Maloney’s On Fourth

I’ve always had a good beer from here, but I just don’t like their ambiance. Their music choice is also not my style, so it does nothing for me in terms of enjoyment. They have two sides to it, and we tended to prefer the old style bar more as their drinks are superior.

If I can 0 stars I would. I went to this place with a friend and they wouldn’t let him because he had «baggy» jeans. Let me tell you. His jeans were nothing baggy. Actually they were skinny jeans. Discrimination at its finest, and when I tried to defend my friend, another guy got an attitude with me. We later were told by a fake manager that we should leave the grounds. PleAse do not come to this establishment. It’s racist and they don’t care. You can do better. They won’t be open soon.

Now this is the place for a good time, cold beer and AWESOME customer service by Kristina a Great Bartender.

Holy f*ck, I’ve never seen an Irish pub totally drop the ball on pouring a Guinness. No beer should be poured into a cup that’s resting on the base, but my beer had so much head that the entire cup looked like head.
Irish pubs should know better. Scratch that, every pub should know better.
Disappointing.

All the beer tasted bad– the keg lines were old/​bad. Gave back 2 beers, still charged us. Lame

The bartender woman looked good but talks to other guys while your trying to get your drink. then they beat around the bush if you want a price as if your not classy to drink here without spending 8 dollars a beer (and they want tip!) just pull out your cell phone and pretend to talk outside and go drink somewhere eelse till they get their act together.

I’ve always had issues with this place. Its way over priced, the service isn’t great, the place is a dump. The pool tables are always missing balls and broken pool sticks. My sister got a soda there once because she was my dd and paid the same amount for her drink as mine which had alcohol in it. It’s ridiculous. They need free sodas on weekends to prevent drunk driving like most bars do. I don’t recommend this place to anyone unless you have money to blow and don’t care. Most of the people that go in there are college kids who don’t normally have much money. It’s terrible how they run their establishment.

Bad service. My girlfriend and I went there for drinks on a Saturday night. We waited for almost 10 minutes and the bartender ignored us. The place was dead. When we finally waived him down he said there’s three orders ahead of us and walked away. There wasn’t even three groups at the bar. Then he went to serve someone else who got there after us. Needless to say, we walked out.

Longest wait to get a drink of any bar in Tucson. It’s insane. Even when it’s not super packed it’s still slow sometimes. Also, they usually play 90s/​00s pop rock, which I don’t really enjoy listening to while drinking. I’m giving it 2 stars though because I once went on a Thursday; the DJ played everything we requested and the bartenders even joined in for a cupid shuffle… That was kind of fun. Mainly the wait time for drinks sucks.

I wish Unilocal would let me leave a shorter review, because this place is cut & dry; solid bar, & cordial bartenders.
One room is a quiter bar, a lot of seating, casino-​style bar, wide booze variety, & the background music is solid.
The other room has a true SouthWest vibe, friendly bartender, but it limited on booze; the beer comes out of a cooler, so it’s best to get them in the room next door; this side is better for quick shots, &domestics.
The place is generally dead, but it’s always a good time; just be sure to go w/​people you like, & know what you feel like drinking.

This is my go to bar. The place is big and they have an outside area which is nice too. The best thing is that it’s connected to the Wreck so you get two bar experiences in one. Tuesday nights are really popular because it is wristband night. You buy a $ 10 wristband and get $ 2 drinks all night. It’s definitely worth it. The only problem is that you have to buy the wristband to get in the door. There are photos of all the famous people who have come there which is pretty cool. The music is pretty good too. I recommend this place for sure… but beware it’s for sure a college bar.

I have been to Maloney’s a few times now and every time, the same. Even on a dead night (with about eight people in the whole place) expect to wait 10 – 20 minutes for a drink. It’s not clear what the bartenders are doing but I watched three guys circulating and cleaning (barbacks most likely) and one bartender slowly making one drink at a time. My friend and I spent 10 minutes waiting for the first drink, paid $ 6 each for a draft beer, and then had to wait 15 minutes to close our tabs. And it wasn’t even busy! Most bartenders could run circles around these girls… They are just painfully slow and not that friendly.
The atmosphere is ok-​dark with random music selections but plenty of booths. What really irked me is that if you open a tab here, Maloney’s holds $ 30 from your bank account for 7 – 10 days. So, if you end up only having a drink or two, the bar ends up holding funds from your account which you didn’t authorize. They don’t even have a sign up explaining this policy so I had to call several times about this issue to figure out why my $ 6 beer resulted in a $ 30 charge.
Not impressed at all. If you do come, hit up their Tuesday night specials and bring cash.

I will always love this place, even though I was supposed to meet someone at O’Malleys next door and we confused it with Maloneys, here. Either way, great beers and great service.

