Molly Malone's

Music and sport

Bands play on Friday and Saturday nights from late evening, mixing Irish folk, trad and rock covers. The rest of the week the focus is on live sport, with Sky Sports and TNT Sports screens showing football and rugby, and NFL games on autumn Sundays. On big match days it gets busy, so arrive early if you want a seat with a view of the screen.

Food and space

As a Belhaven pub it serves Scottish pub food alongside the drinks, from late morning into the evening. Beyond the main bar there is a sports area, outdoor huts and a private dining space for groups. It has disabled access and free Wi-Fi. Coach parties are accepted, which says something about the size of the place.

Where it fits

Hope Street runs north from Central station towards the theatres, and the pub is a short walk from the Theatre Royal, The Pavilion and Sauchiehall Street. That makes it a natural pre-show drink or a place to land after a gig, with several city-centre hotels within a few hundred metres. Opening runs from late morning, making it a relaxed lunch option before the evening crowds.
