Mother Marys is an Irish bar and independent music venue, re-imagining the space where The Font once was and giving it a new lease of life.
There’s much to do, explore and enjoy here. This ‘little Ireland’ provides a taste of Irish-Italian culture, serving up top-grade pizzas and a slew of sauces to drench them in.
One of the best things about Mother Marys is their wildly generous happy hours. With your first two drinks, you get free pizza. That’s not a mistake, simply one of the best deals in the city, courtesy of Oxford Road’s very own matriarch.
Harking back to drinks prices of yesteryear, you’ll find £2.50 lager and cider, two for twelve cocktails, and fiver Guinness. You’ll wish every hour was happy hour.
The feel of the whole place is buzzy and high energy, with well-curated music acts on weekly and plenty of darts and pool to have a go at. It’s a huge space, so there’s no need to stress about getting down early. Just like going round your mate’s house back in the day, everyone’s welcome at Mother Marys.
As their three-story mural says: it’s a lovely day for a Guinness.
