THE RAGLAN ROOM
Our flagship function space. Purpose-built for your next private hire event.

About The Function Room
The Raglan Room is Malones Edinburgh’s brand-new dedicated event space, and it’s unlike anything else near Haymarket. Expect warm Irish pub character with modern finishes, including exposed walls, memorabilia, and bric-a-brac that tells a story.
You’ll have a raised stage with room for a band, your own private bar pouring Guinness, Tank Tennent’s, an impressive collection of Irish whiskey and more – plus full A/V and TV screens for sports or presentations.
This room is perfect for birthdays, wedding receptions, corporate away-days, Christmas parties: contact us today and we’ll make your next event unforgettable.








THE UPSTAIRS BAR
Our original function room – bigger, and just as brilliant.
About The Function Room
The Upstairs Bar is where Malones has been hosting unforgettable functions & private events for years. It’s a proper Irish pub with room for sitting, standing and an area for dancing in front of the stage. It’s big enough to fit your entire party of up to 250 people.
This space is known for its unbeatable sports atmosphere; if you’re a smaller group, you can join the party for any big games.
With its own bar, stage, sound system and screens, it’s got everything you need for a night to remember. Ideal for larger groups who want the run of the place.







GO BIG. HIRE BOTH.
Some nights call for something bigger. Both spaces can be combined to give you the full run of Malones – capacity of 400+ guests across your very own Irish pub for the night. For very large events, full venue hire is also available.
