Went in for drink after dinner, there was Celtic game on so unless you were there for food, you had to sit upstairs or roof terrace, so no live music up there. Roof terrace was nice. Loved they had proper Tayto crisps too. Good atmosphere. Loved the newspaper wallpaper in toilets.

Reviews
We ate here today, and I have to honestly say it was delicious. The best thing I ate in my three days in Scotland. I'd love to come back next time. Greetings from Germany
Read on Google MapsWe visited Malone’s Irish Bar last week when in Glasgow. We stopped in to watch the Liverpool v Spurs match. They serve a really good Guinness. Great atmosphere and friendly service. Only downside was the kitchen closed at 7:30pm but they allowed us to order in food which was nice. We really enjoyed our visit to this pub.
Read on Google MapsBeen waiting to try Malone's since I heard they had opened their Guinness roof too bar. Excellent pint of Guinness great quality of food, they had no cheese but the dish did not need it. We were there early doors so not that busy, but will return for a night visit and can imagine it's jumping. The staff was helpful and very friendly. Hidden away from the main streets but well worth the walk from both queens street and central stations to experience this unique bar.
