Molly Malone's Irish Pub — Restaurant in Amsterdam

DO NOT EAT CAKE HERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES

I made the diabolical mistake of eating a slice of cake outside sat on the benches. My partner had gone inside to get a couple of drinks (worst pour of Guinness ever), and I was beginning to tuck into a slice of cake I had bought from a lovely bakery nearby which I sadly can’t remember the name of. I moved to sit under the covered benches because it started to rain and put myself into the eye of Sauron’s line of fire. The big rude bartender proceeded to lecture me in an intimidating manner about eating said cake here, saying that he would let me off because his boss (😱) wasn’t around, and continued to lecture me even after I informed him my partner was buying drinks inside - I wasn’t a intending to eat there without buying anything because that, of course, would be rude. My partner comes out with drinks, bartender continues ranting and says to him that it’s just “common sense” not to eat on other premises which, yeah, I get but that cake was getting inhaled in two minutes.

In all seriousness, it’s a bit much to come outside and start raising your voice at a young woman sat on her own who’s just trying to enjoy her sweet treat and raise her very low blood sugar. I felt very much spoken down to as if I was a child, and honestly left feeling incredibly demeaned

After reading other reviews on here that seem to pertain the same bartender, I am very surprised he is still employed.

Guys and gals, if you’re trying to have a pleasant time in Amsterdam do not visit this pub and DO NOT eat cake on...

I might be biased: I like a whiskey and they have more than 70 on the shelves, but Molly Malone's caught my attention for other reasons as well. Starting with the atmosphere. This place is located in one of the most crowded and touristy parts of Amsterdam, so don't expect it to be the hole in the wall kind of place it seems. It will most likely be busy and filled with English-speaking tourists whereas spotting a local will be hard. The vibe inside is buzzing because of that, but it gives you a sense of being in England, Scotland, or Ireland for just a moment. Order their spareribs, they're amazing, with a pint of Magners to add to that feeling.

Avoid this place during rugby-season. Not only will it be so packed that getting in is almost impossible, the crowd will be more rowdy than usual resulting in you going deaf and getting a drink in relative peace will be...

It was a place I passed when I first set foot in Amaterdam. I must definitely state that the owners and staff of the place are very sweet people! I think their customers are also quality people. Because I was there for almost 3 years of my stay and all of them have a very pleasant conversation. The man I met on the first day was also very sweet. However, I was tired and could not chat much. If you see me, wave goodbye ahahah 🌈❤️ :) Let's get back to our topic; The place is really beautiful, the environment is very nice. However, it does not accept visa and master cards for payment. It's good to know this. But don't be slow, the operator is a very diverse person and he shows you the nearest ATM and waits for you, it's not a problem. Definitely for a beer! By the way, I think the prices are...
