Molly Malone's

Although this cosy cellar pub has had a Celtic makeover with an Irish flag, Guinness memorabilia and the odd shamrock, there are also plenty of old Dutch liquor casks lined up against the wall like the ones you see at local jenever joints. Order a Kilkenny and some Irish salmon or spare ribs, watch football on SkySports and listen to occasional live music on weekend nights here. Naturally, plenty of whiskey is also on offer including some good single malts. Although it has all the makings of yet another tourist trap, its location on a quiet canal lends it a laid back quality that’s hard to find at similar establishments.
