Lovely Irish pub. Quite big and like someone else said, full of nooks and crannies for hiding. Bar…read morestaff are all very nice and even the regulars are quite welcoming. Lovely for any situation, a quiet pint after a movie, or a night out at Christmas. Crowd is a perfect mix of old and young when it's busy, and I've been going here since I was young kid buying bacon fries and playing hide and seek in the back. Grand pint of guinness and even a few cocktails and shots. Classic Mallow pub.

Great place for a pint on a Saturday night-- they usually have very good live music, although it's a bit loud for a chat if they do! Also a great place to start a night out with friends. Very nice bartenders who are always up for a chat. I love the interior of the place, really nicely decorated and I particularly like the seats to the far right of the door, where you can have a little people watch of those going about their business in this part of town.

A nice quiet spot for a decent pint any time of the day. Never too crowded, even on the weekends…read more Saturday night bands can be a bit on the loud side.

Her only complaint was that it had a pea purée bed under the fish and it made the bottom a little soggy. We finished with a pear tart and ice cream dessert and it was yummy as well. Beers were the traditional offerings on tap. Prices weren't bad either - what one would expect after a couple days in Ireland.

Finally, our food was served and we were completely forgotten. We had to ask multiple times for the dessert that was included on our kids' meals. Staff was rude and indifferent. We are visiting from abroad so we don't have to worry about this dining option ever again. However, this review might help tourists or locals avoid a similarly awful experience. The beer was fine, at least.

Love it or hate it, if you come to Mallow, you're probably going to end up at Chasers. It's a bit…read moredank, a bit sticky, but the music can be pretty great sometimes. The bar staff are grand, not a huge selection but you'll find something. The door staff have never been tough for me to deal with but I've seen them be a bit high and mighty to others. Still, the crowd is generally alright so maybe they're just doing their jobs. There are usually a few 18-23 year olds, and then mostly people in the late thirties upwards, which leads to a strange atmosphere. Big and warm smoking area out the back, with a hatch to the bar which is handy. Bathrooms are extremely small in the place and can be dodgy and unclean-- the single standing sink in the ladies is usually covered in makeup spills and wads of wet toilet paper. There's a shelf near the door that we all throw out jackets as there's no cloakroom as such, and I've never had a jacket go missing. It's free to get in, and that's probably why we keep going back. I don't hate it, but I wouldn't go as far as to say I love it!
