The previously compact bar area has been expanded, with new wooden floors and more comfortable furniture installed. The venue has been decorated with authentic Irish-themed decor, including a standout bespoke Guinness Gate mural in the dining area, which pays tribute to Ireland’s iconic stout.

Outside of aesthetic upgrades, the Molly Malones renovation includes a new air conditioning system.

To match its new look, there is also an extensive drinks selection, with food such as an Irish Stew Crock Pot and Molly’s Own Steak & Guinness Pie on offer. In addition, students will receive 20% off food and drink, seven days a week.
