Mollie's Bar & Diner

103-105 Smith Street, Fitzroy 3065
$ Australian Top 10 Recommended New Editor's Pick

Mollie's Bar and Diner is serving parmas, burgers, pizzas, fish & chips. Mollie’s is named after Chris’ (Owner) Mum and our philosophy is simple – All food is prepared fresh and is served with the same love and attention Mollie served food to her eight sons and seven daughters.

Mollie’s is a very relaxed, canteen style bar and dining experience. With lots of chat in the main dining room with silent movies playing on the big screen accompanied by warm service coming with a touch of “sass”.

Mollies has a unique sun sprayed or heated outdoor roof terrace, incorporating a wind control design, perfect for Melbourne offering a vista of iconic buildings like the Collingwood Town Hall and of course the hustle and bustle of Smith Street.

Great entertainment and the waiters were great as well. Eggplant Parma could’ve been better, perhaps actually crumbing them.

My only suggestion would be to have more drink options on the QR Cofe Menu. I wasn’t able to order mocktails, soft drinks, lemon-lime-bitters without going to the bar. I could only order alcoholic drinks from my table

The review format won’t allow me to rate to 10 only goes up to 9 I’m concerned of the new chairs as the back legs tend to spread out a little when I sit on them hence giving me a feeling they might collapse yet so far it hasn’t a few of my friends have said the same I’m wondering if in the future management may consider installing a lift ? All in all a great venue filled with good banter and comical hosts

Fantastic Experience!! Felt super welcome and safe! The show was amazing and the energy excellent! The drinks were very yummy and the price was superb! One of the highlights of the night was the Mac and Cheese croquettes! They are the best I’ve ever ever had! Had to pass them around the table because they were so good! Everyone was in love with them! Will be back again and again!

Miss Jay is an incomparable manager and the Mollie's team are all so gorgeous and create a really nice, queer space. We ordered the arancini, vegan pizza and polenta fries for the table. The pizza was great, the polenta fries and arancini needed some more seasoning like nutritional yeast or something. But we will definitely be back

Hi team, I love Mollies, staff are always friendly, food is good value and it’s an all-round great queer space. However, it’s always difficult to find out what time shows are starting as it’s not clear on the website or when booking and it’s impossible to speak to anyone on the phone to enquire or change a booking.

Our drinks took about 30 minutes to come out with our food taking just over twice as long. It looked like the kitchen was starting to clean up so I had to go up there to remind them about our food. When it arrived it didn’t arrive exactly how we’d ordered it, but by that point it was getting too late to fix it. Aside from the poor service, however, the food was nice and the night was a lot of fun! The Bingo is a lot of fun and we will be back again
