    John mullins is a lovely place, that offers a huge varieties of beers and a nice ambience. However, one of the waiters is disrespectful. After having spend a nice evening at the pub, the rest of the night was ruined by the waiter and his rude behaviour. I order an Aperol spritz which according to the menu (which was handed over to me by one of the waiters) cost 6.50€. When the time to pay came, the weighter told me that i had to pay 7.50€ instead of 6.50€. When I asked for explanation he told me in a very aggressive tone "the price is 7.50 and not 6.50. Look at the price board over the counter next time". Having said, so i told him that i wanted to pay the price which was stated in the menu as it contains all of the pub's prices. He replied in a rude and aggressive way by shouting "Don't pay and don't come back". I ended up paying the full price because I am a decent person that doesn't want to make a fuss over 1€, however the waiter cannot be described as a decent person. As a representative of the pub he should make the customers feel welcome and at home, but he does the exact same opposite. Although being more than 30 years older than me, he showed a lack of maturity and respect. Before working in a business learn how to treat a customer and how to behave accordingly to hospitality rules...I think a politeness course would suit you well. PS: i'm very disappointed in having to give John Mullins a one star review because it truly deserve a 5/5 stars, but my experience as a costumer was completely ruined by the waiter's attitude. I'm not the only one to complain about this issue so pay attention. Please for next time try to keep the menu up to date because i want to avoid such inconveniences.

    I won’t recommend this Irish pub to anyone as the owners are very rude. I had a small accident and spilled by whiskey on the table as I told this to owner and politely asked him to refill my glass of whiskey as it was an accident he started arguing and abusing me. The environment is pathetic with too much of loud noise, drunkards all over the place creating nuisances and poor quality of service My reply to this rude owner first of all I already ordered 3 whiskey in the same night and this was my 4th whiskey and we were a group of 10 people one of them in our group who previously worked as a waitress in a bar in Eindhoven even she said that if a customer accidentally spills an expensive drink worth 13 Euro then the Bar refills his glass. She said we should never come to such a bar where customers are ill treated and cheated. So I advise everyone specifically expats don’t come to this Bar as the staff and owner are very rude and will cover up their mistakes.

    I just had a drink, at the bar. The bar was wet, so i asked for a cloth to dry it with and was thrown one. Would have been nice if they would have wiped it down and did their job. Not particularly friendly and welcoming for a next time. Looked ok if you are with friends. If you're alone, it sucks. Will skip this place for sure. Response: Apologies, i don't go to restaurants/bars to clean up the bar before i have a drink, I expect that to be done for me, by staff who are paid to do that. Being alone or with company, makes a difference, but ultimately its the sense of feeling welcome or not. Been to plenty of places where its fine to be alone, feel welcome and looked after.

    The place is nice, beer good and the food excellent but the service destroyed it all for us.

    (Translated by Google) Not what it used to be ... I especially think it is a shame that the whisk (e) y selection has shrunk so drastically. John M. used to be known for their extensive whiskey selection. (Original) Niet meer wat het vroeger was... Vooral vind ik het jammer dat de whisk(e)y selectie zo drastisch geslonken is. John M. stond vroeger bekend om hun uitgebreid whisky aanbod.

    Extremely rude staff. I just entered the restaurant to book a table, I waited next to the bar for the barman to finish serving his clients (I wanted to give priority to the clients since I was just asking a question). The barman came up to me, really angry. Before I had the chance to say a word, he said that if I wanted to ask something, I should have come up to him and that it was too long a way to walk for him (I was at the entrance of the bar, maybe 5 meters from him)… After asking my question and getting an even snarkier response, I walked out. I have never experienced that rude of a service. It is a pity because the place seemed so nice.

    (Translated by Google) Looking for a nice pub in Maastricht to get the feeling to be back in Ireland or Scotland now that unfortunately canceled by Corona ended up in this pub. Unfortunately there was not really the welcome atmosphere you expect from an Irish pub. The pub looks nice, but unfortunately the choice of pub food is a bit disappointing and the tables are all sticky. Also, the staff behind the bar were not very cheerful. On the site we saw that there should be Magners and Strongbow, but when inquiring which ciders there were only a choice from Somersby. There was another Stowford cider on the chalkboard, but they did not. Only some sweet ciders instead of the good standard dry Irish. So overall impression wasn't really great, but still 3 stars for what pub looks like and benefit of the doubt. (Original) Op zoek naar een leuke pub in Maastricht om toch het gevoel te krijgen weer in Ierland of Schotland te zitten nu dat door Corona helaas geannuleerd is in deze pub terecht gekomen. Er hing helaas niet echt het welkome sfeertje wat je van een Ierse pub verwacht. De pub ziet er mooi uit, maar helaas valt de keuze uit pub food wat tegen en zijn de tafels allemaal plakkerig. Ook kwam het personeel achter de bar niet echt vrolijk over. Op de site zagen we dat er Magners en Strongbow zou moeten zijn, maar bij navraag welke ciders er waren alleen keus uit Somersby. Op krijtbord stond nog een Stowford cider maar dat hadden ze ook niet. Alleen wat zoete ciders ipv de goede standaard droge Ierse. Algemene indruk was dus niet echt geweldig, maar toch 3 sterren voor hoe pub eruit ziet en voordeel van de twijfel.

    Real Irish Pub, had a good cold hop House 13 Golden Lager Guinness. Staff is friendly, easy ordering at the bar. Atmosphere is cozy. Will try out some of the whisky and food next time. Prices are a bit chaotic, some are fair, some are pricy. Might have to do with import or not, or the sizes of the portions. We'll figure that out next time.

