Fish and chips!
Jimmy C.

Irish pub right by the water?? Strong drinks and hearty food to cap off the end of beach day! Came by Sunday afternoon and they had a 90s cover band rocking out the hits! Fish and chips is any easy go to and friendly waitresses make it fun place to forget about anything and everything that may be bothering you.

Fish Haddock and Chips Cole slaw!!
Sean W.

We ordered the fish and chips and potato skins. Fish and chips served with Cole slaw was really good. Cole slaw in my opinion was delicious. Potato skins seemed undercooked for my liking. Service was excellent she took care of us well. My only complaint was the loud mouths at the bar area was hard to get passed and quite obnoxious for being older grown men??? What ever. I have low tolerance.. sorry

This Irish Pub has been around for years in the heart of Main Street of Seal Beach I've been coming here since I was a young man with my family. I have always looked forward to visiting this treasure, the dining room is pretty nice and rustic Irish setting, the customer service is excellent the staff is very welcoming and friendly, the Guinness on tap is out of this world delicious when it comes to the entrées and appetizers they are pretty good not the best but good. I recommend if you are in the Area stop by and check this joint out and relax and have some fun.

We didn't eat we just ordered drink but we like time service from the bartender and we like the music, we went on Sunday and tgey had a band.

The beef dip sandwich at O'Malley's on Main was good, but what really takes the cake for me (pun intended), was their Chocolate Guinness Cake, which was absolutely delicious, rich, and flavorful - especially with the strawberries. I loved the cozy, rustic atmosphere and the woodwork that decorated the place. I need to try a drink at the bar next time!

We have been to O' Malley's on Main before. Located on in Main Street in Seal Beach ) the quaint street of local shops and restaurants across the street from the pier), this place is pretty popular. Each time we've come it has been packed. This is an Irish pub complete with beamed ceiling, wood arches and a fireplace. There's are banquettes upholstered in the perfect fabric and banners advertising beers strung from the ceiling. Parts are a little worse for wear, but that hasn't affected it's charm. There is a bit of a surprise that you can't see when you walk in--a charming patio complete with a fireplace and wishing well covered with vines. Unfortunately, they weren't seating on the patio. Our server was very sweet and attentive even though she was clearly very busy. The menu is what you'd expect in an Irish pub, traditional Irish food--shepherds pie, boxty, fish and chips, and corned beef and cabbage. Of course there are wings and burgers, too Between the four of us, we had the salmon boxty, fish and chips, shepherds pie, and a burger. Everything was good, although the burger came out cold. Like always, there was no room for dessert.

Good brunch....bloody Mary's were very good... the Irish eggs Benedict wee outstanding with the corned beef hash...the spinach florentine Benedict was also delicious...a ton of food...potatoes were above average, nothing to be excited about...service was good, waitress came around several times to make sure all was well...ambiance is an Irish pub, nothing special here, have been to many better as far as decor goes but. The food is definitely worthwhile...

Irish Coffee on a rainy day

Been coming here for years and it's pretty consistent with drinks, food and all around great pub feel! Was raining today so wanted to come in for breakfast and sit by fireplace. Service was good and overall cost was not too bad! Tables were sticky and obviously could've used a good wipe down but other than the hat, I do enjoy coming here.

I had Irish Stew and my husband had fish and chips.It was delicious! Friendly service,it was a little slow because it was the weekend so to be expected! It was about a 10 minute walk from our hotel (Galway Bay).Highly recommend!

I spent a Friday evening walking around Seal Beach with my in-laws. After our walk, my mother-in-law suggested we stop by O'Malley's for dinner. She loves ordering the fish and chips, but always substitutes the regular fries for sweet potato fries. I opted for the corned beef and cabbage, which came with a creamy white gravy that complemented both the cabbage and meat perfectly. The service was excellent -- our waitress checked on us several times and kept our waters refilled. The ambiance was typical of an Irish pub. It's one of my mother-in-law's favorite spots to visit after her walks in Seal Beach.

Irish beef stew
Gretchen R.

We had a great weeknight dinner here. The fish and chips come with a big slab of fish, not little fish sticks. Just like when I visited Ireland! The beef stew is very tasty, I wish it was lamb instead of beef, but that's not a deal breaker. Friendly service and accommodating for kids. Lots of free street parking at night. A little harder to find parking in the day due to beach goers.

Our server was awesome and friendly. I had the tater tots and tomato bisque. Both were delicious and flavorful. The beer was cold. The ambiance was very much like being in a pub in Ireland. I felt at home!

Chris Smith on that gorgeous bass, provided the PA and equipment for the backline. Thank you Chris…read moreand to all of the performers. Everyone brought their " A" game for this tribute, despite the downpour on Nov 15, 2025. Malainey's Grill and One Hell of an Irish Bar supported this event. The staff took great care of us all with delicious food and beverage service. Thank you to everyone who played and attended. There was nothing but love for Texas Songbird Sherry Pruitt. We are forever grateful to Owner Patrick, Manager Jennifer and the wonderful staff at Malaineys for the help and support of this Celebration of Life for Texas Songbird Sherry Pruitt.

They have several booths along the window in which you can see the water and everyone out on their boats doing their thing and enjoying the sunshine in beautiful SoCal. I love me some dining with a view! They made some delicious cocktails. We haven't had a bad one yet. The food was good. My friend enjoyed her club sandwhich and potato skins. I got the lettuce wraps as I am trying to watch my carbs. The chicken was flavorful however, I only like 1 of the 3 sauces it came with (not a big deal though). They have a Sunday brunch that looked really good but we got there 30 minutes before it ended, so we will go back another time to try it. They told us the cost is $45 per person and there are unlimited mimosas available for $15.

A short walk away from the aquarium, shoreline village and pine st.

And since we first walked through the doors, we were in love. In love with the atmosphere, the perfectly pulled pints, the food (Dear God the Corned Beef Sandwich is a religious experience! ) and the characters of the staff. We've spent many occasions and life's moments here as well, From birthday dinners to at one time making it out Sunday Supper place to catch a traditional set and our dinner. The Sunday musicians are so good back in 2012 we hired a few to play at our engagement party, and brought a bit of the Auld Dub into our home. Today was no different, popped In for a family birthday celebration and stayed for a Sunday set. The music was fabulous the food amazing and the staff excellent! Ordered the usual: Curry Chips (cooked extra Well Done), and the best corned beef sandwich this side of the Atlantic! It's served perfectly on a crunchy swirled rye bread with an amazing apple jam of apples and caramelized onions. Just excellent! We also ordered an Irish Full Breakfast, which my soul craves every now and then! Basically you can't go wrong eating here.

It was a hot one, but they had the AC running inside and that made drinking the green beer so enjoyable. The bartenders Evan and Britney were very nice and looked after me and everyone else I came up to the bar for beers, always asking if they wanted their beer green. Their food selection on that day was tremendously great. I had the corned beef on wheat bread and it was toast, toasted wheat bread to boot. With a cheese, and everything else that came with it, I was happily pleased with it all. Especially the carrot that tasted like pickled because it was laying on one. I will never forget that taste that I enjoyed so much on that day. The prices for beer are actually impressively cheap. I really have no complaints on this place and I think that what they do to get people's names on the wall for drinking 70 different beers from all around the world is really cool. I might have to try it one day. Thanks to all the people at Murphy's for putting on a great St. Patrick's Day for this fan. Oh, and by the way, they make such good popcorn. I used to have it at a different bar as a kid and then brought me back to those days.
