Molly MaGees

Been here twice now, as they have my favorite beer, Pliny the Elder, on tap. Same bar tender, both times, cool dude, thats always attentive. Dive bar feel with pool table.

We came here on a Friday night and it took a while to pick up but it became very lively around 12. When you come in there are several security guards, some nicer than others. They will pat you down for weapons which is actually kind of nice and there was a 7 dollar cover. The ambiance is of a dive but a dive that aspires to be a night club. Very small dance floor but a nice outside patio area with its own tiny bar in the back. When I first got there I stood at the bar when no one else was and was maybe 3 feet away from what I'm pretty sure was the owner or manager. He was really into talking to the other bar tenders who were cleaning and not paying attention to people who wanted drinks. He walks away then comes back and still doesn't ask me for my order!?! It was over 7 minutes to get my first drink and the manager was literally right infront of me chatting it up. When I did finally get a drink it was insanely over priced 10 bucks for a modelo! All in all it was decent people watching for a small bit of time but I would never throw my money away here in the future. the cost of drinks with a cover is high way robbery. We only came here on a fluke because it seemed interesting from the outside. Also why is it trying so hard to be a pub? This is the most non Irish bar I've ever been to except for the shamrocks thrown around randomly here and there. So strange to me. We originally went in here because we thought it was an Irish pub but ended up being a weird pseudo night club ‍

The service was fast and good.It's a nice Irish pub . Had a nice vibesRestrooms were clean and the seating area was well maintained. The music was good too. Although as the night went on , there were way too many Spanish songs back to back which might not be fun for folks who don't understand Spanish (aka me) Did not try the food options here .

FYI I am only reviewing the Guinness here, the pub itself was decent and nice, and the bartender was a cool, Irish man. I've been on the hunt for a good pint since visiting Ireland (as all people do when they get a taste of it from its home). I liked the traditional pour... but that was about it. The glass wasn't completely clean, there were bubbles in the head, it just tasted like a decent can of Guinness, and, worst of all, it was not an Irish pint (sorry I must sound pretty pretentious right now). Basically it's $8 for a glass of Guinness that tastes exactly like a $2 can at home.

This is a decent spot. There weren't any lines but had a good amount of people and I wanted to check it out. There's a pool table and a small dance floor that gets pretty crowded. The DJ played pretty good music. They specialize in well drinks, beers on tap and shots, and we really never had to wait too long for a bartender to order something.

2.5 stars: I dislike this dive bar for a number of reasons. The demographic is a bit older; it's not a trendy and hip spot for 20/30 somethings. It's very dark and hard to see anything inside.Their drink Irish collins tastes pretty bad. It has too much gin and it overpowers the whole drink.They don't play music which makes the environment feel awkward. There's two TVs on top of the bar but the volume isn't up high enough to hear what's on it.However, their raspberry kamikaze tastes pretty good and there's a pool table in the back which costs $1 per game. The bartender is very nice and friendly, but I don't think I'd be back.

A night out in Mountain View wouldn't be complete without a stop at Molly MaGees! If you like Irish/Dive bars, this is fun place to enjoy a night out with 21+ friends.They've got plenty of beers on tap, ample bar seating that wraps around, pool table and a beautiful outdoor seating area. On Wednesdays it's whiskey Wednesday so Jameson shots for only $4.50, that dangerous! Beers were around $7 and Irish car bombs were around $11. Reasonable prices and different type of specials each day. I forgot how much I love playing pool. The table is $1/game, quarters only. Our group ended up staying and playing pool with randoms, playing both 1on1 or doubles. Great way to just have fun and connect with people in friendly, competitive way. If you are looking for no frills, good drinks, nice pours, while out in Castro St, Molly MaGees is the place to check out.Parking: there's a lot on the backside of the restaurant, which you can enter the bar fromS

Quality, no-frills Irish pub in Mountain View. Come here if you're looking for good pours from an extensive list of beers and liquor. If you aren't expecting anything fancy in terms of ambiance, you'll have a great time pulling up a stool here.

I usually have a great night here and everything turned out good, But the bartender with the "Oakley" glasses tried to say my tab was 40$. It ended up being 23$ (plus tip) on a busy friday night which is understandable but I got confirmation from people around the bar that he did indeed say "40$" with the receipt. I thought that was a little shady. Just watch what you're doing when paying for drinks here on a busy night after a couple drinks.

I go to Mollys quite often. Just wanted to go say Happy New Years to one of the staff there, right now, was told the specific staff was there by the security but I wasn't allowed unless I paid $20 fee, (which I paid because they promised he would be in there) but when I went in after I paid they told me that he already left a while ago after I paid and I feel very disappointed and betrayed since I asked to make sure he's in there before I paid. I'm not asking for the $20 back but it just felt very shady.
