Molly’s is as traditional a pub as you’re likely to find in New York. Even the exterior screams “Ireland” with its white stucco façade against dark wood beams, and its antique-looking carved wooden sign. Inside, low ceilings, dark walls and sawdust floors are warmed by the wood-burning fireplace- a great place to defrost those winter chills.

The pub draws patrons of all stripes, from twenty-something’s to seasoned regulars, minus the boisterous happy-hour set. An ideal watering hole for a pint and an awesome burger, Molly’s also serves pub classics like corned beef and cabbage, fish and chips, and shepherd’s pie.

Limited seating means you may have to wait for a table. No worries, the bar staff will take good care of you and the friendly regulars usually have a few good stories to share.
