Nice joint. Bartending staff were cool and very insightful about the local beers they serve within the community. I was made a very nice old fashioned that was on point. Not sure if they serve finger foods. Was strictly there for the drinks. Nice place. Cant wait to return.

If you’re looking for a night out in Mountain View Mollys is the place to go. $7 cover on weekends but free if you get in before 9pm, with re-entry. The bouncers and bar tenders are awesome people who are passionate about the place they run and creating a fun atmosphere for clientele. 10/10

This place was my to go to bar for the music, and dance but I think that DJ is no longer there on Saturday nights. Its not too bad on Fridays, but I like Saturdays better.This was my second year visiting this bar for the new years. It was pretty cool. The bartenders were quick and efficient.

Quite lively on Fridays and Saturdays after 11 PM, though there is a cover. Theres a dance floor and pretty good dance music as well. In the mens bathroom, the urinals are just one giant trough, which was kinda cool at first, but now just kinda weird.

Always a wonderful time! Great environment where you can meet a lot of exciting and interesting people. It can get a little rowdy but the majority of patrons are nice and always a pleasure to interact with! Their choice of drinks are fantastic! Their indoor and outdoor bar settings allow you to enjoy two very different vibes to your evening out (and Saturdays in my opinion, is where its at)!

Review №22

An excellent, basic bar with good prices. They specialize in shots, beers on tap, and well drinks. They have a menu of mixed drinks, but the bartenders wont appreciate a complicated order while theyre busy. Theres a good back patio and plentiful seating all around. I got a gin and tonic for $7 and a radler on tap for $7, which was cheaper than I was expecting. My friends and I arrived early and enjoyed 2 hours of drinking with good 90s music in the background. We enjoyed that atmosphere and could still hold a lively conversation between a few people, but left before things got busier.

Review №23

Too crowded and crazy overpriced. They charge $11 for a pint of Guinness and $17 for a cocktail and then you have to drink your Guiness and cocktail standing up and holding your drink because there are no tables or seats anywhere. The crowd that hangs out here is typically pretty rude and inconsiderate. We had someone tell us we were standing in their way and were not really sure what to make of that. Do you see anywhere else to stand?

Loved it, loved the ambiance. Entry fee is 7 dollar and drinks are reasonable. Dj was not that great initially but later he played good songs .. speaker was good to got the full vibe for dancing. But they close half an hour before itself. Closing time is 2 am but they stopped playing music by 1.30 ..

This is the perfect place to get your annual allotment of Pliney the younger.. barely any line, and you have 2 weekends in a row to get some. otherwise thats used for quintessential pub, the back patio is very comfortable with heat lamps.

Honestly this bar is overrated now. Went there on a Thursday night and they couldn’t make me a margarita because they were out of mix. The old guy that was there was so rude and the girl was always so rude. Never coming back here. Plus the music was so boring. If I can give this place zero stars I would. Very disappointed

One of the best Irish pubs I have come across in Bay area. Crowd was trendy. Drinks were really good. Our bartender was really entertaining. This place has a dance floor which opens after 10 pm. The DJ played really awesome beats. We really had a good time there with Friends. This place has an entry cover of $5. I want to give one additional star for the trendy crowd that frequents this place.

Review №35

This is my favorite place in Mountain View to grab a drink. Reasons:Name: I’m Irish and love Irish pubs.Price: prices are reasonable for beer and spirits compared to other local places.Appearance: the interior has low lighting, nice large business sign, architecturally laid out in a way that makes sense. Two restrooms, pool table. Basic pub stuff, but well maintained.Accessibility/location: wheelchair accessible, downtown Mountain View, so close to everything really.Toilets: not sure about the women’s room, but mens has a single stall for dropping that unexpected steamin demon. Trough style urinal so you can make friends.Beer/spirit selection: full bar with all your typical spirit selections. I drink Guinness, and it taste great here, they also know how to pour a proper Guinness. They mix up their taps with some local craft beer as well as having your run of the mill brewski selection if you are on a budget.Atmosphere: great, good energy, good vibes, good diversity. I never see crazy drunks or violent people. Granted, I’m not there in the late evening.Website: could use improvement. Not sure if it’s maintained or not.Activities: to my previous point about their website, I’m not sure what activities they have. Last update I see on Facebook is from May.Service: I often find that the bar tenders have good energy, are helpful, and get to people in a timely manner.