We went on a Monday night so it was expected to be dead. Which was great, our bartender was friendly and we got to enjoy a couple of beers and games of pool! Never have I had a bad experience here

Curious as to why this place shows only one dollar sign. The prices here are crazy high. The last time I went which was less than a month ago, the girls bathroom looked like a hurricane went through it, the pool tables were so nasty and some sticks were broken in half! They over charge you for drinks but what are they actually using that money for? Not fixing anything in that place, that’s for sure. Place has really gone down hill.

If you are going to have a good time at Maloney’s, you need to pick the right night and you need to know what you’re in for.
I’ve been there on dead nights, where we were the only patrons, and I’ve been there when it was standing room only. If you want the former, head there on an early weeknight. If you want the latter, later on the weekends.
The set-​up is actually pretty nice. I like walking in to what feels like an almost old-​school Chicago style bar. The bar is beautiful and right dead center in the place. They also have a great open room with a DJ that is fun for dancing. And they have a outdoor patio for smokers and to catch some fresh breeze.
The service is pretty solid. Even when it’s been busy, I haven’t had to wait too long to get a drink. Drink prices are pretty reasonable, especially when they do the $ 5 wristbands.
The crowd here is the one turn off for me. Some nights it’s just too wannabe pretentious. I’ll usually take a spin around before ordering a drink. If it feels fun, it usually is. If it feels stuffy, I move on.
If you’re with a group and looking to party hard, Maloney’s is a good bet!

My DDD Crew and I walked through the doors of Maloney’s on Fourth into a deserted and dark establishment. Not one single solitary soul other than 2 bartenders. All the TVs were on and music was blaring. Felt very Twilight Zone-​ish. Whatever, we weren’t there to mingle just enjoy each others company.
Nice selection of beer on tap but what we ordered was just average, especially the beer sampler. My girl A ordered it and really only enjoyed 2 of the 4. K just wanted a Coors Light but they were out. Her next selection, yep — out of that too. She finally settled on a Stella but when the bartender brought it out he also brought her a glass of the bottom of the keg Coors Light. Flat and gross. I know he was just trying to accomodate her but it was nasty.
The bartender did come up with some kind of delicous drink for S. It was blue and fruity with watermelon pucker in the bottom. She loved it. Had to leave after one drink though. Just too weird being in that deserted, dark place.
You’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You’ve just crossed over into the Twilight Zone.

Drink much? Call in Wednesday and come here on a Tuesday, you’ll thank me later.
It’s one dollar EVERYTHING on Tuesdays when you buy a wristband (5 dollars before 10, 10 dollars after) making it possibly the best day of the week if you’re a drinker or ever just wanted to try out some new things.
Have you ever shopped at a liquor store just wondering what something tastes like but not wanting to drop all the cash to find out? Well now you can and then some. For a dollar you can try that scotch, make that cocktail, or try anything you ever want it’s basically the closest thing you can find to an open bar.
Just want to get sloshed with no regard to taste? Get the long islands here they pour them out into beer pint glasses. After two you’re a rockstar.
Now if you care about atmosphere this is not the place. It’s hardly ever rocking even on these fabled Tuesdays. Every star I gave it is for Tuesdays. It is nice though how they never charge cover on the six other days of the week.

The only good thing about this place was the dancing (but that was probably less to do with the place and more to do with the people I went with). The music seemed to be stuck on a decade ago.
Prices for drinks are stupidly expensive, averaging $ 8 for what we ordered. Shots are tiny and mixed drinks dilute and skimpy on alcohol. I definitely came in more buzzed than I left and I was drinking something the entire time. The guys here were extra-​creepy as well, and I probably won’t be back.

This review is based on many many visits to Maloneys, most of which were always fine. However, the last time I visited (and I plan to never return) Maloneys really blew it for me. My friend and I went in and ordered a Budweiser each. Not exactly high brow drinking, but it sounded good and it was on tap. We figured on tape Bud would be cheap. Thankfully we only had the beer each, because our tab was rather shocking. Ready for this? Two Budweisers (just plain Budweisers, mind you) came out to $ 11.00 exactly.
Excuse me?
I asked if it was some kind of exotic, imported Budweiser. The waitress said it was not. I commented that at these prices we could go buy a six-​pack of Bud for the cost of one glass. And forget that, we could go spend $ 10 at the Shanty and get a couple of nice imported English ales.
Seriously, Maloneys, $ 11? I’m sure happy hour is a real steal, maybe the Buds go down to $ 3 each! Wow! Makes me think of the joke: A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says «We don’t get many of your kind in here.» The horse replies: «At these prices, I can see why.»
