Malones Irish Bar in Edinburgh

No food. Strictly a sports pub. Atmosphere always energetic and friendly. Great bartenders. Great location right on the corner. Great place to meet people and have lively conversation.

Great pub atmosphere! Good service and tasty beer and whiskey. It was crowded with locals and vacationers. The music was loud and the crowd was fun.

Fantastic good old fashioned pub. Staff are very welcoming and friendly. Beer is good. Atmosphere is as a pub should be...noisy with people enjoying themselves..but lots of respect and thought for those around you. Will certainly come back again

A nice pub but you should expect Irish music from the live act. Sunday 19 June 2020 and the performer was playing Kenny Rogers and other old, old classics. Good songs in the right environment but not for an Irish bar. Really poor.

We came here for toilet, but K just figured there has live band playing…Nice pub for having pint and watching gamesGreat selection of beers, drinks and food , good looking bar, kind and friendly staffs. Highly recommended if you want to have a relax night with some live band, here is an extremely great choice.

Nice wee pub. Bar staff are nice. Popped in for a Liverpool game, great atmosphere. Good selection of Irish drinks, be nice to see some craft beer choices though.I'd certainly go back for another football game.

Great atmosphere, good Guinness, staff are great craic. Nice screens for sport. Live music and opens late.

The food is banging. The portions are huge and well worth the money. I would tell anyone to visit this pub because it's a good place to chill out/vibe to eat, watch sports etc

Came to Edinburgh for my Birthday and spotted this pub just opposite the hotel I was staying at.Its fair to say that it was one of the best nights I have ever had. Band called The Guiness Brothers were playing and it was a great atmosphere, certainly come back on next visit!

Music is very noisy. Not somewhere for a quiet drink as there are football games/ sports played on TV here. There is a lot of seating but it's still quite busy, especially at peek drinking times. There is outdoor seating for smoker's, with a canopy so you don't get soaked which I thought was great.I wouldn't call this place expensive in regards to the price of alcohol in the capital city. I think all bars/ clubs in Edinburgh are overpriced.The outdoor seating is not solely for smokers, ur just so happened to be reading so it was only smokers outside at that present time. Many other times, on a sunny day it looks really pleasant to sit outside and enjoy a beverage alcoholic or not. You cam just order a coffee here, however, I wouldn't recommend if that's what you'd liked to do then here's probably not the best place to but you can.I think the crowd Malones attracts now is different under the previous management (Diane's pool hall). As I am no pool fan I didn't frequent this venue previously. I would return here but it would probably be better in a group of friends, rather than just two people. My expectations were it would be more Male orientated than it was. It was a great mix of people; males, females, under 25s, over 50s, tourists also.The noise level is the only reason I would be inclined not to come here in the evening, or when there's sports on. It's lovely when the sun is out and sitting outside with a refreshing drink.I'm sure there's an upper level, although I've never ventured that far, probably should. Although someone told me they serve food upstairs? I can't be certain, however, I certainly haven't saw food downstairs. Also I've not used their toilet facilities yest shl can't comment on that.Overall it was pleasant, friendly staff, fairly quick service considering how busy it was, not over priced, quirky interior, outdoor seating is always a bonus for me. I couldn't spend a whole evening here, after 2 or 3 drinks the noise is too much. Great to check it out now it's under new management.