Solid establishment thats been around for years. Prices are reasonable, and the people are generally friendly. Friday and Saturday nights are more for dancing, so the space is very different than during the week

Review №37

A pub living in the 2010s with terrible service and bouncers that have ego issues. Honestly save yourself some money and time by going to any other bar but this one. Their menus don’t even have prices and everything is overpriced. Their bouncers are literally like 10 year old boys living in the bodies of 50 year old men, huge egos and no respect for customers. Worst bar I’ve been to in California

Fun place, plenty of locals. No drama and great seating! I wish they had the speakers reach the other end of the bar but I guess its not bad in terms of wanting to be a pub. The dance floor is nice , but it fills up quick and the time I went, there were some awful smelling people in there lol. Good local bar, make sure you get there around 10ish to lock down a seat !

Review №43

Its a good place to drink beer, and thats it. It has two entrance, one front, and one in the back. It will turn into a club later in night, so if you come early you wont pay the cover. It has a small dance floor though. Men need to pee in a tub 😂 which always feel weird for me. It doesnt have any sort of food options so, you might need to grab a snack a head of time.

Good bar! You can bring your own food or have it delivered since they dont have a kitchen. Decently priced drinks (~$6 for beer) and cover charge 9PM onwards. The dance floor gets crowded but overall a chill place.

Review №45

This place is the place for a good night out. They have good music and you dont have to wait a long time to get survived at the bar. The biggest plus for my group was that the entry cover fee is cheap at 7$. This place is really poppin Saturday nights. The only con I would say is that security is a bit aggressive when checking ID they ask you a ton of questions, but hey theyre doing their jobs. Overall place is great for a night of drinking and dancing, and the music is good. They mainly play hip hop some top 40s, and a little of Spanish reggaeton/hip hop.

Review №46

People are friendly and a great place to meet new people. The only downside to the bar is the back entrance when the bar turns into a night club at night. But this is not the bars fault, but its the city requirement and causes an inconvenience. Have had some good nights at this bar and met some great people.

Fun atmosphere with a small dance floor. Great for a casual night of drinks and dancing! Music was good as well, mainly top 40s with some throwbacks as well.Washrooms are a little small and dingy (warning for women), but overall enjoyed my time here and would go back!

0 stars if possible. The bouncer has an attitude problem and the drinks are so overpriced. Seriously avoid this place if you want any type of decent service. By far the worst of the worst place on Castro street, it’s not even close. It’s probably the worst bar in California. Save some money and go anywhere else

Review №57

This is the perfect four-star bar. The prices are right, and the company is good, so Im giving it an extra star.There are a lot of great Restaurants nearby that have Bars, but this is the best Bar on Castro. There is a large community of fun, nice regulars, with a good mix of those in, and outside of the Tech Crowd.The seats are not new, but thats a good thing: you know that they care about pouring drinks and taking care of customers, not trying to draw in fleeting trendy, drinkers (Steins takes care of this crowd just fine). The seats are comfortable, and all of them support my girth properly. Job Done.

Review №58

Been coming here for years and its one of my favorites. Most of the bar tenders are amazingly chill and I love all the sister Magee bars in Sunnyvale and Santa Cruz but this one has pool. I dont recommend dance nights Thursday-Saturday because personally the DJs arent great and its a tiny floor. Im not high class and prefer dive bars but it attracts the low class club type people who wont ever actually fight but love creating drama. Other than dance time though is the best.

Review №59

Not exactly a five star pub but we always have the best nights at Molly. The staff are so friendly and helpful, the booze is well stocked and there is a pool table with loads of locals. They dont serve food but you can bring food in and there is always football playing.

