That Irish Brunch

Welcome to the brunch where the craic is absolutely off the charts and the vibes are wilder than a Bank Holiday in Temple Bar. It’s brunch – but Irish. Which means brunch – but funnier, louder, and better, where the Guinness flows like poetry.

Priced at £45 per person, enjoy 90 minutes of bottomless drinks INCLUDING GUINNESS and a Thai dish plus our infamous live band bringing the best trad tunes and commercial hits done the Irish way. Think the soundtrack to the best time of your life meets that “diddly diddly” magic.

A bottomless brunch guaranteed to be a little bit trad, a little bit rave and A LOT bit Paddy. Massive chorus singalongs, big arm around your mate energy and the only thing more Irish than the music… is the volume it’s sung at. By 2:15pm you’ll swear you’re in Galway.

Big fun. Big craic.

Every Saturday | 1pm – 3pm.

Monthly Sundays | 1-3pm.

Molly McElhinney

Molly Mc’s traditional, Irish singing pub is named in honour of the formidable Molly Mc Elhinney — beloved granny of our Directors, Johnny and Ryan, and mother to Jack Mc Elhinney. She was, as the Irish saying goes “some woman for one woman”: a business maven, fashion entrepreneur and all-round force of nature.

Born in 1914, Molly opened her first haberdashery in 1936, in the front room of her childhood home. With a keen eye for style, she built it into the iconic Mc Elhinney’s women’s fashion store. By 1973, it was so popular that on sale days, local police had to shut down the roads to manage the queues!

Her legacy continues through her son Jack, and now through her grandchildren — Johnny, Ryan, and their sister Joanne, who also works in the business. It’s a true family affair, fuelled by generations of passion, grit, and a love for creating unforgettable experiences.

At Molly Mc’s, you’re not just walking into a pub — you’re stepping into a story that started nearly a century ago. Come raise a glass to Molly!

We allow children until 21:00, after this time Molly Mc’s is strictly for guests aged 18 and over.
