    Excellent establishment. Guinness was perfectly poured. The food was authentic Irish American pub food and some of the best you will ever have. The chicken curry over rice and fries was solid but the Shepard’s Pie stole the show. The staff was friendly. Music was nice. Will be going back soon

    From the outside Molly’s looks a bit kitschy and unmemorable but as soon as you enter you know you’re somewhere special. It’s the warm glow, the old wooden everything, the perfect pour of Guinness, the chat with the bar maid from N. Ireland, the SPICE BAG and the Irish curry that lingers - all perfect. Good golly Ms MOLLY!

    Loved this place! A very chill place. We didn't eat just had some drinks outside. Kevin was our waiter and he was super friendly and accommodating. Loved the dimness of the bar. It had a very Irish feel. I would definitely be back. They have Michelob Ultra in bottles

    Classic Irish Pub. Love the food and got excellent service from the guy that works there. He was very friendly and kept checking in on us, went here on a whim and decided to get the fish and chips. They also have outdoor seating, I love the decor on the inside though.

    Very popular, especially on St. Patrick's Day, but if you can get in and a table, it's worth it! Their Irish Sausage and Mashed Potatoes (Bangers 'n' Mash) is EXCELLENT; will have to try their Corned Beef Sandwich or Corned Beef and Cabbage another day.

    The Shephards pie was great and small size was enough to fill up. And one order of the sides is good for sharing. My friends loved the burgers. Attentive and friendly service !

    My fave Irish pub in NYC. Be sure to enjoy the Irish Spice Bag. Tons of flavor here with some curry dusted fries, peppers, onions and chicken bits. Just a bit of heat make this a unique, savory and tasty dish.

    One of the most authentic Irish pub restaurants I’ve been to. Not only is the food amazing (try the pot pie—you won’t be disappointed!) but the service is incredible! Everyone there is so nice and welcoming. It’s a huge change of pace from some other restaurants in the area. Not to mention it was all decorated with lights for Christmas and was just darling. 100/10 would recommend and will be returning!

    Classic Irish pub, we were greeted by the owner who was very welcoming. Stoped by for a quick bite, ordered a grilled chicken pesto sandwich and a glass of white wine. The Sandwich was delish! It was served with nicely seasoned French fries and pickles. Tara was great! I would certainly recommend.

    I went in there the other night to get a burger around 10. I had tried the Old Town Tavern and Pete's, but they were both closed. The cheeseburger I ordered was about the best pub burger I've ever had in NYC, better than Donovans. And the side of onion rings were top notch. Glad I went, ill be back.

    They make you feel like family once you put your foot in the door! We had blackened cod and fish and chips. They were prepared perfect. We had great drinks, especially the irish coffee!!

  • 5/5 Emylee W. 3 months ago on Google • 23 reviews New
    Service was excellent. This bar is somehow lively and relaxing at the same time. Very homey. Cute pictures on the wall. The Irish spice bag was perfect. Margaritas were surprisingly good considering it’s an Irish bar.

    Longstanding, authentic Irish pub - with warm service that makes you feel at home. When I lived nearby years ago, I would visit regularly - couldn't go wrong with any dish. From time to time I still stop by and the Fish and Chips are just as crisp and tender as I remember (so hard to find good fish and chips in this city - especially with brown sauce/HP!). It's rare to find a real Irish pub with so many watered down imitations. Molly's is a treat and I'm glad it hasn't changed.

    One of local pubs and old school bar. I came to experience the same and I got it. We order Irish Bag (fries with chicken, onions, bell peppers) I drank the Irish coffee which was great.

  • 5/5 Kristina L. 7 months ago on Google
    Authentic Irish pub. Classic dishes. The roast chicken special and hand cut fries were delicious.

  • 5/5 Nina J. 1 year ago on Google
    In door seating can be very limited, but they offer outdoor seats with heated insulation. Our waitress was very kind and the food came out fast and delicious! It’s near Rolf’s.

    Awesome authentic NYC Irish pub. Was there for about 2 hours on a Saturday afternoon with some buddies and loved every minute. I was sad we couldn’t stay longer. The place is cozy, warm, and inviting. Friendly staff and a great pour of Guinness. It was busy and lively but we were still able to find seats at the bar and have a conversation at a regular volume. We didn’t eat but the food looked and smelled great. I will definitely be back next time I’m in Manhattan.

    A cute restaurant with outdoor seating!! The food was delicious and the portion sizes were amazing for the price!

    I love Molly's. They have the best pot pie in the city and the service has always been great. Last night our server Tara was no exception. She literally never stopped moving. She's a hard worker and still manages a smile. I will keep coming back as it's one of my favorite places in the city!

  • 5/5 Ricardo R. 2 years ago on Google
    From the moment we walked into Molly’s we felt welcomed, like at home. On a Wednesday night, there was a lively ambiance and a mixed crowd. Our orders came promptly. The Shepherd’s Pie was outstanding. We’ll be back to try its Chicken Pot Pie.

  • 5/5 Deb C. 2 years ago on Google
    Was there last week 5/2021, and the mussels are back on the menu, thanks to the Angel named Joanne! She's wonderful and the staff makes you feel welcomed. They care about your experience, and hopefully you care about theirs. They deserve great customers. My buddy had the burger and was in heaven. Thrilled to see these mussels back on the menu! The outdoor structure is well made with heat lamps and sunlight. Wonderful place, makes NYC what it is.

    Great food and great service. I had the fish & chips and my wife had the Reuben sandwich. Both were great. My daughter had the chicken pot pie and it was wonderful. I highly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Sue C. 2 years ago on Google
    Originally planned to go across the street to Rolfs but as usual, the line was down the street, so we came here. Not disappointed!! It was packed and 2-3 deep at the bar. The wait to get a beer was 15min, but we had great time chatting with everyone and passing the time away. It was too long of a wait to eat, but the burgers looked pretty good! Going back to find out!!!

    Had a really good Christmas Eve dinner at Mollys. Loved this atmosphere. The food was good. The owners were very nice. Service was great.

  • 5/5 Julie W. 2 years ago on Google
    What a gem to stumble upon on Christmas Eve. Loved the charm, friendly staff, tasty food, and plenty of holiday warmth. Highly recommend this Irish drinking establishment and even more so for the tasty morsels. French onion soup hit the spot with all the gooey cheese. We can see why thr Shepard pie is so highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Christian H. 1 year ago on Google
    So glad we landed here! Food and drinks were great but Joanne was the best part of our experience! So friendly and made us feel so comfortable!

  • 5/5 Carl W. 2 years ago on Google
    It was perfect weather on the first weekend October. The beer came quick and steady and each pour was fantastic. The fish and chips were absolutely genuine London recipe are completely authentic and delicious. The staff was wonderful and Charming as well.

    My wife and I went here St Patricks day parade 2019 and it was fantastic. Best burger I've ever had- it was a thick burger too, so it's not for the faint of heart

  • 5/5 Mike M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food, service and drink options. All around great Irish pub.

  • 5/5 Helena T. 2 years ago on Google
    Very great and local Irish Pub with wonderful food and service! Towering platter of corned beef & cabbage, generous portion of blackened salmon and yummy garlicky garlic shrimp. We sat outside AND they even put the SUNS Bucks game 2 on for me!! (GO SUNS!)
