Description: Celebrating nearly 40 years, Muldoon’s is the real thing. A warm generous & friendly pub with fine pub food. Situated on the corner of Southern California’s #1 shopping - financial district Fashion Island - Newport Center, Muldoon’s is known for her two pubs, outdoor courtyard and cozy Dublin dining room filled with booths and a warm fireplace. Locals call Her their “neighborhood gem” in a neighborhood filled with excellent restaurants. But, there is only one Muldoon’s. Great for lunch, dinner, Sunday brunch and private events. Muldoon’s has a lively happy hour, live music - dancing on weekends. Celebrating St. Paddy’s Day is the best! Fit for foodies and those in the know of the greatest ales, lagers beers, mean cocktails and notable wine. Muldoon’s is the home of Sindi Rae’s Dark Chocolate Pudding when she’s in the kitchen! Her Awards: Best Pub in Southern California & the OC, Best Food, Best Burgers, Best Guinness, Best Irish Coffee & Best Staff!

The food is always fresh and good portions. The parking however is the worst. There's too many places including a movie theater that makes it impossible sometimes to find a parking spot.

I've been to Muldoon's several times and really enjoy the whole experience. The restaurant and bar are warm and friendly and the server's are very good and go out of their way to give you the best service. I've eaten most of the Irish dishes and enjoyed all of them. Make reservations as it can get busy.

Met up with our book club last month - we all enjoyed our meals, the setting and service. Good for a get together with friends.

This is a great place with more than one bar area. There are tasty and cheap bar food specials from 4:30-6:30PM from $2.00. Try the bangers, fish sandwich and chips. Good place to have a drink after work and stay for a hearty supper. Service isn't the best, but the wait staff is friendly. Diverse menu.

Ive been here a few times and always find the atmosphere very comfortable, alternating between lively and relaxing. The food is good, so is the service, and its just a nice pub to sit and enjoy a beer.

We visited on a Friday night and the place was packed, but we found a spot in one of the pubs and received quick, friendly service right away. The food was excellent, and portions were large at a very reasonable price. I had the half-and-half fish and chips/shrimp and chips. They use snapper in their fish and chips, which was... More

The bar and restaurant feel like authentic UK fare - like walking into a movie set from the Fashion Islands surrounds - right down to the darts and brass everywhere - and Guiness is the house beverage - food is rich and tasty and plentiful - patio can be lively and chatty

We at at Muldoon's after a long day shopping at Fashion Island. The restaurant was pretty big. They had a large open atrium seating area as well as a sports bar and a classic Irish Pub. We ate in the classic pub section as it was a little quieter and reminded me of the 6 mos I spent in England.... More
