Malarky's Irish Pub

Been here for years but first time since they did the patio.
I brought my pup to sit in that closed off patio. It was a warm patio which is nice. The food was good. I usually order prime rib dip but since it is taco Thursday so we had a bunch of Taco!!! They were good. Also order Mint Splitz cocktail, I didn’t taste the alcohol tho, just syrupy.

Don't go here unless you want assaulted by employees

Food and staff are 10/10. Always a fun place to go with the boys to enjoy some Happy Dad. Must stop by if you’re in Newport Beach!

Probably not a shocker. Stopped here to meet with coworkers prior to dinner at another location. Everyone got their drinks and orders. I just got in and needed some water prior to ordering anything. Asked the first waitress twice and she forgot. She did bring everyone else their drinks. 2nd waitress same thing forgot but brought everyone else their drinks. When I called it out in a firm tone, there was no apology or anything, just “I’ll bring you a water”. Coincidence that I am literally the only minority in the group? Honestly not surprised. If your skin color is anything but white, don’t bother coming here but I know pretty much all of OC knows this. We all decided to get up and leave earlier than expected…. This was during the week at 2-3 pm where it was literally dead, maybe 5 customers total in the location.

First Visit to this Pub and it was slow at 3:30pm Monday. Ciara was a wonderful server—warm, friendly, and helpful! Vibe is def bar/pub. Got the popcorn chicken (wish I had gotten the pic-I got sidetracked discussing the appearance with the manager, who was very gracious and offered to exchange it). Tiny, tiny pieces, not what I expected, but I didn’t want to waste it…so I kept it and made due. I might try it again and get something else. Good Happy Hour options and Daily Specials. See the menu pictures I posted. There’s a decent amount of parking spots in the side lot marked for this place.

Great experience from start to finish! Gavin, the gentle giant in the parking lot was welcoming and immediately made me feel that my car was secure. Trustworthy! Ciera was great on her first day with inspiration from Chelsea. Jeffery got the game I wanted to see from a perfectly comfortable seat. I enjoyed the best Casidia in my life. The steak was juicy and full of flavor! The atmosphere is reminiscent of real Irish pubs on the Emerald Isle itself.

Great Newport local spot with excellent food and drinks. Service is with a smile and I never miss this spot when I'm in town. They just completed a new addition/ enclosed patio for additional seating and TV'S. Looking forward to many good times on the patio.

Malarky’s is Newport Beach’s loud, lovable chaos, an Irish pub colliding with a dive bar and doubling as the ultimate beach-after-party spot.
Strong drinks, greasy grub, and harbor views set the scene.
Tony’s fast pours and sharper wit keep the place afloat, but it’s his easy charm and top-notch service that will make your night unforgettable.
You’ll leave with a story, a regret, or both, but never bored.
Stop by for a drink and savor the quintessential SoCal vibe at its finest.
