Quick info
About Molly Malone's Irish Tavern
Molly Malone's Irish Tavern is a live music bar in Sheffield, on West St at 140-144, and it opens daily. A live band plays at the venue, and a DJ spins 70s and 80s music as part of the lineup. Trivia nights run alongside the music, and beer and sports on TV round out the evenings for a late-night crowd. The tavern pours Guinness in the Irish bar tradition. A bouncer works the door, and the door staff check group sizes in the line.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the atmosphere, describing a lively, welcoming bar with old school music and affordable drinks. A Guinness left to settle and topped with a clover is singled out, and a few mention friendly bar staff, clean toilets and old fashioned bouncers who looked after a family night out. Live music draws mixed comment. One reviewer wants the band to come on earlier and stay later, and another objects that the DJ refused a Taylor Swift request while sticking to 70s and 80s tracks. The door draws the sharpest complaints. One reviewer reports being aggressively pushed by a bouncer after asking to speak to a manager about a queue miscommunication. Another says a group of six was refused entry over a limit of five after almost an hour in line, while larger groups were let in, and calls it racist. A third reports a friend being called a homophobic slur inside. Several regulars still describe feeling safe and welcome, and one recalls a Saturday afternoon pint of Guinness shared with his wife.

“Great bar with an amazing atmosphere, drinks are not a bad price, toilets are clean and the whole venue is lovely, only downside is side is the live band could come on a little earlier and stay on for later as they would in Ireland”

“The DJ said he didn’t want to play Taylor swift because he was only doing 70s and 80s, despite having just played a girls aloud song… surely he is being paid to keep the audience happy? Maybe he should think about that next time rather than worry about his ego 🤔”
