Maloney's Bar and Snug in Sefton

Excellent pub cheap beer £3 per pint Staff were very helpful entertainment was great This pub is for mainly over 25s

Went for a cheap midweek holiday in the hotel. The hotel itself is cheap and cheerful nothing amazing but we paid less than £100 for a 3 night stay for 2 of us. But with the bar being in the building we expected the same. It really wasn’t, cheap cocktails at bargain prices and they were very well made. The 2 staff on Friday did the work of 5 very very good. In summary, premium drinks and service at bargain prices.

Visited this bar just after 7pm on Friday night after seeing a notice and being told the reception staff at the Scarisbrick hotel that it was open from 7pm. We found 2 young men (staff) sat the bar eating their dinner. When we asked if they were open firstly they ignored us, then one said (without looking up from his food) ‘no’. We pointed out that the opening times outside said they were open from 7pm, to which we were told that it ‘didn’t or if it did was one of the old signs’ and they wouldn’t be open until ‘about’ 8:15pm - needless to say we left and didn’t return!

Had a roast dinner with all the trimmings. Really tasty and great value for money. The staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely return.

Fantastic value for money with a great selection of options on the menu including roast of the day. The portion sizes were good and the staff were friendly.

Although I live in St Helens, I am a regular visitor to Southport and have been so for many years. Accordingly I have a good knowledge of the many "eateries" in the town. I first tried one of the "2 for £10" meals at Maloneys kitchen for the first time about 18 months ago. I must have returned for the same meal deal 8 or 9 times since. Whilst the food has always been good rather than outstanding, there is no doubt that it has been amazing for the price, and also includes a hot drink! However, during my most recent visit with my wife 2 weeks ago, I have to say that the meals were outstanding. The roast pork lunch was infinitely better than one that I had paid more than twice the price for at a local upmarket pub, and the all day breakfast was simply the best breakfast I have ever had. The eating area will divide opinion and can best be described as quirky. I personally love it as it has a great "retro" feel about it, although the rest of the family are not too keen. Staff have always been polite, efficient and friendly which is always a bonus.

2 sunday lunches for £10. Roast beef, yorkshire puddings and plenty of vegetables, All served on a nice warm plate. All Very nice and lovely service from the barman and waitress. Best we have had for a long time. Great food for a bargain price

Questo locale dall’aspetto - e di fatto - decadente e’ popolato da gente un po’ “strana”.Il personale al bar e’ al limite della scortesia, ma sa fare buoni cocktails.Unica nota positiva e’ la selezione di musica proposta dal bravo DJ.

Was sat eating our meal today 20/05/19 poor service from a rude waitress at 1410 when an older couple came and sat down and the waitress stated to the couple who had been sat for a while waiting to be served and stated very abruptly and in my opinion extremely rude that they are closed and not serving so the couple had to leave the Restaurant Red Faced in tis day and age a little courtesy and respect should be observed by staff having run a company for many years it takes seconds to ruin a reputation

I'd passed through this place a few times en route to the Spindles Health Club downstairs, when it was empty, and quite eery. The black floor and peculiar decor gives it a dark surreal feel and I always whipped through sharpish! I also saw it when it was banging on weekend nights. Loud...On a Sunday lunchtime however, when the neon was aglow and the fairy lights were sparkling it felt far less foreboding, so my friend and I popped in for a light bite before heading home after a weekend break. Other diners were all middle-aged or elderly, and quiet.My cream scone and coffee were very pleasant. The scone was large, fresh and gently warmed through. Served with a pot of jam and a mini mountain of whipped cream it was a treat! The coffee was ok, though a touch weak. I'd requested a small pot of hot water in case it was strong, but this certainly wasn't required.My friend fared less well. Her tuna sandwich lacked any dressing, and she described the accompanying side salad as 'stale and disgusting'.Overall, I'd say this spot is okay for a budget bite, but choose your time to visit with care. The ambience and clientele changes markedly according to the hour and the day.

Called in for a drink and wished we hadn't, it's a bar for the younger set who don't seem to be bothered what they are doing to their ear drums.

