Had a great experience with good food. Service was very quick and attentive. Got the fish and chips, food came out exactly as expected and was very good. Short wait for food too. Bar was busy but got drinks out quick. Nice Irish Pub that I'll be back to. Highly recommend.

Stopped in for a quick bite. Quite, clean, and quick service. We enjoyed a fig pizza, prime rib french dip, and Irish spring rolls(AMAZING). The fig pizza was balanced. The ingredients were distributed just right. All flavors in each and every bite. The French dip- prime rib cooked to perfection, and the au jus was a fabulous complement. Spring rolls with corned beef, I mean, how can they not be spectacular!! We ended the meal with the bread pudding. It was OK. I like mine a bit more moist. Good meal and friendly. Enjoying life 1 sip, 1 bite and 1 small town at a time. Explore everything!!

Phenomenal. We loved everything. We got the Irish Spring Rolls, the pretzel and beer cheese, the wings with spicy garlic, and the Fig It pizza. I would love to come back to try their regular menu!

Great food, service, and atmosphere. The full Irish breakfast is 10/10 and the pudding is better than any ive ever had, to include Ireland itself! The wife loved the mimosas as well! Always worth a stop in for a meal and a pint!

Thursday night is music night at Molly Malone’s. We enjoyed a bluegrass quartet. The music started at 6:30. Molly’s is a place to watch sporting events. Soccer is the main event. It’s a warm and cozy, friendly vibe. They have outdoor seating. Upstairs has two floors that can be rented for your event. Elevator to reach the higher floors. Lots of beers on tap. I always get a Harp here, as not too many places have this Irish favorite. We shared a watermelon salad. The watermelon was so flavorful. I got the fish and chips entree. They do a perfectly cooked fish.

First time to Cincinnati and went for a walk. Found this gem. Great food, great service and friendly people. The Ruben is one of the better ones I've ever had. Thank you Tracy.

Fairly busy at the time we went so it wasn't super often that the wait staff was able to come by and check on us but they were all friendly. I appreciated that whilst we had a specific server other staff would ask us if we needed drink refills when they passed our table on the patio. Food was really really excellent, I had a hard time choosing what I wanted to order because several things sounded amazing and my expectations were surpassed by my meal. Patio area was very clean and all the outdoor furniture was in great condition which isn't always the case. I'd absolutely recommend this pub/restaurant to anyone.
