Fun atmosphere and interactive live music! Ordered the tomato soup and grilled cheese and it was literally the best I’ve ever had. The staff was also very friendly. We’ve been twice and will definitely come back any time we’re in town!

Could definitely experience quite a wait on a weekend night so be prepared but it is worth it! Great beer selection, delicious appetizers (loved the Irish nachos and the pretzel with cheese dip) and there was live music which was fun to listen to. We just went for drinks and apps but the food at a nearby table looked and smelled delicious. And the service was quick considering how busy it was. Everyone is always friendly. A great downtown Norfolk stop!

Stopped in for lunch and had a very nice meal. Tried the Disco Chips and the Fish sandwich. Food was great, one of the best fried fish in the area, service was also very good.

Was a nice Irish pub with live music. I ordered a chicken sandwich. It was really tasty. Our server was very slow. It took 15minutes to get a drink, our colleagues drink spilled right away and she did not offer to get him another drink. We really wanted to stay but her service was terrible. We observed other tables being well taken care of. She must have been overwhelmed. I'll still go back but I'll ask for a different server. Lol. Overall nice pub right in downtown.

This place is amazing, from the staff to the atmosphere and the music! I hadn’t had such a good time like that in a while and the food was delicious! I can’t wait to go back.

Recently visited here with a friend. Let’s just say I’m going back soon. Loved the fact that everyone had a smile on their faces. The live entertainment was great! People held up their ales and sang with glee! Our server was very attentive despite the place being packed. We met some guys that bought us shots and even paid our tab! I am so happy to have found this happy place. Located on Granby with easy parking. The chicken wings are banging!

Had a great early family dinner there today! The host was very attentive and got my kid crayons and made sure the waiter came asap to our table. It was busy but the staff hustled through and were quick on their feet. Then the food came fast yet fresh and hot and very tasty! The peach cinnamon bread pudding was AMAZING!!! The Shepard's Pie was so good, will definitely come back when we're back in town!

Came to eat on a Monday afternoon (they are open, yay!) The wait staff was nice and seated us a distance away from other customers. We got the beef stew and the bacon and cabbage. The stew had great flavor and the meat chunks were sizeable. The bacon and cabbage had a lot of parsley flavor and the mashed potatoes were filling.
Had to grab the wait staff to get a take-out box and check though. I did overhear another customer get a few dessert for her birthday, so that's nice of them!
The parking is parallel street parking paying meters and you can walk to the restaurant easily.

Stopped in here for dinner before catching the fireworks at Town Point Park on the 4th of July. We were able to seat right away at the bar rail seating. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was fresh and to temp. My original orange crush was delicious and the corned beef and cabbage was wonderful and filling. Nice family friendly atmosphere.

Considering this was Old Dominion University graduation weekend, tonight we were very lucky to get a table near the front door right away upon our arrival. We timed our visit here just right! I ordered the Curry Chicken, and it was delicious. Although there was a lot of white rice that I left in my dish because of the extra carbs, the actual curry, chicken, green pepper and onion had great flavor! Fortunately, the server we had also was very attentive, and checked with us regularly during our meal. Grace O’Malley’s has a very lively and upbeat atmosphere, and we really enjoyed it!