Review №60

Always crowded on weekend nights. There is no dress code and people come in all styles. Good or bad is your choice, but sometimes it gets a bit ghetto. Music is a mix of hip hop, house and top 40. The outdoor patio in the back is a nice quieter area.

Irish Pub, good choices of beer and they have a whiskey night. Food is pretty standard pub food and has stayed remarkably consistent over many years. Used to go there once a month but since we moved it is much harder to get by the old place. Drop in. Friendly staff good prices lots of TVs for sports.

Molly MaGees is kinda a shitty bar but I love it. The people are hit and miss but I usually have a pretty good time especially once the dance floor is filled. They play top 40 but its a good mix. I love the decor and lighting and the back patio is a nice alternative to relax and talk. Also easy access to exits which is great for smokers

Review №64

Full disclosure: I went with my uncle, whos installing a new jukebox.This was the first time I ever set foot in Molly Magees. Ive driven by many times but never went in (Im just not the bar type primarily because I cant STAND beer (except for use in a recipe or on my hair!) and dont do straight hard liquor (yuck!)).But I have to admit I was impressed. At the time of my visit (around 10:30 a.m.), the place was closed (thanks in part to COVID), but the owner, Liam Bafle, was hoping to open in time for St. Patricks Day. So I didnt see it as most would. I saw it in the full light of day...and, wow, was I impressed. Seriously, its a GORGEOUS pub. The atmospheric décor is perfect, and all that FABULOUS wood paneling and at the bar! Perfect. Oh, and the copper lincrusta on the upper portions of the walls--wonderful! It really is a lovely establishment (which may not be the sort of compliment one wants to hear about a BAR, but, well, the interior decorator in me couldnt help but be impressed).As to the sorts of things offered, well, there are plenty of tables for chatting with friends or coworkers at the end of a long day. Theres a pool table for those who enjoy the gentlemanly sport. Theres a dance floor (it lights up!) for dancing--and a DJ (youd need to check the days/hours for his schedule). Theres outdoor dining (dont know if theres food offered here, but I would assume at least appetizers) plus three of the biggest TV screens (also outside), plus (my uncle told me this--I didnt actually see it) an outdoor bar! And, of course, a new jukebox courtesy Steve Apker at Outer Limits Amusement Services (shameless familial plug, I know 😉).If youre looking for a way to unwind after work or maybe a get-to-know-you first date or whatever the occasion, try Molly Magees. It seems to me as if it would be a great place let off some end-of-the-workday/week steam or just to sample the various brews on tap (not that that would be MY preference, of course). Oh, and I should say that I mentioned Ive driven by numerous times--well, each time, the place has been PACKED and full of lively banter (which, yes, you can hear if you drive with the windows down), which seems to be a great advertisement to the places overall atmosphere. Its a popular destination.Side note: This would absolutely be a place Id love to use in one of my novels (yes, Im also an authoress (writing as A.J.)--my first novels just come out (yes, I know: shameless personal plug!)). I can already see it used in a date scene or maybe a murder mystery or... I dont often feel inspired to create a scene in most places I visit, but this place really did have such wonderful atmosphere. Id just have to get the owners permission. (Oh, and speaking of owners... If you love accents, youre in for a treat. Mr. Bafle has a LOVELY Irish brogue. You just cant help expecting to see one of the wee folk smoking a pipe and downing a Guinness at the bar! Its perfect!)

This has been for couple of years and currently one of my places to go to in south bay. Decent entry fee casual wear, really cool beats with variety of tunes different genre of music making it a good diversity in crowds, and in the back outside overhead heating spot w a bar to hang w friends and chill. Dance floor is cool as well yet gets crowded easily cuz it is small but ppl usually dance anywhere else they can.

