About Molly Malone’s Irish Pub
Molly Malone's is an Irish-themed pub on the corner of Flinders and Wickham streets, in the heritage-listed former Tattersalls Hotel. The current two-storey brick building dates from 1899, and the pub took its Irish theme and name around 1999. Inside are dark-panelled bars, a beer garden and courtyard, pool tables and function space.
Live music runs on Fridays and Saturdays, with trivia on Thursdays, open mic comedy every second Thursday and Irish jam sessions in the courtyard on the second Saturday of the month. On Friday and Saturday nights it trades until 3am, with bands and DJs.
