Three of us stopped in here for dinner and drinks. It was quite busy and seems to be mostly filled with locals. It was a true bar/pub atmosphere. Ordering was confusing and that we didn't know you had to go to the bar to order food and drinks once we figured that out everything was great. The food was good and we would definitely go back read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner - their Irish stew was very good and the service was fast. Prices were reasonable as well - bartender poured a nice Black and Tan read more

This was a fantastic pub and the people working there are so friendly. I wish I remembered the bartender's name because he was really incredible. We told him we were visiting and he went out of his way to write us up a list of all the things we should do in Glasgow while we were there. It was above and beyond. The pub itself is an Irish pub and it looks like one. The food was pretty good and of course the pints were cold. I think they claim to have the cheapest Guinness in town. That I cannot vouch but it was pretty inexpensive. I would definitely come back. read more

Great bar with terrific staff who are very helpful which add to the great atmosphere in this cozy pub. Great live music too at the weekend & one of the best pint of Guinness in town & the food is also great value for money. They have several screens showing the football & GAA too which make it the perfect bar to settle in for your sporting weekend. read more

I only popped in a for a quick after cinema drink before heading home. It is a nice enough space, quite quiet for a Sunday evening. The staff weren't the most friendly, my friend had asked for no ice in her vodka and he put ice in, when she reminded him, he seemed to have a little huff about it. Overall, fine, but unless there is a reason to, I won't be hurrying back any time soon. read more

Molly Malones - Pubs Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

In my old student days this was a bar that l rarely ever went to even in the eight years that I've lived here l could count on one hand the amount of times that I've ever been here. Notes Molly Maloney bar is a Belhaven owned pub and that also means freezer to microwave type pub grub. There is little Irish feel or vibe to the place. In the past year I've ended up coming here twice with a group of friends usually for stag party's but this is more of a place that you start of the night then to move on elsewhere as the night progressed. Food Is served here but most of it is bought in and microwaved apart from the fish & chips. Toilets are down stairs there but is a disabled toilet on the same level and that's usually stinking half way through the night. A good bar to start your night but there are more livelier bars just up the road. read more

As far as city ish centre pubs go, this is one of the better ones. Despite its proximity to Sauchiehall Street, this place manages to pull off a pretty laid back vibe during the week, before exploding into full yee haw during the weekend. boasting a pretty damn fine pub grub menu and a pint of Guinness that would put many a place to shame, Malones is a fine drinking establishment with a good Irish feel without the painted on feel of some of the other Irish joints. Well worth a visit. read more

I really don't want to say that Molly Malones is "good craic"...i must resist the temptation to fall into stereotypes...! But it is good craic. Was here last night for the first time, although it's not uncommon for my pals to drink here and they've been raving about it for a while. Decent size, decent prices, decent bar, and obviously getting some good old Irish themed nights on the go. Malones is partial to throwing a wee gig, and there is an Irish vibe in here despite the fact I didn't meet an irish person the whole evening (not that I was expecting to). Big old oak tables, comfy chairs, hunners of whisky behind the bar, pub grub till eight....and for ladies out on the pull, the guys drinking in here certainly seem to be keen to chat everyone up! Dutch courage in an Irish setting, all in the heart of Glasgow. Cannae beat the banter. read more

Can't go wrong with Molly's for food, won't set the world on fire but it is good and plentiful usually quiet in the lunch hours as well so if your looking for a bit of peace and quiet this is a good shout, unless its a weekend at which point the place is bouncing. The party atmosphere of many a night though is what I for one love about Molly's with everyone having a great time and friendly to everyone else. Molly's makes no pretence of being something it is not which is a rarity. May never win an awards for its food but its a pub for heavens sake and a bloody good one. read more

Molly Malones is a great little Irish pub in Glasgow's city centre, with old fashioned wooden flooring, cosy booths and live music several nights of the week. Drinks aren't awfully expensive and there's a great friendly atmosphere here that's difficult to beat, with their old fashioned Irish charm and hospitality. Depending on when you visit, you'll find anything from a cosy Sunday afternoon crowd with papers and pints, to a lively Saturday night with live bands playing everything from Irish party music to impressive covers of musical classics. A really great little pub that you might not previously have come across, but one that is warm, welcoming and definitely worth a visit. read more

OK, I've only ever been to Molly Malone's to watch Old Firm* matches. Look, obviously if you're a Rangers fan this might not be the place for you during an Old Firm game, but being an American without a real bias towards either team (well, obviously I'm a Celtic fan by marriage, but I'm far from diehard) I can attest to this place as a fun, lively and light-hearted establishment. There's no animosity or bad feeling brewing, unlike a certain old man pub about two blocks away. People are just drunk and cheerful, and whatever the outcome of the game everyone starts singing and slapping each other on the back (either with congratulations or sympathy) and just generally being grand and incredibly sentimental about football. There is one giant pull-down screen to watch games and lots of other smalls ones. In addition to being a great place to watch sports, live music here has miraculously achieved the balance of being engaging but if you position yourself away from it, you can have an actual conversation. Overall, Molly Malone's somehow transcends the generic Irish/sports pub to become a place where you are very likely to have a great time, no matter what the occasion. *If your not from the UK and reading this review: there are two huge football teams in Glasgow with an epic rivalry - Celtic and Rangers. Whenever they play each other, it's called an Old Firm match. read more

