Molly Mc's is an Irish singing pub tucked under the railway arches on Isabella Street, a few minutes from Waterloo and the Southbank. The draw here is three private karaoke rooms, each with its own theme and karaoke kit, plus a proper Irish pub feel with Guinness, cocktails and a Thai kitchen. It suits groups who want their own space to belt out songs without a stage in front of strangers.

The rooms split by size, so you can book one to match your crowd. Pricing is per person per hour and shifts by day, and it is free to sing early in the week. Walk-ins are possible but the rooms get booked up at weekends, so reserve ahead if you have a date or a birthday in mind.

The karaoke setup

There are three private singing rooms, each with a theme and its own karaoke kit. Guinan's takes 4 to 8 people, Jack's takes 4 to 10, and Slim's is the small one for 2 to 4. You book by the hour and the whole room is yours, so there is no waiting your turn in front of a pub full of strangers. The space sits under the railway arches, vintage-styled rather than neon-and-disco, in keeping with the wider Irish pub feel of the venue.

Prices and timing

Room hire is charged per person per hour and the rate moves with the day. It is free on Monday and Tuesday, £8 per person per hour on Wednesday and Sunday, and £12 per person per hour Thursday to Saturday. The pub opens from 16:00 on weekdays and from 13:00 at weekends, running late, with the latest closes at the weekend. Weekend rooms fill up, so book ahead if you want a slot for a birthday or a date.

Food and drink

This is a proper Irish singing pub, so Guinness and cocktails are the backbone, alongside a Thai kitchen doing dishes like a spice bag. There is a bottomless brunch at £45 per person for 90 minutes of drinks, Guinness included, plus a Thai dish. Gluten-free and vegan options are available. Beyond the karaoke rooms there is an outdoor terrace and live Irish music sessions later in the week, so you can make a full night of it without leaving.
