Malone’s Pub

Great little local bar! Came in with friends and I volunteer to go get the first round: two vodka-​cranberry, two vodka-​tonics and one cosmo! OMG, i didn’t think about that, I have to go order a Cosmo from a Texas bartender. I knew what was coming.
So I order the drinks in that order and the bartender is saying OK, OK OK until I get to the cosmo and sure as hell, he lets me have it, «wow, what». The guy sitting on the stool next to me just turns his head and looks at me. I shrug my shoulders and say «you can take the girl out of NY but you cant take NY out of the girl». The both laugh and an incident is adverted.
Anyways, all the drinks with tip for under $ 30. I don’t think there is food here because some of the locals had Taco Bell, which is post alcohol food; but she was young.
All the drinks were good and the clientele were friendly. I also tried one of the local draft beers and was happy with my decision.

Very nice and chill Pub, I was doing a event across the street at the convention center and between breaks I came randomly to see if they had wifi and they did. I enjoyed a beer and busted out my laptop and studied and handled online business. Very chill environment! Loved it! Bartender even let me sample some tap beers. Always a plus!

I found Malone’s on my first day of law school. It is a great place, slightly off the beaten path in downtown Ft Worth. The owner and bartenders are local legends and are my kind of people. This place has an eclectic group of regular customers that are friendly and welcoming.
I can not say enough about this bar. You should go check it out.

A girlfriend and I went on a Saturday afternoon and the place was dead. They weren’t playing my good music and we ask the doctor to make us a Flamming Dr. Pepper because my girlfriend had never had one and he bauched it all up. It was the worst drink ever! Instead of saying, «I don’t know how to make that would you like to try something else» he just made us a half ass drink, yuck. I never have to go back. Sorry.

How this place hasn’t hit my radar until now, I don’t know. But, better late than never. It’s the best little «neighborhood» type bar anyone could ask for. It’s so refreshing to walk in and not be hit in the face with a cloud of stale nicotine! But, if you are a smoker, you can still do your thing on the outside patio. Ed is the owner and greeted us on our first visit. His nearly 20 years of success in the business shows by his friendly, unassuming nature. He’s a quality guy and his drinks are good, reasonably priced, and to the point! There’s no trendy, fru-​fru here and that’s fine with me. I ordered a vodka/​tonic and it was perfect. When Ed asked if I wanted another, he remembered my name! Who does that anymore? You can buy chips, etc., to snack on, but if you want anything heavier, they have a list of places you can order from and have delivered straight to the bar. Parking is no problem with ample spaces in front and an entire lot out back. Visit this little diamond in the rough soon. They won’t disappoint. I love this place and I plan to be a regular in no time!
UPDATE: There’s a law school up the street. If the students there decide to show up, you won’t find a seat and it’s loud as hell. Other than that… it’s still a great place.

I expected a smokey bar full of cheap beer and toothless old men. I was shocked to find a smoke free bar full of craft beers, pool table and darts, and a friendly as hell couple of bartenders. Solid bar worth a visit.

I like this place and I want to love it. I have been here on a handful or more occasions and I am rarely ever remembered. As a member of the service industry, an excellent tipper, and not annoying I would like to think I am remembered as I am at most places. It could be that I rarely have the same bartender, I dunno. Good small but not too small place with a pool table and jukebox. They have a small patio that I could care less about. It is enough out of the way when I get off work that I don’t run into my customers. I would definitely say this is a diamond in the rough.

Ed, owner, tending bar my first visit. Awesome guy, good company.
Classic 25 ft wide and 100 ft long. No gimmicks. Seems there’s a really strong regulars crowd, usually a good sign.

Velton’s speciality: the Bloody Hitler! It’s a must – Bloody Mary with jäger, the best ever!!!

I love this bar, but sadly, have never given it a full review. So here goes… Malones is a total locals bar, with a very warm regard for tourists and visitors. My wife and i stumbled upon this place a year ago, and have been faithful ever since.
The bar is simple, yet lovely place to hang, with either a group, your boo, or by yourself. The owner and bartenders are really cool to talk to. They will chat you up if you choose to talk, or leave you be if thats your desire.
The place is not big, not small, just right. Jukebox has a very unique selection from Frank Sinatra to Megadeath. The prices are sweet, good specials, and I have never seen a problem in there. I asked Velton (best bartender ever) if there are ever any fights, and he said no, we stop trouble at the door.
Its a nice safe place to enjoy a beverage, shoot the breeze, and totally chill…
Enjoy!

