Molly Malone's Tavern reviews
4 Star Review by David Bang
Foods were great especially the chicken wings with hot sauce was one of the best chicken wings that i've ever had! For the rump steak, it was a little bit over cooked for a medium rare but still very good. The atmosphere of the pub itself was very nice as well!
5 Star Review by Richard Z
Amazing guiness on tap and parmy special is very filling. Happy hour is also a great deal for crackin a cold one after work
1 Star Review by Dan
Drove here last night to meet a few friends after working on the bank holiday. It was around 10, tried to walk in, didnt see the bouncer, apologised and stepped back. Waited for a group of people to pass. It was cold so I asked if I could go in now. This guy was stammering and seemed to slur a little. He asked if I had been drinking, I said no I just drove in, he tried to ask a follow up question. But was a long time to get his words out ? I asked if he was alright, he told me to watch it and that I could somewhere else tonight. Usually I wouldnt bother writing something up here, But when your the designated driver whos just drove in to meet a few friends and get them home safe, is there any point anyone going ?

Food and service were good .toilets a disaster. Glass on the ground overflowing urinal, to small for the amount of people in the joint. A lot of money spent on the fit out but this let it down.

5 Star Review by Sydney Meetup
Another great venue with terrific hospitality from the Thomas Hotels Group! A fortnight later at Coach & Horses, Molly Malone's had an easy process of booking our large group for casual drinks. Shout out to Anthea and her crew as well as Katie and the staff on the evening for the friendly service. Love the quaint wooden interiors to give it a classic tavern feel.
3 Star Review by Mohaymen Shoaib
Old school pub. Excellent service. Drinks price is decent! They do play live music, which is a plus.
1 Star Review by Bob B
Terrible. Jan 23 update. They've reopened post covid. New staff with poor English and clueless on drinks sizes and names,. Just point to bar pumps and use sign language for "big" or " small" glasses. Good was VERY disappointing. The "Cumberland" sausages and mash seemed to be microwaved with painted on bar b que stripes. The first set were cold the second set hot but rubbery. Always a shame to see a well run business trashed by poor staff and rubbish food.
5 Star Review by Cassandra Woodfield
We had our work function at Molly's in December and from the moment we made contact with Anthea we felt like special guests (you know, not just another group booking). Anthea was really friendly and SO HELPFUL. The event ran smoothly, Anthea checked in on everything and the function canapes were generously sized and really tasty. The chef even catered for our special dietary requirements. There was no issue at all even with my many many emails and calls and questions. Everyone has given really positive feedback. Thank you so much Anthea and team at Molly's for making our end of year party AWESOME!!!