Worst customer services ever. Avoid this place as much as you can.Happen to be in Mountain view area on Thursday night with girlfriend and wanted to have a drink at 1:15 am at this place.Since they were going to close at 1:30 am I though they will let us in to get our drink ,while in my surprise the bouncer told me that we have to pay the full night cover charge!!! I was like why?!! This is 1:15 am and you are going to close with in 15 minutes, So why should we pay the full cover charge?!!!!Well fortunately Albertos lounge was less than 100 feet from them and they happily gave us our drink and we enjoyed their music for couple of minuets too.

I came here on a Friday night with a friend, the music was great, they played current top 40’s and some HIP HOP, they also throw some 90’s hits. Drinks could be pricey, so I would recommend to get two or three shots before getting here. The only thing I was disgusted about was the crowd, I think 70 percent (generous calculation) of the girls and guys don’t wear deodorant, I am sure you have an idea which race and culture I am referring to. My friend and I could barely breathe on the dance floor, it was so sad to see stinky beautiful people, on top of that they were farting a lot. Next time I will go with a Febreze and start spraying at people armpits, if that could only be allowed .

One of the best clubs in the area with a great crowd and best DJs..Drinks are a little expensive but almost equal to the surrounding clubs..Cover charge is a little cheaper compared to other clubs nearby..

Good prices, fun vibe and DJ, nice bartenders, and most importantly for a bar, great security. I had a really rude crass guy approach my group and say inappropriate things, and one of the security guards noticed that the interaction seemed uncomfortable for us and immediately escorted the rude guy out of the bar. 100 for great awareness and quick action and plus 10 for wearing kilts.

Our bartender was a nice gentleman who cracked small jokes here and there (I think he was referencing a Leprechaun one time when I asked if he was the only one currently working that Monday night). He also covered our drinks while he allowed us to BYOF(food) from the Vietnamese restaurant across the street. Great space with a lot of seating options and games in the back (like billards!)

A pub with a lot of character. Go and check by yourself. A lot of beer to pick, a pool to play, and a dancefloor to make a fool out yourself (thats why bars are for, right). Definitely a place which You want to visit if youre in MTV and have a little bit of free time.

Nick is a gross bartender. I have him a twenty and he changed me for $10.Do NOT patronize this business if you weren’t born and raised in the Bay Area. They discriminate against “non-natives” while at the same time lacking appreciation for the added business we give them by being in the Bay Area.

I wish this place was more like Fibbar MaGees, but no dice. Castro could really benefit from another chill place to have a drink, but alas, there is only Bierhaus. Mollys could be that place if you come at the right time. The beer selection is excellent, and if you happen by when there isnt a game playing, or a DJ playing, its pretty good. But otherwise, there are bouncers, cover-charges and dress-codes which is utterly bizarre to me. Honestly, if you want a pounding DJ and a dress code, Opal is just down the road...

If I recall correctly, two beers cost me $22 plus tip. Between that, the congestion on the streets around it, and the 15 minutes it took to find parking, skip this place.

The favorite local pub. The staff is great and always do their best to attend to the customers. The dance floor is small yet it always fills up. That says something 😉

I was there on a Sunday night, the bar tender started to shout at one of the customers and said until that guy leaves I wont serve to anyone!! Why do I have to do feel the tension if the bar tender is not ok with a customer?!?

If I can give them no stars I would their dress code policy is listed nowhere on their website and we drove quite a ways just to get there only to be told we couldn’t get in because my brother was wearing cotton pants seriously bs I’d give them zero stars if I could

Sunday to Wednesday is the best time to go. The bartenders are all amazing especially will and Desmond. Wednesday is the best time to go as its whiskey Wednesday.

Meh. It was ok but know theres no food, and the bartender cant make an Old Fashioned. That said, they have Pliney the Elder on tap so it kinda makes up for the lack of food

A fun place to hang out, and a lot bigger inside than it looks outside. Just be aware they dont serve food - you have to bring your own.

If youre looking for a quiet place to drink Mollys is great just be sure to leave before 9, thats when it turns in to a club.

Not what it used to be, it even felt a little unfriendly towards those of us of the hispanic type. Per haps it was just towards me. In that case, I cant blame them.
