Molly’s Pub

Was asked to leave the bar by a fat female bartender that had a major attitude. I apparently made her feel uncomfortable even though I had no booze in me and wanted to relax, minding my own business and not talking to anyone. What a crazy
bitch on a cold Sunday night.

I used to frequent the league city location in my younger days, so when I moved to west houston, I had to try this location to see how it was. I’ve been a couple of times now, but this one is much smaller, and definitely has an older crowd. Like as in early 40s to late 50s on the nights I went. I ordered a couple of beers both times and even though they have my favorite beer, this location just isn’t my cup of tea.

Awesome bar, great staff. Love this place. They work hard to make everyone feel at home.

Had a very rude bartender up there that ruined my experience and will not go back… Was a younger girl that was a absolute bitch

One of the best dive bars in west Houston — very unpretentious and a place to «chill.» The music wasn’t too loud today (Sunday) and the drinks are potent, depending on what you order. It’s definitely off the beaten path.

Came here on the last Rockets game of the season (sad) but had a very good time. Service was unbelievably quick and the bartender was attentive. Met up with a meet up group that comes here and had an overall great time. The bathrooms were not as clean as I would have liked but they were not horrendous either. I’d definitely come back!

Went here for the first time last night. Just moved from Michigan to Houston a week ago and was treated like a regular! It was a great place with cheap drinks!

I came mid-​day on a Saturday and it was very quiet and relaxed. Exactly what I was looking for today. The people at the bar all knew each other and were all joking around with one another. The bartender was extremely nice and I enjoyed myself.

Best dive bar in Houston. Cheap fireball and great juke box. Everyone knows everyone, but newbies are always welcomed. Definitely stop by on Wednesday nights for Trivia Night with Bob.

Attentive and friendly bar staff. Good prices on drinks. Live bands (particularly JustUs) make for a great night.

My dad has been going to this place back when it used to be called The West crest Pub. I’ve been here on multiple occasions & you will not find a friendlier bunch of people. Faye, the manager, is amazing. She’s fun, laid back, & very welcoming.
Seriously, this place is more like a family than a bar. Love Molly’s!

Great little neighborhood bar with very nice bartenders.
There definitely is a group of regulars who call this dive bar home :) Have only been here a handful of times. The staff, as well as, the customers have always been very nice and sociable.
There is a 2-​man band called JustUs that play here pretty regularly. You should try to catch them sometime on a Friday night. Otherwise, there is a jukebox that everyone takes care of ;)
I don’t think there is much of a food menu aside from microwaved pizzas. I’ve never personally tried to eat here but I saw a few pizzas at surrounding tables.

The bartenders, the regulars, the jukebox, the reasonably priced drinks and the hand dryer in the bathroom. All reasons why I love this place. Small-​ish, darkish and inviting…

I was born into this bar family 26 years ago… i was 3 days old… This was back when the pub was the Westcrest and my grandfather John «Stats» Witzeman was the bartender… and if anyone here ever visits this place you will know he is there… he is a legend here… and the funniest most awesome person in the entire world… this bar is awesome… small, good drinks, cold beer, friendly people and to me, its the Cheers of Houston… everyone knows everyone and has been going to this bar for over 20+years… Faye, Karen and Terry are all crazy cool people, and I love them all deeply! Stop in and say hi sometime! You will find lots of English people here, hence the irish pub… and they have great dart leagues as well…

We happened into this place accidentally when we couldn’t get into the bar we wanted because of some big sporting event everyone was there to see on PPV. I am so happy our plans got changed!
We were finishing up a birthday celebration and just wanted a shot or two for the birthday girl and some beers. We ended up playing steel tip darts for a couple hours and having the barkeep make us some of the best birthday cake shots ever! She never charged our designated driver for her sodas… always nice.
The place is one of those throw back pub places. They seem to have a middle aged guy clientele who are all on a first name basis with the bartenders. All sat at the bar and greeted each other as if they all knew each other.
They welcomed us warmly. Always nice when you’re invading a guy space with a group of 8 women all celebrating a birthday!
They know how to make a good drink and the black and tans were perfect! A pretty decent pub beer selection for such a small place too. They serve bar food like frozen pizzas but I’ve never eaten there as it’s usually after dinner that we stop in.
Smoking is allowed outside on the patio. They have a great retro jukebox selection and the guys didn’t mind us playing several and singing along.
It’s close to my house and I’ve been back to toss some darts a couple times and plan to keep heading back in when I need a taste of friendliness and a black and tan.

I found Molly’s after work through sheer luck — I went to the «pub» which popped up first on my navigation.
When I walked in, I felt like I was in a very small town bar, where everyone knows each other. Everyone was busy talking, or watching the game between the Giants and Astros (GO GIANTS!!!). After the bartender (Faye) saw my California ID, she started playfully teasing me about the Giants and informed everyone there where I was from.
Now, I’m a 24 year old Mechanical Engineering major. Within 3 hours, I met a) An astro-​physicist, b) A multi-​millionaire real estate mogul, c) A guy who makes and sells his own beef jerkey and d) A guy who was apparently named one of the world’s top 10 scientists.
I would have never guessed that just from walking in, since I was the one with the shirt and tie!
People were EXTREMELY friendly, and were genuinely interested in getting to know me. Obviously, I got called out on being from the «most liberal state in America», but when I told them I voted for McCain, I got round after round!
By the time I was leaving, everyone knew my name. I had a full-​page list of things to do/​see while I’m in Texas, and about 10 different business cards from people telling me to keep in touch.
Southern hospitality at it’s best, folks. I highly recommend Molly’s! Plus, the drinks are dirt cheap and STRONG!

I love love love this place. I’ve been going there for years, ever since I’ve moved to Houston. It’s become my Cheers. I know most of the bartenders — Faye, Karen, Stats, and Bob. Who can forget Bob? He’s the old man that acts like he owns the place (he doesn’t). But if you call him by name he treats you right. Or if you’re a vet, then he really likes you. Whoever is behind the bar, they’re gonna take care of you.
No, it’s not for those who like to go out and pick up members of the opposite sex. They don’t serve food there either. But if you like to be able to talk to the person next to you, across from you, or across the bar from you without yelling then this is the bar for you.
Sometimes there are live bands or live one-​man bands that play pretty much anything you can think of. Sometimes they have dart tournaments. For St. Patty’s day they had a true Irishman playing all your drinking song favorites. You gotta check this place out.

I have driven past this sign that reads «Molly’s Pub — Irish Sports Bar» on Westheimer 100 times. Why do I drive past it? Because it’s on the way to one of the other local watering holes I frequent, Fox and Hound. Oddly enough, last Sunday, I decided to get out of the routine of Fox and Hound and try something new, something different.
I walked into Molly’s and let out a little chuckle (that’s right, a chuckle) because I instantly knew I was going to love this bar. Small, dark and full of regulars, Molly’s Pub is the bar that is great with friends or solo. The drinks aren’t too expensive and all of the patrons are nice and outgoing. If you find yourself in the area, pop in and have a beer. You won’t be disappointed.

Darts darts darts darts! Tons of darts!
And drinks.
But, darts!
Sometimes I’ve gone here and had the place to myself, others I’ve encountered lonely groups of people twice my age nursing cheap beers and reminiscing (with jukebox selections varying accordingly). It’s not a scenester kind of place, and I would stick to bar standards (and perhaps beer).
However, darts! Lots of well-​maintained darts and boards await you (no wobbly boards evened out with coasters or fletches that keep falling off), and unlike many other places in Houston, people won’t constantly cross your path to get another drink.
Plus, it’s not usually too smoky since it’s not usually too busy. The bartenders are kind of quaint, too.