I would describe Malones as an enigma if only I knew what an enigma was (or is).
On first glance it seems out of place. It’s nearest neighbor is a quickie mart run by a guy who only turns on the electricity when someone comes in.
On the other side is some sort of lawyer thing and a block away is the bus/​train station.
There is nothing around here that screams a population that would support a bar (well, okay, lawyers maybe).
It is well off the beaten track of those who consider Sundance Square to be the epitome of cultural decadence.
But I can tell you, that if you are downtown FW looking for a bar where «everybody knows your name» then this is where you want to lite.
Only a short walk from the Sheraton (my home away from home) Malones hits on all four cylinders (eight if you’re from TX).
Cool, comfortable and homey I could see my self being a regular if I lived within biking distance.
Daily specials (I’m enjoying $ 3 pint night) and a soulful taste in music makes this my go-​to bar for chilling.
If you want to pay for overpriced drinks go to the Flying Saucer in Sundance. If you want to rub elbows with Fort Worthians and not bust your budget then wander over to Malones. You could do far worse.

been a few times now, it’s always a good experience. Reasonable beer prices good parking and always good conversation inside,

Malone’s Pub is the perfect bar to just chill and drink. The beer is always ice cold. The bartenders are friendly and cool. The jukebox is filled with a lot of alternative and old rock. If you’re looking for a place that feels like home only better, this is your place. It’s dog friendly, if your dog is on a leash.

While visiting a friend out in the other side of the Metroplex, Fort Worth for those who don’t know, he suggested we meet up here for a couple of beers after his class. Malone’s is located right by a UTA Campus and Texas Wesleyan campus so it gets a fair amount of the late 20 – 30’s crowd. Given that it was a trendy hipster bar the night we were there it seemed like at first. But after classes let out the clientele changed to the MBA/​Law school type. Malone’s is definitely a regulars kind of spot and it won me over. They offer good tunes, a small patio, and most importantly cheap beer.

I have been frequenting this bar for much longer than I care to admit :) Over the last year I feel like its really improved! It’s much tinier inside than it used to be. In order to accommodate the outside patio for the smokers you lost the couch corner and a pool table. But I leave there now and don’t reek of smoke, so it’s okay. The bathrooms are always clean and working. Very important :) Really nice bottled beer selection. There’s a good mix of regulars. You’ll find a lot of service industry people here too. This is my favorite juke box in fort worth. There’s a solid selection. The bartenders are great. Velton is a gem. I do miss Carey! This place has the downtown Fort Worth feel w/​o the downtown crap you don’t want to haggle with. Parkings never a issue. Try them out!

Awesome bar! The atmosphere is great and it is non-​smoking! Great place to hang out!

Love does not begin to express my feelings about this place. It is everything I think a neightborhood bar should be. It has…
– A smoke-​free environment inside
– Friendly bar staff
– A close but not crowded space inside
– A good, cheap drink option that is NOT a special (in other words, I can afford this place even if it’s no longer happy hour)
– A welcoming attitude toward Night Riders (woohoo, bikes!)

Malone’s is now smoke-​free inside as of Jan. 1, 2012. There is a new outdoor patio in front of the bar that still allows smoking and is quite comfortable with a TV and several tables.

Pardon the semi-​broken record routine, but if you’ve ever spent any time going out in a city where there’s a non-​smoking policy indoors, you’ll really come to appreciate it. At least I have, and it’s been a bit of an adjustment to coming home smoggy after a night out here. Enter my latest stop off at Malone’s Pub, a terrific neighborhood-​style bar that has seen the future (so to speak), and pushed ahead with a non-​smoking policy in advance of potential changes down the line by the city.
And truth be told, the non-​smoking thing wouldn’t amount to much if Malone’s didn’t already have a cool thing going on, which they do. The night I dropped in, the room was teeming with regulars from stem to stern, all seemingly engaged in occasionally uproarious conversation, with bar staff staged as partners in crime. If my visit’s any indication, it’s a happy place, this Malone’s, and not only have they carved out a unique and welcoming spot in the city, but they’re planning on being here a good long while yet. And that’s a welcome addition any day.

This is one of my favorite spots in Fort Worth for when I get off work. As a member of the service industry, this is almost a haven for all of us. Its hard to walk in and not see others from around the restaurants in the area. Suffice to say, its kinda like a home for all of us.
Firstly, they really cater to the regulars. We are polled along with everyone else in the industry as to what music to put on the jukebox. No matter how odd or obscure, they have an awesome, personal blend of music to experience while unwinding and in my eyes, hands down the best music opportunity and jukebox in Fort Worth.
Secondly is the beer selection. A variety of the common macrobrews are on tap, but they have an obscenely well put together selection of bottled brews. It doesn’t hurt that the bartenders know and understand the selection very well and can make near perfect recommendations time and time again.
Thirdly, the bartenders… Velton is a hands down favorite. Knowledgeable and friendly, his assistance has always been appreciated and his bartending personality is what everyone could hope for after a tough night of work.
Finally, pool tables and dart boards mean that you can keep busy if the poured drinks don’t keep your attention. In the long run, Malone’s is a great late night spot to hang out and relax when you don’t want to be around the ‘scene’ of Fort Worth and want more the opportunity to unwind comfortably.