This place is like a little hidden gem. Loved the cocktails and the music and atmosphere were great. Would definitely call in again for a night out

Had a few drinks sat outside here on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Drinks were very reasonable for a busy area of Southport . Would definitely call here again on a sunny day.

When me and my friend was there it had offers on my friend drinks brandy and she could get doubles for £2.65 and it was all the good named brand's

Tired looking place which is a shame as the building could be really nice. Decent pint though made up foe the shabbiness.

Went in to watch Ireland beating England at rugby on St Patrick's Day expecting a wee bit of atmosphere.

We have been here before on previous visits to Southport ; on this occasion we went at Lunchtime - It was very busy with people having the Fish and Chips offer. Drinks good value ; staff are a bit hit and miss with the service.

this place was bouncing on a recent visit, watching the barmaids do there thing the music to suit all ages the prices were cheap compared to most night clubs had a good night and trouble free

Not a bad bar. Had a nice time and a good dance. People friendly. Only problem was the bar staff don't use measures to pour spirits, they do it free hand. I observed some people's drinks being short measured. If you don't watch them then you only get a small drizzle. Management should do something about it.

Unable to pay on card, where does this happen in this day and age and was served a glass of Rose that had been sat on the shelf all night, the reply to why was, last nights Barman didn’t put it away, at the prices they charge this is totally unacceptable!

Don’t go in here if you are over 20 at the weekend unless you want to feel really old.

Plenty of choice on the menu for reasonable priced lunches. We had fish and chips with mushy peas which were very good. The bar/ dining room is tucked away down a long corridor. It is very spacious with a rustic Irish decor, staff are friendly and efficient. Well worth a visit.

Last time I was in Southport which was a few years ago it was busy and lively, but this time there where only about 20 people in and no atmosphere, I asked the barman where everybody was as it used to be busy and he said that was a long time ago.

Had fish and chips here and they were delicious. Worth going for. Real value for money and service was excellent.

Despite recommendations...this place is not one I'll be returning to in a hurry!! Food warm & not very tasty, veggie burger not veggie!!Limp salad, beer ok, staff better than food...though they weren't on menu!!! :-)

We go to Maloney's quite a lot usually once a week.We had fish and chips this Friday really nice couldn't fault anything. Prices are good 2 meals for £10 plus tea or coffee. Staff always pleasant,and you get served quite quickly with a smile.Jean and Brian Ainsdale

What a strange place walk through one door and it smells really bad carry on and you get to the dingy dark wired bar.. says it all when the door staff are lying on a chair with their feet up! Waited to get served too busy showing off! Don't take cards so have to pay to use cash machine! All in all go somewhere else!

went in over the weekend cheap cocktails - quite dingy inside though and really dark. Although its still an ok place to have a drink

Called in at Maloneys whilst out on a sunday shopping

My husband and I visited here tonight after we had eaten out and we was really surprised how cheap and nice the cocktails were. It was 2-1 on cocktails all night so we took advantage of it. Would recommend the chocolate snowball, it was delicious.

Last visited this bar about 6 years ago so decided to return and see what had changed over the years, the answer was nothing at all, it was excactly as I remembered it looks badly dated dark and dusty badly in need of a refurb. On the plus side we had a couple of cocktails which were still good and cheap and bartender was good at his job. But please owners please have a revamp to bring it up to date.

My husband and I came here for a few cocktails during happy hour. The place was fairly quiet which is a shame as the bar is quite cool and retro.

OK if you are not fussy where you drink. I believe the bar prices are OK. We don't know for sure, as the bar is inside the Scarisbrick hotel, and we did not eat or drink there. We were residents from upstairs

Visited while we stayed here on holiday. The bar was pitch black, young people at bar knocking back cocktails with the encouragement of the bar staff, two young lads, and our feet was sticking to the floor. Liked the Irish theme and fun of the decor but seriously needs a good clean. A disaster.

Ropey, remember This bar when it was legendary, used to serve great shots and great cocktails just a shadow of its former self!