    We had a lovely evening visiting this place. The staff is friendly and the pub quiz was fun.we had the fish and chips,which was the real deal.will definitely go again if I'm back in Maastricht

  • 5/5 Vita P. 5 years ago on Google • 86 reviews
    Nice pub in a good location. I am not fan of the lager Grolsch they serve but that's the only downside. Wheat Grolsch is amazing so is the cider. I tried many things on the menu and everything is delicious, especially their chicken wings. The best thing about this place is that they serve sweet potato fries! The only place in Maastricht doing that from what I know so far. Don't ever take it off the menu please!

  • 4/5 Aleksandar J. 6 months ago on Google • 63 reviews
    I love pubs, I love Guinness, so what's there not to like. Last time it felt a bit like there was no air, but we went in anyway. :-) If it was open an hour longer, that would have been perfect!

  • 5/5 Sarah van der K. 3 months ago on Google • 49 reviews New
    Stayed here on 31 Dec in the hours leading up to NYE. The atmosphere is really really good. Very welcoming, cozy, good music and friendly helpful staff. We ordered a burger and fish 'n chips: they were great too! Only downside was that we could not order at the table but had to order at the bar which meant standing in line every now and then. I really liked this place and if I'm ever in Maastricht again I'll definitely go back :)

    So today we went to Maastricht and I was surprised, because Google maps told me, that there should have been six Irish pubs… I went around and saw 4 of them, but I have to be honest - I only opened the door to this one (when I’ve been at the others I looked through the windows, but no. Just no…) So we’ve been here at John Mullins Irish pub. It’s a good one. You can get good drinks and there is also a good variety oh them. They also have vegetarian food and the nachos were quite fine (just have a look at the menu), but maybe a little expensive for this amount you will get. They also had live music, which was really lovely this evening. A lot of Irish music and a good singer (well the first one this evening, the other guy…) What you have to know… there is no service. You have to get your own drinks at the bar and also your food. No service also means, that there are a lot of glasses and bottles on the tables…. And there is no Wi-Fi for you, sometimes you won’t have internet access, because it doesn’t work inside… But it is a good pub, if you want to feel kind of home…

  • 5/5 Felipe I. 2 years ago on Google
    We were looking for somewhere to eat, in a city that was overcrowded. We ended up in this restaurant. Good drinks, a wide variety of beers, and very good food. The service has been outstanding, very nice people working there. All of this for very little money. I really think it has been a very pleasant experience. If we ever come to maastricht we will repeat.

    Cosy and busy but not crowded. Warm atmosphere and super friendly and quick service. Did not eat but enjoyed Irish beers on tap. Screens showing sports matches are not turned up to overwhelm conversation or music. Really nice spot in centre of Wyck to meet up.

    (Translated by Google) Have something to eat at the end of a day in Maastricht. By coincidence we end up with John Mullins Irish Pup. The card is simple. The four of us all choose something different; vega pizza, loaded fries "El Mexican", nachos and veggie burger. Each one is incredibly tasty, beautifully presented and portions that will make your hunger disappear. Highly recommended! (Original) Even wat eten aan het eind van een dagje Maastricht. Bij toeval komen we bij John Mullins Irish Pup terecht. De kaart is simpel. Met z’n vieren kiezen we allemaal iets anders; vegapizza, loaded fries ‘El Mexican’, nacho’s en vegaburger. Stuk voor stuk ontzettend lekker, prachtig gepresenteerd en porties waar grote honger van verdwijnt. Een echte aanrader!

    A nice Irish pub with a great selection of beers. They have several special beers which you normally only find in bottles from the tap.

    (Translated by Google) Very varied menu, super pleasant atmosphere, large assortment of board and board games. The best are the beers that almost all come from the warehouse and there is a huge selection of whiskey. Very nice staff that obviously likes to work there. The atmosphere is cozy and also close to the train station, easily accessible on foot. Come back next time. (Original) Sehr vielfältige Speisekarte, super angenehme Stimmung, großes Sortiment an Brett-und Gesellschaftsspielen. Das Beste sind die Biere die fast alle aus dem Lager kommen und es gibt eine riesige Whiskey-Auswahl. Sehr nettes Personal, dass offensichtlich gerne dort arbeitet. Die Atmosphäre ist gemütlich und auch in der Nähe des Bahnhofs, gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Komme nächstes Mal wieder.

    (Translated by Google) I had a cool evening here, where I was served quickly and friendly. Today I had to wait over 40 minutes to be served. The shop was empty and the waiters preferred to drink coffee and chat. Food and beer was good. It's a matter of luck whether you have a successful evening. Definitely not recommendable this time! Are better alternatives in Maastricht. (Original) Ich hatte mal einen coolen Abend hier, wo ich freundlich und schnell bedient wurde. Heute musste ich über 40 Minuten warten bis ich bedient wurde. Der Laden war leer und die Kellner haben lieber Kaffee getrunken und gequatscht. Essen und Bier war gut. Glückssache, ob man einen gelungenen Abend hat. Dieses Mal definitiv nicht empfehlenswert! Gibt bessere Alternativen in Maastricht.

😠 Worst attentiveness I have ever received in a cinema. Lack of humanity. Mocking of the clients. They gossip about the clients through their walkies. Horrible experience. Might as well buy the movie at home and watch it alone rather than having to go through such experience. Or go to another cinema....
