Molly Malones is an award-winning, authentic Irish pub at 224 Union Street in the heart of Aberdeen (AB10 1TL), recently reopened after a six-figure refurbishment that relocated and expanded the bar, added new wooden flooring and a bespoke Guinness Gate mural. Run by Belhaven, it offers live sport, live music and 'the best craic in town', with live music Thursday to Sunday (and every night through December). Spread over three levels — the top floor has a pool table leading to an outdoor drinking area — it's a lively, welcoming spot for folk, trad and acoustic performers (capacity around 90).
