But I've grown to like that as it now fills me with joy that the pub wont be full of you know whats. Once the deathly silence is broken and you rock over to the bar to grab a beer you feel instantly at home. Definitely cheaper than town, they are friendly. Flick's right - don't take a load of mates (and definitely not mates who are obviously students) as its insults the local community. And rightly so. This was my place to avoid the college crowd - the No one will ever find me here, and even if they do, I can set my new friends the locals on them to drive them away.

Although it's not advertised as such, this is very Irish themed, with music, drinks and decor all creating an (I assume) Irish experience. You can sit outside in the summer in a lit seating areas and there's a very popular darts board. It's best not to invade with lots of obvious tourists or students, as this is where locals come to relax. They're a friendly bunch though and will probably invite you to join the game or let you have a go when they're done. The prices are reasonable and cheaper than many places in Oxford, but note that (at the time of writing, at least) they don't accept cards.

It has that classic Oxford pub atmosphere that makes it worth visiting, especially if you're showing someone around the city or looking for a casual drink in a historic setting. There are outdoor tables, seating inside, and a smaller section in the back. During peak hours, it can get quite packed, so it is not always the easiest place to grab a table, but that also adds to the energy of the place. Overall, I would not necessarily come here expecting the best pub food in Oxford, but for the atmosphere, location, and quintessential Oxford experience, it is absolutely worth a stop.

We were a larger group with children in tow, and kept lucking out with the long table in the first room on the left. It does get rather busy at peak hours, but if you're patient or come at off peak hours, you'll snag a seat just fine. The fish & chips were a standout from all other fish & chips I had that trip.

Put it this way, if this pub was in London they'd be queuing round the block to get in every night. The actual building is 17thC and there's been a pub on site for over three hundred years now. In it's latest incarnation (of must be getting on for twenty years or so now) it's also known as Milk Street Brewery. Yup, it's got it's own brewery out back - and the beers are a small but select range of utterly delicious ales. The most famous is the aptly named 'Beer' beer, and Funky Money, also Zig-Zag are highly reccomended too. I can't wait to try this season's new brew 'Bobbled', launching on 1st December. I don't know how they manage to pack in so much. There are music nights, quiz nights, 'event' nights, and a children-welcome policy of usually up top about 9pm. There's even a small but delightful beer-garden out back for smokers. Buy the t-shirt and drink the pint - and if you catch Sausage Sunday you'll be glad you did. Great atmosphere in this Bohemian quarter of the old town (this happens to be my 'local' of choice, being under two minutes walk away. Yesssss!) Highly reccomended!

Firstly, I have had to create a new, anonymous account to write this review as the patrons and…read moremanager of this establishment threatened me. This is a homophobic pub with a some nasty regulars and a hostile manager (Darryl). Until tonight, I loved Molly Malones. It was my favourite pub in Hitchin. I attended a few times a month watch live sport. I met some lovely people, especially around the pool table. I went tonight to watch the PSG vs Chelsea game, and ended up playing poker with a couple of lovely guys, and the manager, Darryl, who turned out to be not so lovely. After the football, whislt I was at the bar, another patron shouted out 'Chelsea Nonce'. This is an offensive homophobic slur when connected to football, as evidenced by the conviction of Joey Barton who repeatedly used it on social media. I politely but firmly told the guy that was not okay. He got aggresive and told me to 'F' off. He then said it again. I reitereated that his language wasn't okay, and said I'd call the police if he said it again. He said it again. I dialled 999. At this point the manager (Darryl) asked me to leave the pub and took my drink away (I had just bought him a pint). He said he was removing me from the premises 'for my own safety'. The police attended. The said that 'nonce' was not a slur. I advised them to educate themselves, They were rude and dismissive. Darryl appeared at the door, grinning, and invited the officers into the pub. They left within 2 minutes, and reported on their radio that no offence had been comiited. I got their badge numbers and names and have made a complaint to Hertfordshire police. The police officers advised me that if I was now unwelcome in the pub, if I didn't move on and a complaint by the manager was made, I would be moved on by them forcefully. This is NOT an LGBTQ friendly pub. It's NOT a friendly pub at all under it's current management. Have a look at the other poor reviews for this pub and how the manager responds. J

It's situated on Nightingale road a little out of the centre of town but is well worth seeking out. The staff are very friendly, the beer is good and the whole atmosphere of the place is great. They show the footie when it's on and have live bands from time to time plus events such as party night on Halloween and New Year etc. It's not a particularly big place so it can get a little crowded at peak times. There's a little courtyard out the back for smokers but you couldn't really call it a beer garden. Parking can be problematic around here but there are soem free parking slots across the road next door to the petrol station. Go on - give Molly's a go - you'll come back again
