The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.
If Guinness and U2 are Ireland’s biggest two exports, the ‘Irish bar’ surely takes the final place on the podium. In any city in the western world, one finds the reassuring presence of such an institution: sporting jerseys on the walls, Sky Sports and an interior of dark wood and emerald green. Molly Malone’s does all this. It’s big, clean and bright, with lots of seating. Live Irish bands at weekends and rugby or football matches (especially those of a certain local team that wears green) are the best times for a buzz. Food is straight up: potato skins smothered in cheese and chilli, deep-fried haggis balls with a whisky(ish) dipping sauce to start, steak pies, Irish stew or pork sausages and mash for mains. Burgers and wraps, too. It’s all reasonable stuff, filling and comforting in the way it should be. You know what you’re getting in an Irish bar and Molly Malone’s gives it to you well.

Quite a nice pub with some good food. We used to enjoy an Irish stew in there quite often. We also used to like going in there for a quiet drink on week nights after the cinema but not much recently.
Despite all its charms two things let it down. The service is sometimes poor during the day. I started to lose patience watching the staff chatting. Also it's unreliable on week-nights. Most of the time when we want a quiet drink on a week night we go round and it's often closed. Sometimes quite early.
Well worth a visit for some decent food, good guiness or to watch some sports but you'll need some patience.
