Great atmosphere and food.

Great casual Irish pub! I love the outdoor eating area, and the beer selection. Only weakness is the food quality past appetizers. Edit: I will continue to update this review as I sample the menu. This is one of the few restaurants I can eat at due to a soy allergy, as they do not fry in soybean oil!Food: All of their appetizers are great, but a lot of their food fare isn't very good unless you're eating after you're 2+ beers in. Scotch egg isn't a true scotch egg, but still decent. Fish and chips are classic, steak fries are reliable. They know how to fry food well. The bangers and mash are very difficult to stomach, which was a disappointment as I love making this dish at home! The staff are mindful if you ask for food restrictions. Even if this business is more well known for its bar, it's important for a pub to have quality food as good as its alcohol.Service: No critiques! The staff is extremely friendly and kind (if you can, be courteous and tip them well).Atmosphere: it's a warm, brighter lit Irish pub. Lounge chairs, booths, high tables and small tables are available. My favorite seating is the outdoor patio. This spot seems popular and cozy for older crowds (think the cracker barrel crowd if they were fun), and is good for chill sports viewing. Despite the potential for clash, this is also a comfortable spot for younger, non-sporty folks to grab a pint in a booth.Dietary restrictions: I am allergic to soy. As of 3/25/2024 this business does not fry in soybean oil or oil that contains soybean oil. Be mindful and ask if other ingredients contain additives. The wait staff are very kind and will be helpful with whatever dietary restrictions you have.Parking: There is a parking lot behind the building.Wheelchair accessibility: This business is not very wheelchair accessible when alone. The building has a tall staircase in front, but has a flat entrance from the rear parking lot. The doors are not motorized for wheelchair accessibility. The restaurant seating is crowded at wheelchair height (small tables, lounge tables, booths). A wheelchair user *may* have to sit at a table that is in a walk path for servers, which could be uncomfortable for both the patron and others.

I’ve been all over the country to many Irish pubs. This is the first time my bartender was from the old country. Chips and curry + the best Shepard pie over ever had. Live music, great food and drinks, outdoor seating and bars in the warmer months. Molly Malone’s is the best!

Arrived with a group of 6 friends on a Thursday night to listen to some great live music. We ended up in one of the large booths at the back of the restaurant for our fun 2-hour visit; however, outdoor seating was also available on this warm spring evening. Ordered a Harp draft beer and a Scotch egg. Table mates ordered shareable appetizers of fried pickles, pretzel bites, and Brussels sprouts as well as a Guinness draft. Our server was terrific and he was like a one-man show doing a fine job of being every where all at once. Had a great time enjoying the music and upbeat atmosphere.

Over all everything was very good. But, the batter on the fish was pretty tasteless. And, the fries weren't spiced at all. But, portions were generous, and the quality of the fish was perfect. The "Buffalo Wings" were really good as well.