Took my elderly mum, my son, niece & great nephew to Southport on a cold Sunday January afternoon, just for a walk around to get out of the house. We were all cold and hungry when we decided to fond somewhere to eat, and by chance, Maloney's bar was the first place we came across. The food we ordered was well cooked, tasty and great value for money. We all had a main meal, and three of us had dessert. We also had a couple of soft drinks, plus tea & coffee. The whole meal came to a very reasonable £34. The surroundings were a bit tired, but spotlessly clean. Service & staff were very pleasant and very helpful indeed. Over all, it was very enjoyable and great value for money.

Went for lunch today, special offer soup of the day,barm cake with the choice of 5 fillings,also tea or coffee £10 for two,very nice food good staff.We will visit again soon.

Went here recently as this was rather place to be when I lived in Southport, what a shock I was in for. The hotel has the same decor, carpets and fittings that were there 20 years ago, it is badly in need of a refurb, especially as there is such a modern hotel opposite and a couple of very nice bars too. It was dead when we went in but we still waited nearly 10 minutes to get served even though there were at least 5 bar staff on (one had a broken hand!!) We had one drink and left, to say the place has gone downhill is an understatement. Had its day and we won't be back

Awful loud dirty place however the staff were brilliant and very friendly. The bar manager great. Will never go back

Went for a drink in the Maloneys bar. Bottles were supposedly £3.50 each. Well apart from my girlfriends which were 2 for £5.00.

Coming in the 80's/90's it was great place for a few drinks on a night out.It seems to be looking a tad tired and worn out these day's and not what it was.Just needs brightened up a little and a cash injection to bring it alive again as the atmosphere was always pretty good here.

Had a couple in here just the ticket to start the night. Good atmosphere, right in the middle of Lord Street, Enjoy !!!

Really nice beer, the barstaff are the best around, the pub is quaint and relaxing. The beer is inexpensive but of a good standard.

Dingy,Dirty I would not send my worst enemy in there it really could do with a good clean it's a good job it's dark

Popped in Sunday lunch time, initially just for a drink but after looking at the menu we decided to have a spot of lunch in Maloneys Bar.

Visited for a few drinks on a Monday night, was quite busy, soon found out why!! 2 cocktails for a fiver!!! And they were great, the barman was fun,friendly if a bit chaotic as he was on his own, poor lad hope he's valued by his bosses!!! The place itself could do with a deep clean and a few light bulbs replacing as was a bit dinghy,and had a strange smell but after a few drinks didn't notice it haha

This is one of the best bars I have eatent in. The food is great, comes in large portions and price is fantastic. Very frendly staff. Well worth a vist.

Called in here for a cheap lunch as there is an offer of 2 meals with tea or coffee for £10.00.

Needs updating very dull. Staff don't look happy. Food Ok. Have been a lot of times, Food freshly prepared.

Been here the last 4 years when I've had a night out in Southport. The cocktails are lovely and reasonably priced. We also enjoy the Telefon box as a fun photo opportunity plus there's a lively party atmosphere

Went for lunch at this place yesterday, as the title states AVOID, ordered a cheese & pickle baguette, yuk, the baguette was mouldy and disgusting. nuf said.

went in two couples ordered 3 Latte and 1 Americano .with hot milk

Busy bar under the Scarisbrick hotel. Popular and reasonably priced. Entertainment varied and regular.

Spent a day in Southport,Then very lucky,we found Maloneys bar, The food is Excellent,The Service was Excellent,The Staff are firstclass. The price of food,was very good, This is a firstclass place to eat,without the firstclass prices. Really excellent value,and really excellent staff. Thank you.

Had a very good meal of fish,chips and peas at the excellent price of 2 for £10.00 such good value will go again.

Excllent food, very good price for quality, friendly and helpful staff, very quick survice. Highly recommended. Very good atmosphere.

Staff were efficient drinks were reasonably priced floor was sticky and dangerous as I use crutches to get around a glass was broken and was left all over the floor all night music was good mix
