Think of the name “Molly Malone” and get an instant “earworm,” the tune that sticks in your head and will not go away. “Cockles and mussels, alive, alive-oh” indeed!In Louisville, however, Molly Malone gains quick recognition as one of the region’s many amiable Irish pubs; a stalwart in the Baxter Avenue club zone for years, Malone’s added an East End branch in St. Matthews Station last autumn, replacing the old BW-3 at the corner of Shelbyville Road and Breckinridge Lane, adding another stop to a block-long concentration of watering holes that also includes BBC, Brendan’s, Dutch’s and 60 West, a collection that’s starting to rival the Baxter strip.
The new Malone’s is a fun and friendly Irish pub with a really good beer selection, but as I’ve found the food generally edible but unexciting.
