Disgusting from the outside. Drunks, smokers, thugs. The entrance smells cigarette, barf, beer, pee. I can’t imagine how is inside. Don’t go.

I like this place. The bartenders are real people and the crowd also seems more bar scene and less club scene(which I like). Drinks are made well, there is Keno(if you are into that), a big screen tv to catch games and prices are cheap. Karaōke night is a lot of fun there and draws a decent crowd. During the day you get bunch of regulars at night(depending on the day of the week) you get a real nice of mix of people. Always a fun place to hit on St Patty’s Day too with meal specials and Irish music. Check it out.

This place does not pretend to be something else, it is what it is… a good olé fashion irsih bar. The drinks are cheap and they have a real good selection of tap/bottled beer. The bartenders are all laid back and mix up some strong drinks. There is no pretense, if you want a drink, and shoot some pool or darts this is the place to stop by. Good starter bar for those heading into town or doing a pub crawl. The crowd is diverse, all differnt types of people. But i can say that they do not have the greatest looking female customers, sometimes an older crowd with some haggard looking broads. But everyone is friendly and down to earth.

First time at Honey Fitz: DJ was playing Tool and the likes and I was hooked! Bartenders make a good drink, beer is cold, crowd varies slightly depending on the DJ, but always good people and a good time! Owner is a friendly guy — he cares that the customers are happy! Highly recommend for a fun, casual place!

Oh, Honey… I’m not ‘from here’ like the rest of your people are. But after a glance at my ID, I was welcomed by a repugnant smell. The door guy swiftly remedied with some air freshener, after seeing our faces and hearing our remarks. Wednesday night boasts a karaōke night. Which, once the person who runs it is done singing, is a fairly eclectic group of people — some of which are really fairly good singers. After a Bruins loss and several decently poured Black Velvet(Magners on tap) I was convinced to sing, I am not going to add myself to the list of fairly good singers. Not that night anyways… Two dart boards, two pool tables, some video games, and enough elbow room(on Wednesdays) to even satisfy Gregg Valentino! It almost echoed. Almost. In the far back left of the space there is a handicapped bathroom, which seemed less frequently used, and though there is no mirror(so if you are handicapped, or less interested in using the two-stall-ladies make sure your hair and makeup are solid for the night!) it’s spacious and slightly less icky than the other option. The music that was being played really wasn’t what I would’ve expected, nor was it really what I wanted to hear — it was too loud to be background music, and too disorganized to really qualify as anything other than«shuffle on an iPod» style DJing.

Place hasn’t changed. When I was younger we use to go there to drink and fight… and we were never disappointed…

Apparently – and this is important – you aren’t allowed to play cards at bars in Malden. It’s a city ordinance. And it’s «fucking ridiculous» according to the Owner/Manager/Important Guy at Honey Fitz who told us we had to cease playing Hearts while we drank our beers. But you know what? The Owner/Manager/Important Guy was incredibly sympathetic about our card-playing desires. He gave us a free pitcher of beer for our troubles, brought us some darts, and even wiped clear the Cricket scoreboard so we had another activity to enjoy. If that kind of hospitality isn’t worth a 5-star review, I don’t know what is. P. S. This is far better treatment than I’ve ever received down the street at Hugh O’Neills.

Darts, pool, good beer for a decent price, bad beer for a great price… yeah I’m not complaining when there are so many options for having a good night here… and I have no problem drinking my $ 2PBR out of a solo cup when you run out of clean glassware… And for the second time, we saw High Voltage rock out some great AC/DC tunes… if you like AC/DC, check this cover band out… saw them at 303 Café as well.

Located just down the street from the douchebag Mecca(Oniel’s), The Honey Fitz makes you feel like there is hope for Malden yet. They’ll have a DJ playing all types of music, from dance to classic rock. PBR is $ 3.25, with other beers under $ 5. More than anything, you can’t beat the laid back atmosphere. If you’re looking to meet prince charming or your dream girl, you’ve come to the wrong place, but, it’s good for a group(we brought 11) and an all around good time in the heart of Malden.

i don’t know what compelled me to sing«el rancho grande«in an irish bar. we were young and carefree? the world was our oyster? we had a grand old time, of that i am certain. it was a long time ago and we were pub crawling with the king of sarcasm. the unluckys miss you glen, you were a marshmallow under that gruff exterior.

A cute place to meet friends and have a couple drinks. Nothing ground breaking here. It looks WAY smaller from the outside but it actually GIANT and has plenty of seating. From what I have witnessed the staff seems nice enough. All and all a decent neighborhood bar.

cheap drinks, pool tables, lots of seating, awesome local crowd, cheap drinks, live music, cheap drinks, darts, and the feeling that time stopped inside the Fitz around 1985. The regulars are good folks, especially the guy who reads books at the bar. As their t-shirt says, it’s not the Ritz, it’s the Fitz. If you’re looking for anything besides a drink, you’re in the wrong place,.

I’ve been in here once and nearly fulfilled the epitaph, «beer and a beaten.» It’s all my fault: I was craving to go to a dive. Me and my bud went in here one night with two girls and the moment we walked in you could almost hear the needle scratching the record and the music coming to an abrupt halt. Was it because the girls we were with looked like porn stars compared to the tired old broads that populated this dump, or was it because my Diesel t-shirt made me look too much like a superhero and my buddy had a tattoo sleeve before everyone else started going to Pelham, NH w/a wad of cash and saying, «I want a sleeve, all at once!» Anyway, we didn’t even finish our beers, we got out right quick, proving that if we want to hit a sleazy dive, we don’t have to leave Revere(at least we know all the thugs and degenerates there), and once again proves that Malden is effortlessly more trashier than Severe — by the way, what is the«townie» expression? This is Malden, not Charlestown. A «townie» to any Bostonian means someone from the 2129ZIP.

Ahh, the Honey Fitz. The place I used to spend have my bonus check on red deaths(shots) and bud lights. I do have good memories there. Some drama with various females that drink too much, but the bounces(if that’s what you want to call them) keep a watchful eye for B/S and usually disperse the problem right away. They have an atm there, 3 pool tables, 2 dart boards, coat rack, 1 bathroom and the back and 1 men’s and women’s bathroom in the front. Pretty good music, bartenders that much rather prefer cash then cards, especially on busy nights! And this pretty women that always comes around with dollar jello shots. All this talk is making me want to go there tonight. In fact I probably will. My only gripe is the parking. There’s plenty of street parking, but on a real busy night, you’ll probably end up having to walk 3 – 5 min to get in, unless you’re very skilled at parallel parking(which I’m not).

I like the Fitz. Cheap & strong drinks. Pool, darts, and that deer hunting game. Weird old man that sits in the same place everynight. More townies than you can shake a stick at. JFK’s face is everywhere, blessing it from beyond. It doesn’t try to be anything that it isn’t, and that’s a-ok with me.

This is a fun place to go. It’s Malden, so it’s a good mix of young and old, rich and poor, I even saw a girl wearing stripper shoes. The beer is cheap! I drank Corona all nizight for $ 3 /bottle, even tipped $ 2 instead of $ 1 a few times. I was there on a Friday, DJ Mark(pronounced Mahhk) was spinnin good tunes to dance to. There was a middle-aged couple dancing all night, they had a ball. I also won $ 2 on a $ 1 scratch ticket. All in all, I’d say I came out a winner. My dear friend Emily and I made good on our promise to have a Malden adventure that evening. We started at T.C.‘s lounge, see my review.
