

I found Malone's on my first day of law school. It is a great place, slightly off the beaten path in downtown Ft Worth. The owner and bartenders are local legends and are my kind of people. This place has an eclectic group of regular customers that are friendly and welcoming. I can not say enough about this bar. You should go check it out. read more

Malone's was one of those places I never had any intention of going into. Not sure I knew the name of the place before I went in, although I did know there was a bar here. It's on the outer part of the south side of downtown, and not much else is down here, except a couple of other places I also had no real interest in. However...couple people wanted to have a drink, and it was the chosen location. I expected on walking in to find a dingy, old, worn out joint, but was really surprised. Inside is nice, clean, simple. Furniture is nothing fancy, but it's in good shape and looks taken care of. Carpet looks good, clean. Honestly, I think the place is pretty nice. Long bar, tables in front. Several TV's along the back bar, small but nice patio out front. Service was good, nice beer selection, the usual liquor choices. It's a good crowd, quiet, tame, no crazy shooter frat rats, no worn out or over served citizens looking for a place to hang out until thrown out. No loud jukebox spewing out drum beat crap or anything. Everyone seemed extremely....normal. I like this place, I'm thinkin' I might even stop in here on my own and lonesome from time to time. My beer was a little cheaper than normal, and that's even better. Lots of lot parking behind the place, due to the proximity to the convention center. Kinda deserted, so keep an eye out at night maybe, but Fort Worth doesn't really seem to have a problem with troublemakers downtown for the most part. I actually walked down here from Sundance Square and I had no problems whatsoever. read more

Man it's been a min since I've been here. Changed a lot for the better lol. Haven't been here in like 10+ years, what I remember it was a lot more rough and divey. Now it's a clean decent looking bar. I came in with my brother just before last call, bartender was friendly and nice even tho we were obviously feeling good. Plenty of parking on the street. Definitely would come back for another visit next time I'm in funky town. read more

A truly genuine local bar of fort Worth. If you want to experience what it's like to experience the hospitality of "Where the West Begins" then this is your spot. As a Guinness drinker, this is the best place to have an excellent pour, and at a reasonable price. There are plenty of screens to catch the game, good music to keep the party going, and darts and pool for those who want to keep their hands busy. The crowd is diverse and welcoming. For those searching for a place to begin, continue, or end your evening, Malone's is the place to be. read more

I think you were at the wrong bar Eric L. I have been going to Malone's Pub for years. It's one the most chill and racially diverse bars in town. Great staff and a great crowd. read more

Come here every now and then with some friends, place is really calm, good service, and smoke free.

No food, no drama, no gimmicks (and no smoking inside) at Malone's. You want to have a drink or three, it's a damn fine bar bar. Not a dive, not a gastropub, just a bar with good service, easygoing folks and a loyal group of irregular regulars. read more

How this place hasn't hit my radar until now, I don't know. But, better late than never. It's the best little "neighborhood" type bar anyone could ask for. It's so refreshing to walk in and not be hit in the face with a cloud of stale nicotine! But, if you are a smoker, you can still do your thing on the outside patio. Ed is the owner and greeted us on our first visit. His nearly 20 years of success in the business shows by his friendly, unassuming nature. He's a quality guy and his drinks are good, reasonably priced, and to the point! There's no trendy, fru-fru here and that's fine with me. I ordered a vodka/tonic and it was perfect. When Ed asked if I wanted another, he remembered my name! Who does that anymore? You can buy chips, etc., to snack on, but if you want anything heavier, they have a list of places you can order from and have delivered straight to the bar. Parking is no problem with ample spaces in front and an entire lot out back. Visit this little diamond in the rough soon. They won't disappoint. I love this place and I plan to be a regular in no time! UPDATE: There's a law school up the street. If the students there decide to show up, you won't find a seat and it's loud as hell. Other than that...it's still a great place. read more

I have been frequenting this bar for much longer than I care to admit :) Over the last year I feel like its really improved! It's much tinier inside than it used to be. In order to accommodate the outside patio for the smokers you lost the couch corner and a pool table. But I leave there now and don't reek of smoke, so it's okay. The bathrooms are always clean and working. Very important :) Really nice bottled beer selection. There's a good mix of regulars. You'll find a lot of service industry people here too. This is my favorite juke box in fort worth. There's a solid selection. The bartenders are great. Velton is a gem. I do miss Carey!! This place has the downtown Fort Worth feel w/o the downtown crap you don't want to haggle with. Parkings never a issue. Try them out! read more

The bar tenders are all great, and there is a very friendly pub atmosphere. Not an upscale bar, but a place to go have a conversation with some friends and get some drinks. The music is never so loud you have to shout over it and the service is quick. After 3 visits the bar tenders will remember you. This is amazing as my visits are usually weeks if not months apart. Go here for drinks with the guys, or girls, if you are looking to relax and enjoy the company of your friends. read more

Malone's Pub is the perfect bar to just chill and drink. The beer is always ice cold. The bartenders are friendly and cool. The jukebox is filled with a lot of alternative and old rock. If you're looking for a place that feels like home only better, this is your place. It's dog friendly, if your dog is on a leash. read more

We were in town for a conference and had an awesome experience! The bartenders were super nice and made us feel very welcome.

Name says it all. It is a Local Pub. No loud music, just background. No smoking indoors. Good prices, surprising choices of beers. Plenty of liquor. We will go back next time we are in FW! read more

I would describe Malones as an enigma if only I knew what an enigma was (or is). On first glance it seems out of place. It's nearest neighbor is a quickie mart run by a guy who only turns on the electricity when someone comes in. On the other side is some sort of lawyer thing and a block away is the bus/train station. There is nothing around here that screams a population that would support a bar (well, okay, lawyers maybe). It is well off the beaten track of those who consider Sundance Square to be the epitome of cultural decadence. But I can tell you, that if you are downtown FW looking for a bar where "everybody knows your name" then this is where you want to lite. Only a short walk from the Sheraton (my home away from home) Malones hits on all four cylinders (eight if you're from TX). Cool, comfortable and homey I could see my self being a regular if I lived within biking distance. Daily specials (I'm enjoying $3 pint night) and a soulful taste in music makes this my go-to bar for chilling. If you want to pay for overpriced drinks go to the Flying Saucer in Sundance. If you want to rub elbows with Fort Worthians and not bust your budget then wander over to Malones. You could do far worse. read more

Great smoke free bar across the street from the train station. Went here 2 days in a row. Bartender was nice & friendly. Good place to play pool & darts. Smoking patio in the front of the pub. Great happy hour prices. read more
