A chilled, relaxed atmosphere permeates and it's definitely a good place to catch up with friends and chat over a pint. Any time I've visited, which has always been on a Saturday, there's live music playing. A friendly vibe permeates and Mickey Kelly's frequently reminds me of the bar from American sitcom Cheers. It has a laid-back feel and is very popular with locals, so has a solid core of regulars who all know each other. Cocktails are good and beer is excellent. Would recommend.

Oh my. I had an excellent night out in Molly Brown's for my friend's 22nd birthday, and now I'm…read moregoing to tell you alllll about it. You lucky people... First up was a bit of dinner, and this was undoubtedly going to be a good one. Molly Brown's run this 2 courses for £10 offer from 12-9pm Monday to Thursday, and from 12-6pm on Friday and Saturday, which is really very good value for money. There's a huge variety too and definitely something for everyone - from garlic bread starters to roast stuffed pepper mains. I chose the bread and oils starter, which down an absolute treat (including down my top, which didn't go down quite so well...), and for the mains I had a burger which wasn't half a bad 'un. So far so good. We happened to be there on a Thursday night (incidentally, as Geraldine mentioned, quiz night), so we weren't going anywhere any time soon. Between the meal and quiz, we got some drinks (Strawberry Daiquiris were all the rage) and had a bit of craic. Speaking of the daiquiris, I got a lesson in making one from the exceptionally friendly barman. Excellent. The quiz man (who's an absolute hoot) did arrive a good bit late, but we were all so pumped for the quiz (ok, I was), that we didn't mind too much. Throughout all the rounds our team were in second place until the very last round. As Mr Quizmaster announced the scores, we listened for our name and realised we'd come top...with another team! Oooh, the drama. One last tiebreak question, and the first prize was ours. Well, you should have heard the cheers, and the singing along to "We are the Champions"...yes, an exceptionally good night indeed.

On a Thursday night you can drop in for quiz night with the very entertaining quiz host and his half time nibbles...free and yummy! if you win you will receive anything from a bottle of wine to a 24 pack of beers (i know this because our team have won now a few times and we are not geniuses nor do we use our phones!!) They have a long list of cocktails as well as your standard man refreshments - beer! I heart Molly's because they run fantastic little offers every now and again. Sex and the City 2 premier night had a free cocktail, tickets and a bus to the cinema and back for a cheap as chips price! Trips to Down Royal racecourse are also run through the bar - the classic a pint and a bet. Kelvin, the manager, will happily whip you out 'a steak on a stone' from the kitchen while you look at the lovely paintings of local areas by local artists. Seriously, I could go on and on about this place...the food is really good with a starter and a main for a tenner. They even hosted my fiances 30th birthday party for no charge and allowed me to decorate the whole place with pictures of him in his nappy! So accommodating, affordable, friendly and I swear i'm not even getting paid to write this but I am going to print off a copy and take it in and try to get a free cocktail out of it!

The food was mid and the atmosphere was less than desirable. I hate to give poor reviews and yet it's necessary for this one. We actually left disappointed overall. The fish and chips were just ok as was the sausage and mash. The frickles were unimpressive and most of our group didn't care for the hummus (plus the bread was just 2 thin tortillas that had been toasted and cut). The chili chicken was decent but nothing to rave about and the calamari type dish was just bland. Maybe we caught them on an off night but if that's the case I would think the servers could step up and at least be friendly. Most staffers looked the other way or were just not accommodating.

No slight to Jameson but if you're in Northern Ireland then you should be drinking Northern Ireland whiskey. A bit loud at 6pm on a weekday with the after work folks but a space at the bar opened up and I was able to place an order. They do have great looking food here. The portion of chicken wings looks pretty amazing and the burger was massive. It's hard to miss the brightly painted red building where it's always Guinness Time. And don't miss looking up at the tin ceiling. [Review 1871 of 2024 - 854 in United Kingdom - 22893 overall]

Firstly I thought that on a Friday afternoon that the place would be rammed and I'd have to wait an age to get ripped in to those tiny, tender poultry pieces but I was wrong I walked in ordered at the bar and less than 15 minutes later I was presented with a wooden bowl of 33 glazed buffalo wings - all for £8.95! The price was good and the wings did live up to the hype but I wouldn't say they were earth shattering. There was just the right amount of glaze but the wings themselves lacked meat. Yesterday's visit to The Hudson reaffirmed how good the bar is in my eyes - it's such a jack of all trades - serves a whole host of different beers - I had the Sam Adams, something that you don't see too often in Belfast. It really is the perfect place to garb some wings and have a beer on a Friday afternoon.