Don't come here for the food. How can you screw up a burger. Other than that the atmosphere is good and the staff is friendly . read more

One of the best bars in the city centre, Molly Malones is a fantastic Irish pub hidden just off Sauchiehall street. It may have an 'old man' feeling about the place, but it's far from dull. Yes, ok, it can be quiet during the week, but it's a good place to sit with a drink, or even for some sortof traditional Irish type food (the Irish Stew is actually pretty tasty), otherwise, if you're looking for something a bit livlier, there's live music twice weekly (if you love your Irish/Celtic folk music, here's your place!), or just visit when a Celtic match is being played, then you'll be most likely hard of hearing. Molly Malone's also apparently has the best Guinness in Glasgow - personally I don't touch the stuff, but I've been told by several folks that this fable does actually ring true, so stick that in your pint, and drink it, I suppose. Cheery, lively and Irish. A grand old place for a drink. read more

We had just arrived in Glasgow after an overnight flight from the US. We were severely jet lagged but needed to stay awake! stopped in to Molly Malone's to watch Rugby, Ireland vs South Africa. Enjoyed Irish stew and Fish & Chips, both very good. Fun place, great service, perfect antidote for jet lag! read more

Molly Malone had a good atmosphere on a Sat lunchtime. Waitress that served us was very pleasant and helpful. We both had items from crock pot menu £5.29 each. Excellent food at good prices read more

Handy because it's close to the cinema. I had checked out its menu online before going and it sounded like hearty and appetising pub grub. We walked inside to find a seat and the main thing that struck me was the strong smell of fish. Fair enough, fish is on the menu but considering it's not one of my favourite smells I considered an about turn to elsewhere for food. However, we found a place to sit that didn't stink too strongly and turned our attention to the menu. The menu was the same one as on their website only this one was fairly grubby with numerous stains of what I can only assume to be ketchup and bits of other peoples' previous dinners. The place has table service and our waitress was pleasant enough but appeared a bit rushed off her feet at times. We each ordered macaroni and said we'd approach the bar ourselves for a look to choose what to drink. Looking over the bar it was mainly lagers, cider and guiness on offer alongside all the usual bar offerings. We're both real ale fans and it would have been nice to see a nicer Irish ale alongside the guiness but oh well, can't win them all. Our food arrived and the "thick slices of garlic bread" weren't much more than the individual slices you can buy in a pack of 9 in most supermarkets. The macaroni itself was ok but was a bit watery for my liking, I've had better Kraft dinner! We then ordered dessert - apple pie with ice cream and sticky toffee pudding with ice cream. I headed off to the ladies loo at this point, I found my way down a narrow flight of stairs found them pretty grubby looking and the decor had seen better days. However, on a positive note they do have one of those awesome hand dryers that move your skin about when drying! Back upstairs and dessert soon arrived. The ice cream was fairly cheap tasting and mine had a large ice crystal in it indicating the ice cream had been out of the freezer long enough to defrost at one point before being put back in to freeze. The apple pie itself was sweet but tasteless however I rated the accompanying toffee sauce to be the best part of the meal. The boyfriends sticky toffee pudding was too sweet for him to finish. We paid our bill and headed off to the movies. I won't return to Molly Malone's. Food in nearby Wetherspoons or O'Neils is far superior fare to the quality on offer here! read more

Nice pub. Quick service. Bit pricey- £7.30 for 2 Tennents- but no hassle. Not had lunch in it for a while but decent pub grub

Met with some friends before heading to The Good Spirits. Co for a beer tasting night (review to follow). It's pretty standard and inoffensive fare. Around £3-£3.50 a pint dependent on your tipple of choice and you have a menu with a distinctly Irish theme. Colcannon, Steak & Guinness sausages etc. etc. The food is nothing mind blowing but fairly cheap and filled a hole before moving on to somewhere else. Not a must visit venue but fine for what it is. read more

Its a bit run down these days but its still not a bad wee pub. pretty good for watching footy and things. Food is bog standard pub grub with and Irish feel. read more

Molly Malones lives up to its name, a typical irish pub in the middle of Glasgow,even had hurling on the tv. Well stocked bar, maybe a bit random but I like the little step up to booths. Only visited a few times but the general atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, even more than that I suppose when a guy bought my friends who were celebrating 40 and 50 birthdays jaeger bombs - well seven of them!!!! I know that's not a testimony to the pub but it helps to know good people may be there;-) . Not eaten here yet but when I nosy at people's plates it always looks and smells great, with plenty on the menu. read more

Great for gluten free! They understand what is safe and are very accommodating - food was delicious!! Staff is amazing - very friendly and customer focused read more

Prices are average for town, food quite nice, ok but nothing special

I visited Molly Malones a few times whilst in Glasgow and while the live music is quite good and the bar staff very pleasant I found the security staff to be very aggressive and menacing looking to visitors. Are they really necessary? read more
